ASICS Target 26.2 - 2013

Thanks, what's your average mileage during typical marathon training?

Good luck and congratulations on winning.

Love the pic Sarah - looking good!

Re new shoes, luckily mine are similar to what I had before - having watched the vids of my gait back for about 20mins (they were taking soooo many photos!!), they really do seem to help my gait a lot so fingers crossed they will work out ok...

Ady, was nice to all get together! The sizes were all over the place, weren't they?? I've come home with things in S, M and L!!

Grinchy (awesome),

It was an amazing bit of kit - apparently it costs 7 grand a pop (and the Oxford St store has four of them!!).

I have some photos of the results that I'll post on the new threads we're starting this week - it really is interesting (if you don't mind looking at my feet!)

Glad to hear you had a BRILL day out you 5 . Looking forward to the training blogs and photos (SLB and co) in a few days.

Well done  Paul & STTO!! We'll definitely be seeing so much more coming from both of you in the near future. DSanta2 that's sounding like pretty impressive pace that you've got going there already!

I've decided after much toing and froing and with a bit of a sad heart not to enter the F6 as I think I will enjoy and be much more useful and suited to supporting and encouraging you all in the Forum 6 and Asics 5 so you definitely won't be hearing the last from me  I've got a place for the '13 VLM so you can bet I'll be asking y'all for advice along the way! Lots & lots of love xox Caroline alias CaroT alais CarroT

Grinchy.......loving the name change! I definitely found it useful........especially when they compared the different trainers I'd ran in next to each other on the computer screen. Could really see the difference this way.

Moraghon....in the past I've gone up to about 48 miles (but that's the heaviest mileage week and with less tempo and speed work).

Steve........I'm exactly the same........Mrs. Shady_Ady wants me to put a picture of me in the red muscle top on here.......not a chance! 

Early start tomorrow followed by a sober XFM Winter Wonderland tomorrow night. Night all!

Caroline.........Sorry to hear you aren't entering Forum 6, but happy to hear you'll be supporting everyone in Forum 6 and Asics 5. Hopefully they'll be some tips that'll get you a new PB in VLM. 

Thanx Shady

Wow Paul!! That's amazing - well done!

Had a fab day today although apparently I have a very strange gait! (Knew I should have admitted to having a wooden leg Couldn't believe the kit I was given - kept expecting someone to stop me as I walked out of the door with it!

We've been asked to start new threads each rather than keep the voting ones open so I'll put a run down of my training plan on there when I get it so you've an idea of what's going on.

I'm going to be training for a sub 3:30 so I'll have a few minutes leeway with the GFA for Boston!

Can't quite believe that this time last year I hadn't even entered my first marathon! ... or half!

Caroline, sorry to hear that but I have also decided not to enter the Forum 6 Things at work have changed in the last couple of weeks, It looks like I will be going for a new job in mid February, so should put my energies into that.

I am still running, and will be supporting everyone here all the way. Will do an autumn marathon for definate (possibly Chicago??)

"Clivey" - nice!

Rightski, hangover has moved down to defcon 3 but please, no loud noises or shouting this morning, still very fragile here.

Really great to hear about Sunday - thanks for coming and posting about it. I agree, the 3D thing sounds quite amazing. I might have to pop in and check it out.

Best of luck on training kick off day. Sounds like they are easing you in Ady

What's this about a red muscle top? 

I see Mel has her new thread up!

PS. RRR - you won the name contest! Can't believe I didn't spot the Christmas link. I now have enough options to last me a lifetime.

Whoa lots going on on here. Had a weekend of not posting as sooooooooo busy.

Q: how do you calm overexcited 3 year olds down at this time of year?

Malcs I've think I got your secret santa present sorted yesterday. Will post a picture later tonight.

That's easy, just tell them you've cancelled Christmas. Problem solved...

OK, just called home and told him Christmas is cancelled!

How do I stop the crying?

can't believe they are making you set up your own threads.in the past the RW team have done it so they are uniform and easy to find.......i struggled to find the couple that have been set up.........I'm sure there is a reason for it.............

but after the best pre winners campaign ever ... i hope that it doesn't fizzle out with poor management and bad training plans that the majority will be unable or unwilling to follow...........

there are some great winners here so i hope that the next 16 weeks continues to do them credit....

Seren - I will happily set up my own thread and make it easy to find if you select me for the Forum 6
