kaichandler Well organised, flat race on minor roads, almost no traffic. Hot drink and snack for a pound, changing tents, but long queues for the portaloos. ***The best teeshirt ever!!! - Nothing special to look at but one but seems to be a technical fabric I'll be running in for a long time*** Poole Runners 3:06:00 3:06:00 3:20:00 3:06:00 55.41
Marigold Plan is a controlled training run. Plan is to run the first half in 60 and then the 2nd in 57ish MMH20 Report As I said early my plan was to run 6:00m/m for the first half and then try and do a 57ish for the last 10 miles. First 5 miles : 29:40 (5:56m/m) All going to plan and my HR nicely ticking over around 5bpm below marathon effort. Running with a club-mate who was looking for around 2:00 and we were going along nicely. At this stage there were 4 runners ahead of us with the leader around a minute up the road (Poolerunner) 2nd 5 miles : 28:34 (5:43m/m) Was still going to plan up until around 7-8 miles although we were picking up the pace a little bit. We were pulling in a couple of Vets who were up ahead ( including Mr Hargreaves) and the temptation to pull them in was slowly increasing our pace. It was around 9 miles that I realised that I was feeling very strong, had just moved into second place and estimated that the chap in 1st was around 2 min up the road. Was getting a sniff of a possible win which caused mile 10 to be a 5:27. Average for this 5 miles was around marathon effort 3rd 5 miles : 27:47 (5:34m/m) Feeling strong and making sure I stayed below 1/2 marathon HR by a few beats I slowly started to claw in the lead runner but not that fast. By the end of this 5 miles I was still around a minute behind and started getting doubts that I was going to make it. 4th 5 miles : 27:09 (5:27m/m) Made a real effort around 16/17 miles and knocked out a 5:21 and a 5:23 which enabled me to catch up with the leader.(This was helped by IW and Tag on their bikes giving me some big support - cheers boys). Sat behind him for around 1/2 mile to catch my breath and then at around 18/19 miles I pulled out a 50-100m which I then managed to hold on until the end. HR stayed a couple of beats below 1/2 marathon effort until the end. Really chuffed with my first DRRL win and although I was a bit disappointed I didn't have the mental strength to not race, I don't feel I'm going to need that much recovery so it hasn't done me too much harm. Last 13.1 miles were just under my 1/2 PB in around 72:30 Bournemouth AC 1:46:01 1:53:14 1:57:00 1:53:14 80.74
ndellar Will have a better idea of timings after the 18 miler on 15th Feb, would hope for close to 3 hours, but probably between 3 or 3.5 Spa Striders RC 3:13:02 3:15:11 3:30:00 3:15:11 51.74
