In Sept I ran a half marathon in Kilkenny, the following week I ran another half in Dublin as part of the race series and 6 weeks later I ran the full marathon. My only advice to you would be not to overtrain and risk injury. Build your mileage slowly. Find a running buddy if you haven't one already, you need friends and laughter to get you through those long training runs. The most I ever ran was 20 miles 3 weeks before the actual marathon then we tapered off to save energy and the risk of injury. A lot of people don't make it to the start line, they get injured before the day. If you make it to the start line you are already a hero! Enjoy the experience. The distance won't kill you, the pace will. Complete, don't compete. If you have a good mental attitude and you put in the miles it's doable. Last January I started with a 5-mile race (Terenure 5 mile) and I finished the year with 26.2 miles (Dublin City Marathon). Enjoy the journey... Good Luck.

Looking forward to the brighter nights as running on my own in the dark is getting a bit old I am up to about 5 mile now and can feel the difference in fitness. Its amazing how fast you adapt. I am looking for a 10K to 1/2 marathon training app/plan so if you come across one let me know. the C210K is great i would really recommend it. How are you getting on?

Picked up an injury there so only back in action again now. Did you do the c210k program? I may start that tmw. I haven't run past 10k yet so no program's. How many days a week are you running?

Irishder wrote: » "Have you started the plan?" No not started the marathon plan yet. I am starting into a half marathon plan this week. Plan on doing the Waterford viking half on 22nd June. I have signed up for the 10K in Phoenix park in a couple of weeks so that will be my first event. Bit behind on training recently as i was in and out of hospital for a few days and took a couple of weeks to recover. Hopefully it wont impact my 10K too much. How are you getting on?

I'm entered for DCM & have some friends doing it also , but we find it hard get out same days for training, so I'm mostly running on my own. I will find long runs now very challenging on my own. Are there any groups around Dublin 15. Thank you.
