Going to be skipping the long run on Sunday due to hangover . I hate missing these and falling out with the program. Just feel as if I've fallin out of touch with a lot of friends because of the lack of nights out to do long runs on Saturday/Sunday. Anyone else feel that way since starting the program? Turning into a problem page.

This is the story of my last two and a bit years. I don't feel like I'm missing anything though. Nights in or just a few hours out is far more enjoyable, for me, than staying out for hours with everyone around you getting bladdered. I've never been a drinker anyway so would never be drinking as mych as them.

I see they've changed the location of the first energy drink station this year to mile 9 instead of mile 8. Nicely done, I thought I was out of the marathon last year with the way I was feeling running up that hill on St. Laurences Road after a couple of sips of energy drink.

Are they giving them out in those big bottles again this year? Hardworker might know? Seemed an awful waste last year.

I posted a few weeks back that I had a stress fracture in my foot and had to stop training for the DCM. But I was back out in hospital last week and it turns out that It was tendinitis. Now here is the deal, they told me not to run until next week which I must say im looking forward to it. Im still considering doing the DCM, ive already done Cork (1st marathon) this year. Just before I stopped due to foot I was up to 13 mile runs. I have cycled every second day and swam every other day to keep my fitness up (ive even signed up for the Sean Kelly tour of Waterford with all the cycling ive been doing).
I want opinions on whether the marathon is doable, lets say start training around 1st September. The week before that I will be doing small runs just to ease into it.
However, if the foot gives me any trouble I will stop and not bother with DCM, so thats not an issue with me.

Hey Guys,

Hope its okay to post this here instead of starting a new thread.
Is it too late to start training for the Dublin Marathon?

I'm not an inexperienced runner and had planned on doing it earlier in the year;

Did the Simon Community Christmas 10K in 44minutes
Rahney 5Mile in 33minutes
Great Ireland Run 10K in 42 minutes

Problem was I moved house this year and simultaneously took on a larger workload in work. Anyway both problems are settled now and I have more time on my hands but I just wanted experienced opinions on this.

Do I still have enough time to make a proper go at it or am I better off planning for a different marathon?

Thanks

It depends on your targets I guess. If your aim is to just run the 26 miles and not care about the time you do it in, then Id say you'd be grand. I knew a guy last year who decided to run the marathon 1 week before entry closed, so that was the end of september. He did 4hrs 59mins and he was not an experienced runner at all. So definitely go for it. 10wks to the marathon, so you could still pull something decent out of the bag I think.

Pick the last 9-10 weeks of one of the proven schedules such as the Hal Higdon ones, with those times for earlier races it would seem you are in pretty good shape anyway. Make sure you get in the long runs off what ever schedule you pick and you should be fine if you can stay injury free till the end of Oct, that's my tuppence worth.

Howdy all, first post for a first time marathon runner.
I've been training since mid may on the coolrunnings.com training programme for beginners.
up to 18 miles the week before last but haven trained since 11th august due to back pains. saw a guy about it and feels fine so hoping to get back in the groove tonight! Aiming at 20 miles on sunday.

hoping to complete the marathon first and foremost, but would love to do sub 4 hours.

Lots of hills on the roads I train on so hopefully this will stand me in good stead come marathon time.
I've a few very basic questions if anyone can help

1) whats the course like, flat, hilly ?

2) drink stations, are they just water stations or energy drinks like lucozade sport etc,and how often?

3) toilets. Are there toilets en route? I find for long runs due to taking in plenty of liquids I need to step into the odd field along the way

4) are there signs telling you your time and mileage as you go along?
I'd rather not bother with the watch!

any help is much appreciated.

The course is reasonably good. I know plenty of people who have run many marathons and yet have run their best in Dublin.
There are 9 water stations on the course giving 250ml bottles of water. There are also 3 Club Energise stations.
Plenty of toilets on route.
Clocks every 5 miles and at half way.
All details are available on the Dublin Marathon website.

This is my first time to tackle the Dublin marathon. I am not a fast runner but finished comfortably in all previous marathons. My last 2 marathons were 4.58 with only 10 seconds in difference! Talk about consistant!!I did the 10 mile in Phoenix Pk last week in 1.45. Any advice about how I could go even a little faster this time as i don't want to go over five hours. Been there, done that! Best time was 4.41 in 2005. Can anyone advise, thinking of joining gym! Thanks

As a matter of interest 'chez moi' how many 800's are you doing and at what speed. I have been trying to break four hours for the past 3 years and have run 2 at 4.07/8 and 5 at around 4.15. I have recently returned to the track (afer 20 years+) in an effort to improve pace and achieve that elusive sub 4 hr. I have been doing (10) 400's at around 1 min 35 second and (6) 600's at around 2min 33. I have been alternating 4s & 6s twice a week but going to drop to 1 session of 800's as I increase mileage. Any advice appreciated

Paddy sounds like you have a lot more experiance than myself. But on the 800's I'm doing sub 3:30 800's with a 3 min jog between each. I started with 5 x 800's and am now at 7. I'll build this up by 1 each week till I reach 10 x 800. I read about this on Runners World website. I had a really bad July with holidays and sickness only really got training around 8th August. Have the lsr up to 17 miles and doing recovery run 6 mile + 6 x 100 meter stides, Pace run over 80% HR for 5 miles (incresing 1 mile every week), 800s as above and mid-lenght run 8 - 12 mile.

Not too confident of beating the 4 hour mark this year after missing July but we will keep the PMA going

Hi, this was my own post last week.

Thanks for the comments I received. Gonna give it a bash and hope for the best. Have a trainning schedule planned out and all, just gotta stick to it.

geoff29

Must be nearly a year since I last logged in. Thought I'd kicked the running habit but then 3 weeks ago someone I know said, 'I'm doing the marathon', and that old feeling came back. You know - that Friday feeling? What happens when the old fire-horse hears the bell? Apparently it laces up the old asics 2130s and heads out for a couple of sighters over last few weeks! Went to the track tonight and ran very easy. Did 5k in 22:50 without attempting to get out of breath and succeeded! It's funny, I'm a million miles away from my old running pace but I'm really enjoying the easy runs - it's nice to just run and come in not feeling like your legs have done their last mile!! Might just go on a few more reconnaissance runs and increase the mileage - haven't gone over 5 miles as waiting to see how I'm feeling. Will try longer sometime this week. Thinking I might try the marathon even just for a laugh with absolutely no thoughts about time/pace.

I say that now, of course..!

ps. When I bought these shoes last year I thought they were terrible and consigned them to the wardrobe, but for how I'm going now - they really seem the business.

misty floyd

You haven't gone over 5! Good luck, but I'm just thinking....injury.

No dice. I forbid injuries.

But yeah, in all truth I think in about 2 weeks I can see myself rolling around on the floor crying. But not for 2 weeks!! Woo!

Did anyone else enter the competition for the free adidas runners that lifestyle and the Dublin marathon organised, I won collecting them tonight out in blanch, there's a free foot scan and a QnA with some runner, not sure who and there's 30% off all adidas gear.

MCOS

Yeah me... didn't win anything though

earlyevening

I won too. I dont know how on earth I'm going to get out there to collect my runners. I've gotta do a quick 16 now then battle against the Lucan rush hour traffic to get out there.... They better be good runners.
Might see ya out there woddle!

would have been better if they had the dublin marathon runners competition for a weekend.all well and good if you are around dublin but when down the other end of the country how are you supposed to make it
up on a midweek night so didn't bother entering.

I entered too but no joy! Well done to those who did win.
