SPR Mar 2018 2:57pm, 30 Mar 2018 25,819 posts	Quote Pin SPR Larkim - Sounds like no harm done and lesson learnt. I run in the mornings with no food beforehand but would always have something decent the evening before and that's more crucial after an evening session (I don't generally run in evenings unless racing but do weights up to twice a week).
Curly45 Mar 2018 3:05pm, 30 Mar 2018 3,494 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 I sometimes also get caught out with awful early morning runs if I havent caught up from the night before. I may do evening session, early morning 12+, but I know now to eat a decent dinner, even if not hungry when I get from the session (but usually I am so its fine anyway). You also need to be careful with REDs if you run hard then fairly hard back to back without fuel. Obviously a one off isnt a problem.
paul the builder Mar 2018 4:10pm, 30 Mar 2018 6,360 posts	Quote Pin paul the builder Gus / Fergus / Angus, it's all Scotch to me (and Curly).:-) Great 10m Curly. That's a good solid set of PBs now last year and this year. A 3:10-3:12 would round it off nicely.
Curly45 Mar 2018 5:22pm, 30 Mar 2018 3,495 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 I'd be hopeful for something a little quicker than that PtB
STOOSH Mar 2018 5:49pm, 30 Mar 2018 3,081 posts	Quote Pin STOOSH After a short skim read i see the sidebar is looking fairly i this year.. Sorry to hear injury has got the better of people lately. Not been around much this year mainly due to my own injury woes for the first 2 months of the year but getting back to some sort of normality now. I'm in for London but it's now a training run given my lack of fitness and not much time to rectify it in time. Best of luck to those with marathons in the near future and i'll maybe bump into those who are at London

Curly45 Mar 2018 6:15pm, 30 Mar 2018 3,496 posts	Quote Pin Curly45 Cheers! Dont forget CW you ran Woki really hard so still recovering I reckon.
Daz Love Mar 2018 7:25pm, 30 Mar 2018 984 posts	Quote Pin Daz Love Great run Curly. I done it a few years back an really enjoyed it. Was planning on this year as well but as not really in any race shape and not doing a mara, I didn't bother (it's a bit of a trek and early start for me) Did you see our Prime Minister marshalling? She does it every year.
