Some of those 'typos' were strange and then the insult to you when he or she has zero idea what kind of times you've done for any distance never mind a marathon* *(Be it a 5k marathon, a 10k marathon, a Half Marathon marathon or one of those really long races, the eh......... Oooooh, it'll come to me) Just to be clear, I didn't report it either!!! Have a reputation for some fairly 'industrial' language myself.

When you put it down like that that you didn't do your 1st 10k til June QB, you did amazing work from June-October!! daisyos you've been given some great advice here and i appreciate the confusion over the title of the races you've done and then the typo caused further confusion... however another tiny bit of advice is try to avoid using derogatory terms quite so readily next time! Everybody here is giving of their time and advice for free and in my experience anyhow most people really do mean well I'm a couple of years knocking around here but still consider myself a relative newbie and am in awe of the level of experience here and the willingness to offer encouragement, support and advice across every level.

daisyos1 wrote: » Thank you for the helpful advice. Its a goal of mine I started last year, I got myself up to 10km in the space of 2 months training which I thought was decent. It won't let me edit the title on boards so there's nothing I can do
Amirani wrote: » It's just that it'd be helpful to know whether you're looking for actual marathons to run this year i.e. 42km, or for runs more in-line with what you've done before? There's not much point in people suggesting the former (and associated training plans) when you actually want the latter.
quickbeam wrote: » 49 minutes for 10km is pretty darn good. We all have off days, but nothing wrong with 30 minutes for 5km especially on a tough course. If you join Parkrun you'll get more regular 5km times and get a better idea of what your average for that distance is. You could do a "run" a day nearly with so many events on over Ireland so the sites recommended above are a start. But if you do want to run an actual marathon, all 42.1km of it, then I'd recommend the Dublin one (both as an event, as within the locality you stated you preferred). You'd need to start upping your weekly mileage. Have a look at last year's novices thread linked above. There are people on that (including yours truly) who were far less capable starting that program than you are now, so if it is something you have an ambition for, there's nothing to stop you. This is a great forum with lots of advice on offer for runners of all abilities. Nobody was abusing you.

I said marathon because that's what it's called, VHI MINI MARATHON. it's not mini run. I do know the difference, any nice people understand where I'm coming from. I'm looking for ADVICE not ABUSE.

quickbeam wrote: » Daisy, people are just confused how you did 5km in 30 minutes, but 10km in 29 minutes and are wondering if one of them (probably the 10km) is a typo. What was your actual mini-marathon time?

I also joined a club and enjoy running with a group we are all at different levels but still stick together. club's are great you will make some great friends. The Irish 5 mile ( I loved last year) in Phenoix park Then the Dublin race series all Dublin again If you got a chance to go further, the Waterford Viking 1/4, half and full is another great run I did the quarter myself and I loved it. I am thinking of doing the full this year

daisyos1 wrote: » The rock & roll half marathon looks great and the VHI women's mini marathon. I have to research more and find more marathons close to me.I completed the 5k run with the rock and roll series last year. I have to say it was tough, although only 5k it's mostly uphill around Phoenix park and I barely got through it. It took me 30 mins which is wouldn't usually because I completed the women's mini marathon last year in 29mins and that's double the distance. You're a step ahead of me because I'm still building up to a half marathon, I'm envious! What type of training do you do?
