Adidas 10 mile run / half marathon 26/9/09 Anyone doing the adidas 10 mile run tomorrow, im doing it as a exercise for the marathon. Its on in the phoniex park, anyone else running it then its a weekend of the footie and golf
I reckon 13 miles would be pushing my limit. Haven't done long distance running in a few years. Are the application forms available yet?
Fair play to you! One day I hope to get to run a marathon. Its on my list of "things to do" but have never gotten around to it. Is it your first marathon? Is the training really tough? Are you with a club or on your own?
Apps here: http://dublinmarathon.ie/race_series_halfmara.php Its my first one and yes it is tough. Sometimes find it quite boring, running with a friend for the races but training alone. Training is ok at the minute most runs are about 10miles, but i have to gradually get these up to 20miles by the start of october. Worst thing i find is getting out to do the run, when im out is ok, but its the though of "right i get home, then i have to run for 1h30mins etc" that gets me down at times It was always a "thing to do " on my list and this year being the 30th year of it i said ill do it. It is some buzz running and having people cheering and encouraging you along the way.
I am sure its very tough to get motivated. Its sometimes hard to get yourself back out in the evenings for 30mins let alone 1h30mins! Are you running for a charity? If you are maybe there are also others running for that charity and maybe ye could meet up for a few training sessions - might make it that bit easier. Best of luck with your training anyway and the event itself.
I feel your pain buddy i really do, Im training for it myself up to ten miles time wise 1hour 55 mins however im not realy worried bout the pace as i have set myself a time of 5 hours to complete it and then maybe next year i will push for a good time, gonna try up the distance to twelve miles at some stage next week, my training plan is two long runs (ten miles) and three short ( 6-7 miles) each week
yeah, i actually took a few days off and i actually remember what my legs feel like. Iv had nothin but muscle aches the last 6 weeks
anyone else do the half marathon today. did it myself in a time of 1h57m39s delighted i got under 2 hours how did you get on molby??
Didnt do it mate not gonna do any races until the big one in october....... Thats a great time mate fair play now get those legs up and get some bevvies into ya........
left knee is badly cramped or has a muscle pulled around it. have it strapped up with a heat pack on, but im not looking forward to the big ones times so far are: 5 mile in july - 40mins 10 mile - aug - 1h.25m 13.1mile (half) - 1h57m39s im thinking the marathon will take 4.30 or 5hours. I actually cant imagine having to do another 13miles on top of the half
You will be fine mate just focus on getting across the line Im really looking forward to it Im up to 15 miles in 2:25 in training cant seem to get past the 15 tho seems i have hit the wall and have a mental thing about going past it so hope to god i can get rid of that before the big one
marathon is on 26th october bit late now to be starting out for this years one maybe start training for next years one
