    Total to date? Is this total from starting the schedule.... ie if on week 2 it should only be last weeks total or total from when we joined the thread? I've put in 2 weeks for no good reason but will change accordingly if needs be.

    I put in 'total since I started the schedule', but I don't think it really matters.

    Hi all,

    Haven't been around for a while, focusing on my my 1st half marathon next sunday in Clontarf. I did the full distance in a training run last week and did it in 2hr 19min.....the course i did was fairly hilly and my used my own home made energy drink which back fired on me:o:p

    I'll make a decision on the full marathon after that !

    I have to scrap doing the full marathon in Longford in Aug because of work commitments and limited time for training, but i am doing the half that day instead.

    The emphasis in the Higdon plan is to run easy, but get used to the higher mileage. Deciding what 'easy' is, is up to the individual runner.
    ^ Got it in a nutshell. Easy pace is going to be different for all of you, and can even vary from day to day depending on how you're feeling, weather, pollen, time of day... While the thread is named "Sub-4:30 Mentored Thread", that doesn't mean you're all tied to 10.18/mile pace! All I'll say in terms of pace guidelines for midweek is that the runs should feel comfortable.

    Your targets will become much clearer as training goes on, and the races you do in the meantime will also inform you somewhat.

    Thanks for the advice on pace - I was stressing about that last week for some reason so will just relax and go at a comfortable pace right now.

    Howareya,

    I have been knocked out of this table twice this morning and the last entry knowed 3 of us out.

    Please take care to ensure you quote the latest post before entering your own details.

    I'm sorry if it's not my place to say this, just trying to keep everyone together :)

    James, it looks like we posted at pretty much the same time hence you're not on mine as I just took the last one up. Will re-post so we're up-todate.

    30 miles covered since I started this regime.

    Forgot the discussion topic in my previous post which was inspirational quotes
    You never fail unless you give up

    very apt for running too I think.
    No matter how hard it is keep going and you'll cross that finish line.

    hi all
    I know its late but i was wondering if you have room for one more little one?
    Hope so because this thead looks really helpful.

    Have you raced before?
    Done a few 10ks etc april 2010 great ireland run 56.25
    Half marathon in enniscorthy 27/06/10 2 hours 15mins
    -Do you still need to take walk breaks in your training?
    yes unfortunately!!
    How much training do you currently do? Distances, how many days a week, cross training - whatever you think is relevant
    run about 3 times a week, play tennis and swim once a week
    What do you want to achieve? Dream finishing time and realistic finishing time?
    doing a marathon is my dream. dream finish 3.59 realistic 4.40!
    How many days a week can you train?
    4 days maybe more
    Why are you running this marathon?
    because I think the sense of achievement would be incredible and it would be proof that i can conquer my inherent laziness. it would be a dream come true if i crossed the finish line.

    I know that it's week 2 of the plan but since i did the half on sunday i thought i might be fit enough to join in now??

    Welcome :) If you've managed the half ok, you should be ok to hop in with the plan. The long run this week is just 7 miles.

    D Chief - how did the 5k go? :)

    5k was good. I finished it in 25min 30sec. I was happy enough with that. It was my first ever 5k race, so is an automatic PB. It was a hard enough course with 3 short but fairly steep hills in the last 1-2k. Lovely warm day and I really enjoyed the race experience.

    I don't plan to do any other races before DCM except the Dublin Series 10 mile and half marathon (I will be away for the 5 mile).

    Did anybody else find it tough today? I did my 6 mile pace run at 8.48/mile and really struggled.....I'm not sure if it was the poor prep for Saturday's LSR (although did an easy 3 miles on Tuesday at 8.45/mile and was fine) or the hay fever or England going out of the World Cup :eek:.....
