I'm planning to give the 50K a go

Oisin11178 · 13-04-2012, 15:24

Ill be down, dont know what ill do yet. Great race.

RacoonQueen · 13-04-2012, 17:07

Was considering doing one of these earlier in the year. Shame it's a week before Dunshaughlin, would love to give one of these a shot.

Conleth5 · 13-04-2012, 17:14

I have a knee injury and only 3and half weeks to Belfast marathon. Was gonna cycle for training. My last long run is on Sunday , has anybody any idea about how long I should cycle for to make up for my training?

RacoonQueen · 13-04-2012, 17:24

By the way this event has it's own event website now - http://www.forestmarathon.com/news.html

A mod might put it in the OP.

RayCun · 13-04-2012, 22:11

at your feckin' beck and call, am I?

Conor74 · 14-04-2012, 08:33

Have entered Cork. That will be only my second, after DCM last year. Is 12 days enough recovery time? When it's described as a forest marathon, is it on tarred road?

**Cabaal** · 14-04-2012, 09:34

I think I've become unhinged after Connemara Marathon, I'm seriously considering entering the 50km of this.

Ok Connemara didn't go so well but then I did never properly train for the hills, I figure on a much flatter course like this i should be ok.....and hell whats another 8km ontop of my previous longest distance.

NoGutsNoGlory · 14-04-2012, 12:31

might enter the 50k... whats the course like??

jonny99 · 15-04-2012, 20:23

I loved this one last year,i'd highly recommend it folks,a fair course,well stocked with water etc. and a RD who knows what he's doing, and the 50k is probably as good place as any to try out an ultra,considering that you cross the finishing line 10 times..
And you get to run alongside 100k running legends

New website is now up :

Let me know if things are missing or you want something added to it.... remember it's only me doing it so don't ask for wonders, just basic relevant info.
