Had a nice steady 7.15 mile run today. And how I wish I didn't have to wait another SIX weeks before my marathon. I'm ready - bring it on.

How many 20+milers have you done FR?
I've only done one so far. The next four weekends have got days booked out for the rest!

Just about tapered out BB :-).
Just one more run really tomorrow. A bit of tempo work and then I'm carbo loading (that's my excuse anyway) and climbing the walls cos I won't be running until Sunday 
So yeah, fine thanks!

Good stuff - get ready for the lethargic feeling when you carb load and don't run it off right away!

I've got six weeks as well. But unlike FR I don't feel ready!
I'll get there though. And I'll PB. I flipping well hope so, anyway, or my running programme over next year will have to change

Well BB, I wish you well and I'm sure you'll get there by the looks of your form.
Crikey! I wish I could run like that!
I'm seriously looking to increase my speed after this marathon. Plenty intervals and such like in v. large portions!
Still going to keep up my stamina on LSRs though too. I look like getting plenty or earlies in

I feel ready, but I know the next six weeks will make me even more ready. I've only done one 20 miler so far, last Sunday. I've got a 22 miler a week on Sunday and I will do a 24 miler two weeks after that.
I think the real reason that I want the race now is that the next six weeks gives me more chance of picking up accidental injuries. I can't believe that I haven't had anything other than very minor setbacks in the last 12 weeks.
Good luck with yours on Sunday, Ian,

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs)
I am going to find it difficult to fit my 18 mile run in at the weekend, can I have opinions on doing it tomorrow instead of my scheduled 8 miles steady, so far this week I have done:
Sunday - half marathon [pb] + 3 miles recovery
Monday - 5+miles race speed [RNR 3rd leg] + 5 miles ave 10.18 per mile
Tuesday- Rest day
Wednesday - 6 miles ave 11.30 per mile
Thanks
