Don't put pressure on yourself but don't talk yourself out of it either, you need some good positive vibes to push you on when it starts to hurt, I always tell myself that the sooner I get there, the sooner i can stop!

eL Bee! Oct 2007 9:00am, 11 Oct 2007 1,554 posts	Quote Pin eL Bee! B Rubble - SO much of running a good marathon is in your mind! Trust that you have done the training - and bang out those even miles Hopefully will get to wish you luck on Sunday in person. I'm pacing for a sub 3:45, so you'll be finished, showered, and supping on a well deserved 'beer' by the time we come in

I'm no expert (far from it - still to break my marathon cherry), but you've put in the training and, I'm sure, you've got a plan in your mind - I'd say stick to it, run your own race and if you pace it anything like eL Bee! did Berlin I'm sure that the sub 3h15m will be in the bag!
B Rubble Oct 2007 9:30am, 11 Oct 2007 83 posts	Quote Pin B Rubble Cheers JB. Yes I have a plan, hopefully I won't go off too fast or feel like I've blown it at 1/2 way like I did in Paris.
Woffy Oct 2007 4:44pm, 11 Oct 2007 203 posts	Quote Pin Woffy I am clocking out now and will stay in Dub tonight then hit Brussels tomorrow, and we will see how the run goes on Sunday. I try not think about how few miles I do compared to everyone else, I just hope it goes right on the day. Have great races / runs, I look forward to swapping stories next week.
