I'm planning on doing a 20(ish) miler the next day so will be running this purely for race experience. I also feel that I'm going to suck so I'll go for under 82 minutes. Missed the Frank Duffy last year too as I opted for staying in bed instead so looking forward to it this year, ran the route last weekend too, won't be able to run it this weekend me thinks because of that race in the park on Saturday and Sunday, really need to plot an 18 mile route for myself now.

Ran it last year (injured) in 83 something.

All going well this year, hoping for sub-73!

Not sure about this one now, ran 10 miles yesterday at 8 1/2 min miles so I'd say I'm good for sub 80 on the day, Macmillan has me down for 79, dream time would be below 78, I'm stickin with sub 80 as per the how fast will you go thread. Anything else is a bonus.

1:45, my physio has asked me to treat it as a training run with a free t-shirt at the end.

[christeb]

I'll do my classic, "overpredict my performance" thing again....sub 68 mins! I need to be going easily sub 70 to have a shot at sub 3:11 DCM, McMillan says 68:11.

Figs, I reckoon you should be sub 70 at least, even going by your last time in the 5m You've been doing good training, I don't want to hear any excuses!

.....or 5mile warm up - race - 5 mile warm down, interesting LSR with 10 miles of tempo @ PMP

67 09 last year but I felt I went all out for it. I was in better nick last year for that distance. Still, I'll hope to go sub 67 this year. In favourable weather conditions and if I don't get held up at the start I can hopefully do it.

....and like RQ I gotta do 21 the next day...

[gmurran]

Last year nearly killed me as it was the first time I had ever ran 10 miles.

Would like to go under 58. That's 4 minutes off last years time.

[Aimman]

Based on the 5M, macmillan says 81mins. I've been doing a bit extra on speed work in the last couple of weeks, but not sure if it will stand to me by Saturday week.

[mithril]

< 64:16 for me (McMillan 3 hour marathon equivalent time)

[TJC]

Hope to go under 62.30 but would be happy to go under 65.
First time racing this far, so hopefully i can start at a nice easy pace as opposed to going off like the clappers as i normally do.
Really looking forward to the race. Hopefully we get good weather..

[kaymin]

Hope to do sub 65 but will require alot of training in the next 8 / 9 days if I'm going to do it.

[rovers_runner]

McMillan says my 40:30 in 5m puts me at 1:25:04 so anything around that is some sort of consistency, although this is either planning for a slower start or a massive positive split...

Did a half last night so will balance that out with a couple of shorter runs at race pace towards end of this week.

[racheljev]

If I get in under 1:40 I'll be a happy bunny. Fast times are not an option for me at the moment, it's all about getting around - next year, I'll be quicker, honest

[hawkwing]

Hopefully under 7945 depending on how far up i start
