    Seems like stand-alone running has become our Dirty Little Secret, now that we've our own playground.

    So, who's in to join the hairy-legged specimens from the dark side on the Bank Holiday Monday?

    I'm in. Have a 3:02:38 PB from last year. Hoping to run with the 3hr pacers this year and lose those bastard 159 seconds. Training going so-so - getting the mileage in but finding the pace a real challenge on the faster workouts

    I'll decide on the 27th or 28th of October :cool: I'll definitely train for the marathon I do after the next marathon I do.

    International Woman of Mystery these days - no-shows at A races, maiden victories, hard to pin down to events- I'd say the WADA guys have a hard time tracking you down for testing:)

    DCM got a bit of a mention on the Messing thread and myself, AmpWest:rolleyes:, Oryx and Catweazle will be joining JB's 3:30 pacer group with BennyMul also doing it for fun

    Gonna have fun ripping the pis$$ out of you lads & lassies at around mile 22, you will run faster to get away from me.

    This is getting a bit real now! Was alright in the messing thread, it could be laughed off there. :)

    Chances of JB lasting until mile 22?

    DCM threads in the "other" board. With the mini-marathon and Zombie run sh1te!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    Was thinking I was going to run DCM in a banana suit and push my nephews along in a buggy. Would that be cool?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    That depends. What would you be listening to on your iPhone?

    Whilst we have you Tunney i can run a 5k in 38mins, do you think off 6 weeks training and 23km a week that i could go sub 3 in DCM:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,361 ✭✭✭Kurt Godel


    Any fat girls doing this? They're the real heros.
    What's the medals look like?
    What's in the goodybag?
    My garmin clocked it at 26.5 miles last year, hope the feckers have re-measured.
    Can I wear headphones?
    I'm starting at the front.
    Are there 7 hr pacers?
    Lads could I do this off two weeks training? Used to do gaa so I'm fit.
    Anyone buying or selling numbers?
    Whats the record for a backwards marathon?
    My entry fee pays the elites wages so I'm their boss.
    Is this a pb course? I did 67 mins for the marathon in June.
    Can I bring my dog with me?
    Can I bring my elephant with me?

    I was going to start another thread to ask what other people listen to when they run. What music do you listen to when you run?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    Oh you know, the usual. 80s power ballads, David Guetta (a real pioneer of dance music who is in no way rubbish). Oh and Kasabian. I love them. Very talented bunch.

    Anything loud so to distract attention from the fact that I'm running, cos running is boring, you know? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,830 ✭✭✭catweazle


    I was going to start another thread to ask what other people listen to when they run. What music do you listen to when you run?

    I listen to dance music with plenty of vocals if possible, a uppity dj would call it melodic, uplifting, euphoric and epleptic, I just like a good beat for the faster stuff. Recovery runs I could listen to anything to be honest

    Favourite current running albums * in training runs only, it is not allowed in races

    BT- These Hopeful Machines (nice call from Kingquez)
    BT - These re-imagined Machines (dj mixes of the original album)
    Dirty Vegas - Dirty Vegas (great for tempo runs - constant beat)
    David Guetta - Nothing but the beat (charty but very catchy)
    Paul Oakenfold - The Goa Mixes (going all out on the bike - therefore very rarely listened to :o)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭Bambaata


    Am doing DCM too. Hoping for a sub 3. Definitely not doing this the convential way! Havent exactly given myself huge time to ramp up the long runs so after two hours (longest ive done in a good two to three years) will be interesting. Should be managable though. Ran a 01:29 (slight short though I think, by about 300 - 400m) HM last week in the lost sheep tri on legs that were toast so im thinking theres some endurance there.

    Music wise, im all about the techno (Ben Klock, James Ruskin, Surgeon, Shed, Jeff Mills, Ben Sims etc). Use to play around town, country a bit and local forests/golf courses. In fact if anyones interested im playing in Twisted Pepper on Saturday week. First gig in about 1.5 to 2 yrs as part of Bodytonic's 10th anniversary. It was actually Trev, BT bossman, who introduced me to triathlon in the first place! I use to be resident for their Pogo night in Pod and then TP. Considering I havent turned on my decks in a few years, this should be "interesting"!!

    Jaysus! We've a messing thread that goes all DCM serious (my fault, I know) and a serious DCM thread that goes all messing!

    Seems to me that these runner folk might feel threatened by th Tri folk doing running!? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    Ok, for serious post! Doing it, first time. Should be well able for 3:30 but aiming for sub 3:40 or so, want to enjoy it.
    And I don't listen to music running, the rhythm upsets my...rhythm.

    Didn't realise you served in Iraq?

    3:40 marathon. Assumed you lost a leg in Iraq or Afghanistan?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    Ah, very good. And I was all careful not to use the word "running" in direct reference to my marathon attempt. Can't win.

    I get the fact of the enjoyment but why not push yourself, surely you get more enjoyment crossing the line knowing you could give no more. + you will get to admire Oryx in the 3:30 group and laugh at the midget pacing it:)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Chartsengrafs


    Maybe you're right. Just not sure I've put in enough long miles. Will see how I am in a month or so.

    Great
    I am a sub 3hr pacer.
    I have many questions around cranksets, bottom brackets, power meters...
    I can wreck your heads for info then for 3hrs:)

    Half tempted to do it now myself and run behind you with a big sign "its more like 60km for him, look at this ickle legs"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,468 ✭✭✭sconhome


    3:30 is going to be like a Compressport AGM with all the calf guards and shaved legs that will be there.

    In your current state a sub 3:30 might be a stretch:) I have a feeling the 3:30 group is where the action and fun will be at.

    I hope JB doesn't have to wear a helium balloon? He'll need to wear a pair Kayanos to keep his feet on the ground ;)*

    Planning on doing it. Did a 20 miler this morning and hated every step of it. Misery heaped upon misery. I was hoping for sub 3 but after this morning...confidence booster my arse!

    *I may or may not be the same height as him.

    As for Bambatta, you can ignore anything he says, he'll be at least 10 minutes up the road by the finish.
