Congratulations Ady! Very happy to see that you got through and I'm looking forward to hearing all about how it goes for you. At the very least I'm sure your posts will never be boring! Well done!
Yes, I do feel sorry for those runners who had been training and traveled from far away for the NY Marathon this year. Obviously you can't stop Mother Nature, but I do wonder if the decision to cancel could have been made earlier. Anyways, that's a discussion for another day...
I think NY is such a famous event that it's probably on most people's lists who have even thought about running a marathon. Plus I've always wanted to visit NY, so it would be ticking off 2 things in one go!
So the marathon distance isn't enough of a challenge anymore? How did your first Ultra go? I have to say I'm not tempted at all to go those extra miles!
Wow! Those are some great photos and amazing experiences you've had. I don't know what else could possibly be on your list, but is there anything you still dream to do? (Besides win this competition and run a sub 3:30 marathon of course! )
I would love to do NY marathon and I know you've said before you've done that. Any tips on that race in particular?
I like the last two pictures, they really made me laugh. They're almost like before and after pictures. Boston photo - "Before I ran 2 marathons in a week." London photo - "After I got a PB and ran another marathon 6 days later."
Can't say the look on your face in the London photo is really inspiring me to run a marathon though...
Sorry if you've said this already and I missed it, but out of curiosity, what was your time at London?
You've got my vote and I definitely hope you get through as I have a feeling you might have a few more interesting experiences to share!
I was wondering as well if you run with a Garmin or something similar and find this helpful. I'm rubbish at judging distances so when I have ran outside I've tried to use an app on my phone to record my distance but have had problems with it freezing mid-run. Although of course I didn't notice until I got back home and it can be very frustrating to look forward to seeing your time/distance and realise the app stopped after the first 10 minutes! Can you suggest any apps or do you think a Garmin is worth the expense for a beginner?
