Best of luck with the new targets J. I will be following your new blog with interest.

Best of luck with it, will be dropping by to see how it's progressing. I think the longer term view your taking is the definitely right strategy. When I formulated my own plan it was with the longer term view as well, by gradually taking 5 to 10 minute chunks of the PB at a time, hopefully then going sub 3 in DCM this year but if not Spring 2014.

Good luck belcarra, will follow your blog, sub 3 will be no problem to you. Start with the shorter distances and work from there.

Very, very best of luck with the sub 3, it will be no bother to you.

See you in Donadea:)

Yep, I figure I took 31 mins off for NYC, 10mins off for Cork, 15mins off that again for Valencia so if I get another 11mins off for Rotterdam and then another 7 mins off for Chicago I'd be happy.
Although, depending on what shape I'm in come October I may become more optimistic again!;)

Thanks Walkedit. I paced the 5hr gang in Dublin this year and I think I saw you at the start as you had your username on the t-shirt. Keep it going!

I settled for Blogger in the end but while most of it is pretty straight forward there are a few dumb design issues such as difficulty in constructing tables, etc. (Similar to here but more difficult to cog someone else's table design on blogger!)

I'll keep an eye out for your blog to rob a few more ideas!

Tell Phil, Alan King also says good luck - he better do it this time ('cos he's crap at football).

Anto & Medbh - Hopefully I'll have a nice photo of a Mayo flag crossing the finish line in under 3:15 come Sunday!
(I'll pass it on to one of the pacers if I'm struggling!!)

I was half thinking of pulling out of the race just so I could go to Croker and watch the Green & Red give the Jackeens a thorough drubbing!!

PDCAT

Best of luck Sunday Belcarra.
