Currently doing fun stuff like sourcing new runners (asics nimbus 17) and planning a half marathon and 20 mile race beforehand. Also I have to plan out my life as the six nations is on in the lead up so need to factor in long runs on Saturday mornings when I normally play golf. Life as I know it will slightly change for a few months but hopefully it will be worth it.
You can't beat going overseas to a new place you've never been before to do a marathon, its what I've done for my three marathons so far.
Roll on April! eek!
I'm probably 50/50 nerves/excitement
I did the Milan Marathon relay before but didn't have to worry about bringing gels, eating breakfast etc etc as my part was only 8 miles. Good to know you recommend it!! 0 -

starting to get excited about this!! 10m run today instilled some confidence in me. felt good and strong and its been a while since I did any distance!! Long may it continue!!
Would love to put a few faces to the names before Rotterdam, let me know of any meet ups for runs although i'm slower that most of you. Think the aim will be to get as close as possible to current PB of 3.57, the dream would be to better it!!;)
I run during the week in Phoenix Park and at weekends in Meath but can and will travel for running company:D
well you're not slower than me definitely should organise a PP weekend meet up maybe some day if your doing easy miles & I'm doing some @ mp. It'll be April 10 before we know it!!! 0 -

I've never been but Rotterdam looks like the most boring place on Earth! As soon as I'm finished the marathon - off to Amsterdam with me:)0 -

It couldn't be that bad now could it
What has Amsterdam to offer that you can't get in Rotterdam :pac:
In general after a decent marathon effort I'm fairly wiped out, and in no form for a full on "visit a new city and see everything, now go go go" experience. A bit of a potter about for a look-around, some nice food here and there, few drinks in the evening, you know, OAP style
Is Rotterdam that boring a place where everybody is outta there straight after the marathon and heading to Amsterdam??
If that is the general consensus, I'll take that advise with thanks.
So, what is everyone's thoughts, what have ye in mind...
1 Pre race in Rotterdam and off to Amsterdam straight after
2 Pre race in Rotterdam, stay in Rotterdam marathon night, and then off to Amsterdam on Monday
3 Stay in Amsterdam altogether and travel to Rotterdam marathon morning, and leave straight away after
Is there a beverage consumption gathering in the planning post race at all, or is that just one or two beers straight after and we all drift away in our own direction:D 0 -
