AlanO Oct 2008 6:17pm, 5 Oct 2008 84 posts	Quote Pin AlanO Thats the rest period over. Only ran twice this week very easy, ate too much rubbish and had a few drinks. Back to training today with a Very easy long run. Our club now has 3 weeks of XC Relays to improve my speed work. Looking ahead now to the spring and trying to pick the best marathon that will give me the best opportunity of cracking the holy grail. If I can't blag a London entry I'm looking at Rotterdam, Paris or Edinburgh. Your views would be appreicated. If I've missed out on any other good choices feel free to throw them into the hat.

You should have seen my finish vid from last year... i didn't quite collapse, but I had my own personal escort of marshals and docs between the Brandenburg Gate and the finish... I don't know if it helps at all but 3:00:04 for me @ FLM 07 became 2:56:34 that day. No need to go mad: recover well, and train consistency over the winter and it'll be yours for the taking!

Building up base miles now and starting a 24 week training plan in November for Lochaber next April. Hoping to put a hefty dent in my 2.59 PB.

Ex-pat Scot Oct 2008 1:59pm, 7 Oct 2008 524 posts	Quote Pin Ex-pat Scot Controversial - shouldn't you be doing the 8 min mile pacing next year?! [10 min mile, then 9 min mile last year- surely there's a natural logic] How did you get into the official pacer role?
