I'm running Christmas Day which will be a first for certain! Getting dropped off six mile from my mothers where we are going for the day and running the rest of the way! It's hopefully a mental boost for me to get through next few months - if I can make time tomorrow should be able to do it any other day! What are peoples plans for other events along the way? My hh plan has a half mara on 2nd February and I've found a run in torremolinos so hopefully having a quick trip away! |

Hi everyone, have entered next year's race and really looking forward to it. It'll be my first marathon and something I've wanted to do for a very long time now. Likely to do a quick run tomorrow before going to parents for Christmas. First time running on Christmas Day but my training so far has been quite patchy so feel as though I should to get back on top of it. |

Got some decent mileage in during the holidays and already got a few 20's in the bag. Now looking to run a few higher (than previous marathons) mileage months in the lead up to Paris in the hope of a new PB. Bought a new rucksack with some Xmas vouchers with the intent of run commuting to work again a few days per week to help get some runs in. Hope everyone else's training going well. |

Bumping this thread to the top. I entered a few months ago, and training has started well. Not worried about a time yet, just want to get some good mileage in. Now trying to sort out travel and accomodation, plus the dreaded medical certificate |

I did Paris a good few years ago, the med certificate is easy. My GP asked if I was training, I said yes, he wrote a short note to say I was fit using the wording from the website.

Like Davie, I needed a cert for Nice to Cannes a few years ago and asked my GP. He filled it in for free without any checks although he knew I was training. Asked again last week for Paris this year and similar story where I filled the blanks and Dr happily signed & stamped it without fee.

Been a good start to the year until after Sunday's LSR. Had my highest ever monthly mileage and going great guns then did 22 on Sunday with no issues. Afterwards though my problematic calf started to tighten. After issues wih it in the past I think I know how to deal with and manage it but rested yesterday and this morning as a precaution. Might ty getting out tonight for a plod. My flight and hotel been booked for some time although I'm out on Saturday and back on Sunday night so night much time for touristy stuff or socialising. Thinking of going to see PSG v Reims on the saturday evening. |

Fingers crossed for the calf, Andy, Training was going well for me (amazingly so) until Sunday when I came down with a cold/sinus bleugh. Supposed to be doing Wokingham Half this Sunday. I think I'll make a final decision tomorrow whether to race or drop back to training pace...... |

Four weeks today people - how's everyones training going? I've had a few weeks out over past couple of months with some injury trouble but rest and physio got me back out quite quick, going into the biggest week of my plan this week with the dreaded 20 miler next weekend but looking forward to it. |
