I've removed myself from the table - picked up a knee 2 weeks ago which was diagnosed as runners knee and advised that rest was the only real remedy. It's still not right and rather than continue to push it and possibly do some long term damage I'm going to drop out of DCM 2010 ... against better advice I dropped into a program at weeks 5 and have suffered the consequences
The new running aim is Connemarathon 2011
Best of luck everyone and I wish you all the best for October0 -

Sorry to hear that but sounds like a smart move. No point in wrecking your body for a marathon. When you're in top shape it will be so much more enjoyable Good luck. 0 -

Very sorry to hear that. Best to look after yourself and get the injuries sorted though, there are always more marathons but you only have one pair of knees. Connemara looks like a really good race anyway, and I hope the training goes well for you.
Don't be afraid to pop back in here from time to time and offer a bit of encouragement too 0 -

I just came accross this thread, is it too late to join the gang?
Have you raced before? If so what are your PBs? (Date and distance please!)
The only proper race I've done was the Ballycotton 10 about 3 years ago.
I hadn't ran before that so I started training with a group, I did 79' 44" and I was pretty chuffed.
Don't think I've done an 8 min mile since though :rolleyes:
Do you still need to take walk breaks in your training?
Nope
How much training do you currently do? Distances, how many days a week, cross training - whatever you think is relevant
before I started training for this marathon I just ran casually, maybe once a week for about 7 miles.
What do you want to achieve? Dream finishing time and realistic finishing time?
Dream time would be under 4 hours, realistic is hopefully 4.30
How many days a week can you train?
3/4
Why are you running this marathon?
It was something I always wanted to do.
I have been kinda following a plan from the Dubmin marathon website but I wasn't fully confident in it as the longest run it had was 18 miles so I decided to plan out the last 9 weeks properly, that was when I saw this thread.
I miscalculated the weeks when I started training for the marathon so I'm actually a week ahead of where I need to be
I did 15 at the weekend @ 9' 24" pace so I was pretty happy with that.
I got a pain in the back of my knee after 14 miles and its still sore today, its the first run I've been sore afer (as opposed to stiff).
I had done a couple of 13s over the last few weeks.
My biggest problem is that I've missed out on most of my weekday runs for the last 2 weeks due to work.
Before the last 2 weeks I was getting in 2 or 3 6 mile runs during the week.
I plan to give my knee a couple of days rest and then try to get back into my weekday runs.
And hopefully I'll be there sub 4.30 with the rest of ye in Dublin

not my best week I just felt really really tired all week. Whether that was down to the 13 miler last weekend or a lot of travelling this week I don't know.. maybe a combination. I'm in mini taper mode for the HM next Sunday so hopefully I'll be back on track then. Nerves are kicking in! 0
