    The longest race I've run is a 10k and I'm always careful about what I eat, even the in the day or two before the actual race. I'm not sure but I think it can take more than 24 hours for food to pass through you so if I were you, I wouldn't be eating anything dodgy in the two or three days before the marathon.

    As others have said. Stick to what you normally eat and what you know is safe. Don't try something new on the morning/day of the race or the day or two beforehand. That would be my advice.

    Good luck.

    cheers for the advice lads, I was planning a bananna on brown bread, 2 eggs,an orange, nutri grain bar, cofee and high 5 4in1 drink in the morning...

    would there be anything in there to suggest i would be running to the toilet alot as that's my main concern.

    I'd lay off the fruit and brown bread, the fiber in them could have you dying for a crap late into the race. Eat with bread instead, no need to eat too much as most of it won't be digested and you will be carrying it around in your gut.

    That's an awful lot of food. :eek: How many hours before the race are you eating that?!

    Pity that it's not on today, just in from walking the dog and it's absolutely perfect out there. Tomorrow not forecasted to be quite as good :( Kind of regretting rescheduling all my running around the rain now... oh well. Just need to HTFU in future I guess.

    Tomorrow morning I will be eating the same thing I ate before 90% of all my LSR's ever - porridge..

    No need to eat 24 things - and have to take 3 toilet breaks on the course :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,866 ✭✭✭drquirky


    I've been stressing about the weather- but to put it in perspective, I went back and looked at the stats for the National Lottery HM on 17/9. I've linked to it below but they are nearly identical to the forecast for tomorrow, same temp, same rainfall, same avg wind speend (30kms per hour)- The weather certainly wasn't a factor that day and I'm pretty confident it won't be tomorrow! Good luck everyone, see you at McGrattans!

    It'll be even less of a factor, I hope. Most of the city is sheltered enough compared to the park so we'll have some respite even if it is blowing a gale.

    Also, some of those weather forecasts are miles off. I saw 20-30 mph forecast for this morning and it's only a light breeze out there. Just got to wait and see.

    Best of luck all. Making it to the start line healthy is half the battle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭dernipper


    Am I dreaming / going mad but in one of the information updates on the marathon was there was a link or mention to where you can track someone using their race number running in real time?

    Can someone confirm if its ok to pick up the chip/pack for someone else who is registered? I have his printout but i cant find the info on the site if its ok for others to pick up his stuff


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 150 ✭✭dernipper


    Yes it is ok, just make sure the acceptance form is signed and dated, picked up my friends yesterday aswell as my own, no problem, in truth the organisers from the race series to the marathon itself could not be more helpful

    Hi Heffsarmy, was that you calling over to the pacing stand yesterday afternoon around 3 o'clock? Wasn't sure if it was you or not. Best of luck tomorrow..

    Does anyone know if the marathon will be available to view following the event on RTE Player? Here's the listing for the coverage on RTE1

    (too many training logs, if I try to catch up there I'm bound to forget someone)

    Good Luck to everyone tomorrow - I hope you achieve what your training deserves, it's been great keeping up with everyone's logs and I've been making notes for the Spring.

    Weather Outlook from Irish Weather Online:
    Dublin City Marathon Forecast: The race should start dry, breezy and around 13 °C, but increasing cloud will signal the arrival of rain by around 11am, which will be heavy at times. It will last until early afternoon, so for the majority, it will be a mostly wet race, so bring a rain jacket if you can!

    Best of luck to everyone tomorrow. Cant wait to hear all about your experiences. Enjoy it

    Good luck everyone, happy hunting!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 244 ✭✭Aquals


    Agh, I just put a hot iron on the timing chip on the bottom middle of my race number. Anyone know if this will have damaged it so that it won't work?

    I see there are two chips on the back of the race number anyway - is one a backup or does anyone know why there are two/how they work?

    Thanks and good luck to all! :-)
