Don't worry, we are all going to have to get each other through this and I haven't started my training yet either. Having a small ITB issue at the moment so I am hoping to get back into training asap. Which backpack did you go for?
Gosh! You guys are very organised! I think I need to get onto booking some rooms. I will also be on my own rocker and getting the train too so a hotel in newcastle is a must.
Thanks Sleepy Bear Any idea which marathon you might go for?
I've checked with my 5k time trial time and that says I can get a sub 4hr so i'm thinking of using the RW Ultimate sub4hr plan for manchester with some slight modifications to incorporate the beginnings of my other plan. If I start now I should be able to build up slowly enough to avoid injury.
TSD - I didn't even train for the walk! My sister dropped out at the last minute and my mum was still insistent on walking it so asked me to support her. In reality I should have said no anyway as she ended up hospitalised at the end for four days and now for this, but hey! I'm not bitter about it, still had a great time at boot camp with everyone and I will definitely be keeping in touch with everyone.
I don't think that I will go forward for the forum 6 purely for the fact that I want to tailor my training towards completing the ultra at the end of June with the 20mins run/ 5mins walk tactic I think.
