Liam fair play to ya. Great running enjoyed the beers and war stories. I know how you could run pick up the pace with those last few miles by the way but that's another days waffling
great stuff again. Your mrs genuinely seemed to have a great day. The weather always helps in fairness. 0 -

Back to Berlin ...Id highly recommend this marathon.... Great course in a great city and logistically on marathon day it has to b one of the easiest places to get to and go from... I believe registration for 2012 opens in the next couple of weeks so sign up :eek:
.
I agree Berlin sells itself well and most importantly my wife loves the city aswell, I have a reminder in my phone for the 10th of October. I've already booked the Berlin half in April
I'd love to see you concentrate on the marathon as you obviously have a talent for running and I'd imagine you'd do some damage to that PB next year.0 -

Great for a visit. Try living there for two years while working with agressive germans. You fall out of love pretty fast

Nice one....It definately helps with training when uve a foreign trip to look forward too....
As regards another marathon I think ur right....... Will concentrate on Conn Ultra first but will probably tackle another marathon then.... Really need to change alot of things to progress tough... Have to concentrate on working on my basic speed and also have once and for all to give up the fags.. Dreadful habbit and needs to b knocked on the head....theboyblunder wrote: »Great for a visit.

Err this is embarrassing :mad:.... Smoke the guts of 20 a days.. Silk Cut Purple.. Coming up to a marathon ( nerves etc) u can add another 5 or so onto that.... So silly I know but no willpower whatsoever... Going to try and knock them on the head again soon for purely financial reasons... In the current economic climate I cant justify spending so much money on the fuc!ers.... Hopefully come Conn Ultra I'l have a new set of lungs so I can give it a right go 0 -

What you reckon you would have ran in berlin if you werent smoking for say 6 months. Gave them up today myself AGAIN.
i PACED A 3.15 THIS YEAR AFTER 20 the day before and it felt easy two weeks after a marathon but if i had to break 3 that day i wouldnt have smoked the day before.0 -

Glad to see you back, thought we'd lost you
. Are you still on for Donadea and Conn?
Yep Conn is still my main objective so will use Donadea as a training run.....Alot of work to do in the next few months but glad I took the rest....... 24 hr race in Bangor also part of the plan for 2012 0 -
Tuesday 3rd.....6 miles....46.34....avg pace 7.47...
Wednesday 4th.....4.24 miles...31.32....avg pace 7.26...
Headed out in terrible conditions and chickened out of longer run.... Got a belated Xmas present in the post ; P and D's Advanced Marathoning and am enjoying the read.. Plenty of tips and advice... Have decided to follow the 70 to 85 mile 12 week plan for Conn.. Looking forward to seeing how this workes for me...
Thursday 5th....11.9 miles steady ....1.29.00.... avg pace 7.29...
1st of the P and D runs in relatively good weather conditions...
Friday 6th... 6 miles recovery...48.03... avg pace 8....
From now on im going to keep the pace of recovery runs no slower the 8 mm...
Saturday 7th.... 17 miles....2.03.08.. avg pace 7.15
Not sure if I can run tomorrow so did this today....Last 7 miles of this was run at 7mm pace.... Im probably being very ambitious but the plan from now to Conn is to run MP or should I say UP at 7mm.... Other runs in the plan for eg Lactate Threshold I plan on running as if I was training for a marathon....
Ive lost alot of fitness in the last few weeks as miles 14 through 17 were a right slog but my hunger seems to b back so onwards and upwards 0 -
