Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Doing a spring marathon?

6 miles for me today in the Newcastle sunshine. Have been feeling like crap this week for some reason,and missed a couple of slow runs, but over the worst with a week to go before Marathon of the North. Hopefully the extra rest will work wonders.

3:42 for me at VLM. My second fastest marathon and quite a pleasing time for what was a training run. The main focus is Comrades and so the main objective was to look after my legs. They are feeling ok at the moment so hopefully job done. :)

I hope that all the other folks who did marathons today got on well.

Well, I survived VLM :) it wasn't the eperience I was looking for but it was an experience :)

5.44.15 - it was too hot and I got pushed and hurt my foot somewhere about mile 14 so the docklands bit was pretty miserable.

However, I now have a time that I know I can better :) so no excuse not to do another one.

Best of luck to the Mnachester crew next week :)

Hard to say for sure Colette: by 11 weeks the plan may be very high mileage. How are your legs after Brighton? Be careful not to overdo it now. Your endurance won't desert you and you need to build back up.

I did Brighton then Hannover on 2011 with 4 wks gap and used Hal higdon's multiple marathon plan. There is one for six weeks apart for you
halhigdon.com

Hannover was one of the best marathons I've run because I just felt on perfect form and got my first sub-4 there.
