kstuart Nov 2007 3:09pm, 11 Nov 2007 435 posts	0 kstuart Ultra's rock i gather. Not got my first until Feb then another in June. I suspect Hipps and Shades will find me some more. Does 3 marathons in 3 days count

paul a Nov 2007 3:11pm, 11 Nov 2007 510 posts	0 paul a Lore of Running (Noakes) and Everyone's Guide to Distance Running (Williamson) both have schedules and discussion focused on Comrades. Plenty of time to run a 5 hour marathon before June.
