NelskiBL May 2014 6:20pm, 3 May 2014 165 posts	Quote Pin NelskiBL Aye - it's all getting quite imminent.
Mave May 2014 6:22pm, 3 May 2014 1,520 posts	Quote Pin Mave Bit too imminent. I do NOT feel prepared for this one.
NelskiBL May 2014 6:24pm, 3 May 2014 167 posts	Quote Pin NelskiBL Ach! It'll be fine. When you're at the start you know you'll make it to the finish. (That's what I tell myself.) I'm a little underprepared too - long run tomorrow and next Sunday - then taper time.
Mave May 2014 7:01pm, 3 May 2014 1,521 posts	Quote Pin Mave I'm doing 20ish tomorrow then my plan says to start tapering. But because of time out earlier on, am thinking of going longish next weekend too.
NelskiBL May 2014 7:13pm, 3 May 2014 169 posts	Quote Pin NelskiBL I was looking at 16-18 tomorrow. 18-20 next weekend. Then slamming the brakes on #:oD Probably 12 the following Sunday following on from a 10K event on the Saturday. A real easy last week. I'm feeling ok about it, I guess. I ran the Rome Marathon in March and had suffered from some knee niggles which meant I hadn't even ran (only x-trained) in the four weeks before the marathon. I think that's why I feel like I'm still catching up with myself: though I'm not chasing missed miles or anything.
Mave May 2014 7:35pm, 3 May 2014 1,522 posts	Quote Pin Mave I missed a lot of miles in March and April, when i should have been hitting peak mileage. Its my second ever marathon, so i know i can do it, i just don't know if i can do it quicker than my first one, as I'd hoped. How was Rome?
