Hello, I'm just joining this thread as I'm almost 19wks pregnant at the moment.
Ran a lot before I found out I was pregnant, but haven't done any running for a couple of months.
Have been working on getting my fitness back up recently and then I'm hoping to start up a few short and gentle runs again really soon.
I'm hoping my two month break won't be too much of a problem, as I was running three or four times a week before hand. Had a place in the London Marathon, but have had to defer to next year. Hey ho!
I really miss my running, so hope I can keep going for a long as possible while I can.

Hello back to everyone.. Badoo - I am wondering whether to do an intermediate plan and aim to get around in about 4 - 5 hours, or to just do a get me round plan and aim to do it in whatever time it takes me  not sure which level of insanity I've decided on yet , and this is my first marathon so I might be completely over-estimating my leg power... how about you? (or anyone else?) Philippa - I've been doing the same, except I also have the 24 week plan as well  I got a really good suggestion off another board (the running bug one), which was to do a 16 week plan, but over 18 or so weeks to allow for any problems... think I might do that... | |

Congrats Mike, that's excellent news. I got a ballot place but am still going to run for charity, still not sure who though. I'd like to run for a smaller charity that maybe wouldn't have representation... All ideas welcome... | |

Thanks Len 2, that sounds like a really good plan. I think that may be the way forward... Sounds like your training is going well, and I think positive thoughts really do help. Good luck. I am planning on doing a lunchtime run today in my shiny new neon pink running top, can't wait!. Thought I'd better invest in some bright kit if I've got to do runs in the dark.. Also need new trainers next pay day, too.! | |

Hello, I'm pleased to see this thread up and running Congrats to everyone who's got a place.. I got a ballot place in the London Marathon 2012 (much to my shock), and have never ever run a marathon before... I have been running for about 7 years though, and have several HMs under my belt; ran the GNR and Royal Parks HM this year, so I'm not starting from running-scratch so-to-speak, but the furthest I've run is about 14 miles - not entirely sure where the other 12 ish are going to come from! My main worry is I don't know when to 'officially' start training. Since the Royal Parks I've been running twice a week. I've downloaded the offical 24 week plan from the VLM website), but I've also been looking at 16 weeks plans, not sure which ones to follow... eek! Very excited, but also a bit nervous! | |
