2012 Marathon thread

Well done on everyone's training.

If there is a thread started next year I'm not sure if I'm going to be posting on it as I have absolutely no intention of doing a marathon or half.  The furthest race I'll be doing is 10k.

My first VLM training run too, 6 miles with 4 at 7mm (treadmill).

NP - yep! Hotel at mile 25 so showered, changed and out to cheer folks on. After watching some of them I realised where the 'never again' brigade came from!  

kaz you'll soon get back to it. Weather at the coast about a mile away was shocking, 100ft waves!

Didn't we have a 2011 Marathon Tread  - that was a good one!  Whatever we have next year it'll have lots of super fit canines.

Haha yeah Jason, i managed fine. Longest run since the Glasgow Half mind. Double day tomorrow hopefully, 4+4.

6m this morning in the mud and hills with the club, plus a few short strides. All ok...

6 miles this morning with 4 miles tempo

Teknik nice running in the mud

Afternoon all, walk on moors with dog, then was meant to be a 3 mile run ended up being 7.59, in a 1hour 13 minute at a pace of 9'39 per mile,

got really achy legs and knee is hurting, on a plus point down 5kgs from when i weighed in at work.

anybody know if barefoot running shoes are any good,

No double for me!

Just about managed to drag myself out the door for a 3 miler - just getting over tummy bug.
Lovely setting sun over Scapa Flow with sky changing all the time.

High winds forecast again which may well affect daughters getting back home for Christmas

Tek- watch the knee in the mud! Nice run though

OH- sorry to hear about the bug, but glad you're getting over it

AM6- well done on weight loss. Take it that wasn't during the course of the run....

NP-nice tempo running

4m recovery this morning and 10m with 4m tempo lite this evening. Legs starting to feel better towards the end of tonight's run. 10.03m in 1.06.55 (6.40 av)

Just over 4 miles tonight on grass/mud legs feeling a little on the heavy side tonight.

Nice double Jason.( running on the grass and mud this time of year sure works the legs going to do more of this over the next month or so, it reminds me of running in the snow.....)

AM nice weight loss sorry cant help with the bare foot thing.

Spark lots of stretching and foam roller.

OH Lots of that bug here not looking forward to the wind and rain over the next few days

Tek,

Thanks.

OH,

We've avoid the tummy bug at work it just appears to be the usual colds & flu.

Andy nice dog running. Hope you shake the niggle and well done on the weight loss.

Jason great double

Spark hope the knee is better now

NP great double too
