Yes indeed, it was fletch. In Dunboyne.
However, I don't recall him supporting in Raheny, and if he was, aquinn wasn't beside him sure you got a laugh out of me anyway :pac: 0 -

How do you know she's talkative if you don't know her name?
Ariana, I agree with AMK and AGYR on the target time.... only caveat is be prepared to change plan on the day... for example, if it's hot and humid like today.
And no matter what anybody says, highly unlikely that you will do a negative split, so don't worry about that. I would recommend considering a joining a pacing group if you can... takes a lot of pressure off the pacing.0 -

You will surprise yourself,
the taper will recover your muscles,
crowds will lift you,
adrenaline will push you,
Stubbornness will help you,
the training will win it for you.
Go for it.
1st half: 2:22
2nd half: 2:18
I still think you will do it better.
The only risk is you meet someone at 5m who is as talkative as you and you stay jabbering away for the next 21 miles
I'll have you know I'm actually very quiet :P
Thanks everyone who's taken the time to reply, some great advice there but nothing too far from what i was thinking myself either so that's good too No doubt i'll spend the next 13 days :eek: deciding on a strategy and then changing my mind 5 minutes later :pac: 0 -

Comments: Dark and damp night but i enjoyed this so much more than Friday night’s run. Pace was lovely and comfortable. Followed up with glute work and foam rolling.
Comments: 13km/8m total. Still in a good bit of pain in the knee at the start of the week, still limping. Physio on Wed did a good bit of deep tissue work along the ITB & down along the peroneals. He also did some dry needling in the same areas. The leg felt fairly dead after it. But Thursday I was definitely moving better. Back to Physio on Friday, not quite as torturous as Wednesday and i got the go-ahead to try 3m easy on Friday evening or Saturday. Week finished a lot better than it started, feeling cautiously optimistic about toeing the line on the 29th 0 -

Comments: Aim here was 10 miles very easy emphasis being on time on my feet, unfortunately i got into trouble from about 4.5m, my knee started to get tight and then the pain set in. Slowed down a lot but and was able to keep going til i got back to my car which was just over 8m. Rather p*ssed off after this run, hard to see myself running another 18 miles in 10 days time
Followed up with glute activation, stretching & lots of RICE.

Comments: Physio worked quite hard on the hamstrings and ITB again. Tough session. Taped up the knee & hamstring. Suggested 5m on Sunday and 5/6m next Tuesday/Wednesday, both to pain free or else definitely no marathon attempt. It’s 50/50 now

Comments: Nervous heading out for this but it was a lovely day for it and i felt pretty good from the start, legs felt loose & free. And ultimately was a pain free run unless you count the million and one niggles i am now feeling in every part of my body :eek: HR on the high side, head cold to blame for that (to add to my woes :rolleyes:). Drinking lots of fresh ginger & lemon tea but maybe i need something stronger.
Followed this run up with a cryotherapy bath again.
Glute activation, stretching, foam rolling etc in the AM & PM again
Comments: 29km/18m. What can i say, it was a roller-coaster of a week and i still don’t know if i’ll be lining up next Sunday or not, watch this space i guess :cool:0 -

I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions! I know it's still a bit of a wait-and-see but it's great to hear that the run yesterday went well, and hopefully that means good things for Sunday! God knows you've earned the chance to line up and give it your best go, really hope it works out that way for you 0

I have been following your training and can read how much it means to you to do DCM. Great to read that yesterday's run went well for you. I have my fingers crossed for you for Sunday.Sunny Dayz wrote: »Hope you have a good week this week and fingers crossed that you'll be good to go on Sunday.
Thank you, thank you, thank youCatching up on your knee troubles here, Ariana... really hoping you make it... how's it looking now??
Physio again today but i doubt he will do very much except tape it up again. I'll admit I'm nervous, very very nervous. It's a mechanical issue caused by weak muscles (glutes/core) and impact so it could potentially seize up again, Physio can't give any guarantees but he's given me good advice for trying to get moving again if it happens and the key is to control my pace to lessen the impact :cool:Have everything crossed for you - your log is a great read and I’d love to make such amazing progress over a year! Hope the knee behaves!
Thank you so much and welcome back to the logs, i look forward to following your progress too
