Not posted on here in a while.....been busy with the running and so far so good !
I am up to 19 miles in my training and my Marathon date is 15th April.
How many more long runs around this mark should i do before the final day ?
I know people say you never run the full thing as it is too much plus I dont want to over do it come race day and not have the stamina for the whole thing any tips ?

Ladies and Gents as some of you are aware or may not be, I am running the Brighton Marathon Sunday 15th April .

Am feeling pretty nervous now as it really is only round the corner !
So for those of you who feel like they would like to come down and cheer me over the finish line.....hoping i will make it to that point would be great to see you plus I need as much encouragement as I can get :)

Someone shouting DAS at me on the archway ....failed at that, going up hill im afraid but waved on in acknowledgement :)

Hope to make it up tonight and drink a beer or two or three ....no running this week so xchanging for beer instead !

Twas a great eveing ladies and had been far too long since i made drinks !
Awesome cake i remember saying "oh just a little slice ...." Sligthly chunkier and thought i would not consume all ! But fear not I had to scoff the lot it was bloody delicious !
Happy Birthday ms.chris and Shoosh hope you enjoyed the rest of your birthday weekend x

i think i'm going to loose a toe nail....

has this happened to anyone else due to running and is the pain worse than death?

Ha yep my big toe is on its way out :( I thought it may be the fit of my shoes but like you say i reckon its due to the running .
And the others are feeling rather sore like they are bruised

Er... how long does it take to get marathon fit? I think I've just signed up for the Brighton one in April but I've never actually run more than about 13 miles in one go before...

Hey Im doing this to ! If you fancy doing some training together let us know may help with the motivation !
But be warned I am running at a pretty casual pace only because I want to be able to finish it :)

I shall be along to this one for sure .
Unfortunately no booze for me though, not for the next 3 months :(
But am looking forward to catching up with you ladies !

See yu all in a bit

So thge Fawcett it is then ?
As I am gonna be heading out in the next 20 minutes en route to the pub !

@Sainsburys Ed At the moment your current mileage for a week is 50 miles running in one week ?
With your program then are you doing a run more or less everyday ?
Is this the average if training for a marathon ?

Shit sorry too many questions I know :)
I am currently training for the Brighton marathon . I know people have diffferent programs it just makess me think should I be running more .
Now I feel confused

Yep more peer pressure ....go on, go on, go on.....its been ages since I have seen you lady x

Nooo I have no time to do any cooking either things have gone mental busy soo I shall bring edibles of some sort but shamefully not the homecooking varieties
Hope to be there around half six time
See all you lovely ladies tomorrow :)

Yep I shall keep an eye on the foot cant really afford any injuries.
I will see how it feels as I have a short run to do today and if it annoys me then a few days rest for the foot.
Thanks !

Well I completed my first 13mile run yesterday at an ambling pace of 2hours 10 minutes !
To be honest I didnt feel to great towards the end wether it was just fatigue but my inner thighs started to cramp up and my right foot the arch was really quite sore.

But still i managed it and today I feel physically fine like I didnt do it.

I just hope the more longer runs I do eventually my body will get used to it and these aches and odd pains will go ?
Anyone who has done half marathons feel a little bit like crap after ?

Hey Happy Birthday mister !
Have good one x

Thanks rhb !

When i started running i started with the treadmill then gave up the gym and started outside.
It is so completely different as in i attempted running the distance i had been doing on the treadmill and it was so much harder.

Went for my 8 mile run yesterday after my week of rest and managed it in 1hour 10 mins.
Shaving 10 minutes off my previous !
Slowly getting there only another 18 to go :)

Any advice on running in icy snowy conditions for when we get the cold weather ?
Am a bit worried about falling and injury

Are you here for just a fleeting visit ?

Yep I made a gradual start but it is hard trying to motivate yourself if you are doing it on your own but hey just go for it sign up for something and then go !

Ahh baking caking look forward to this one and see what delight I can conjure up !
The 15th is good for me who cares if I have to go to another christmas drink the next day it is the month of December after all it would be rude not to !
