Marathon Lads Feb 2009 8:46pm, 1 Feb 2009 4,674 posts	Quote Pin Marathon Lads Gloucester Marathon & Watford HM Sunday 25 January we ran the tough severely undulating Gloucester marathon in 4:56 it was out, 3 laps and back - I knew i had to concentrate on phscycology rather than physical - the first 2 laps went well, almost unnoticed as it where - but as the hills on the third lap went - it took it's toll - i knew we could finish but at the last hill at 22- 23 miles i felt fatigued and sore though the last flat 2 miles was'nt bad - i spent most of last week wondering whether there's another marathon in me - then i thought - hang on - i'm pushing 11 stone of wheelchair - i should be proud - it was our 32 nd FM Sunday 1 February Watford HM our 176 th HM i think it was a cold breezy day - but most perfect in every way you could imagine Our Watford course best is 1.56- but never went looking for any of that - only to run , chat, laugh , have fun and just concentrate on my physcology - we finshed happily in 2:12 were happy - i'm relaxed and feeling good

Feb 2009 11:48am, 2 Feb 2009 12,663 posts	Quote Pin 7 miles in the snow, (no pram though!) able to go at a reasonable pace considering races over weekend. As it was 0600 in t'morning the snow helped reflect the light so it was brighter.
swittle Feb 2009 12:26pm, 2 Feb 2009 1,810 posts	Quote Pin swittle 4.5 cautious miles on a light dusting of snow just after 6am - my Saucony Grid Trigons coped superbly with the conditions

GregP Feb 2009 3:10pm, 2 Feb 2009 13,192 posts	Quote Pin GregP Swittle - do you have any problems with your Trigons? Mine are fine up until about 12 miles then they seem to lose interest in supporting my arches...
swittle Feb 2009 4:08pm, 2 Feb 2009 1,812 posts	Quote Pin swittle Greg, I have to admit I'm a fan - this is my 3rd pair and I blatantly abuse them: they give good or better support on the road (I'm not the most sylph-like of athletes) and love multi-terrain work and trails, provided it's not gloopy. V. happy on sand and forest trail too.
