    8/1 shot i reckon. Everything has to go right. Sub 6 miles for the distance is pretty much a different sport to what I ran last year.

    That's daunting, I don't blame you for ignoring the slow runs!

    For what it's worth I agree with trr, the definition of slow differs from runner to runner. Just mind the niggles and it'll work out well for you

    It was Hadd, so I've attached that, what I was referring to is from page 8.

    I reckon you are well capable of that, assuming you get to your ideal racing weight and stay injury free. The latter could be the biggest challenge given some of your earlier posts. Do you do any strength or core work? Might help the body get through the extra demands of training for a 2:30 marathon.

    Best of luck with it anyway.

    Ah Jaysus. That sucks. I remember reading of his original intention to run a sub-3 marathon and thinking 'not a hope in freakin' hell' and then as he neared his marathon goal, and was running faster and faster times, I started thinking 'maybe, just maybe', and then he rocked in with a 2:48...

    Next he said 'I'm going to shoot for a 2:30' and you know what? I thought 'maybe, just maybe'. I hope someone will drop back and let us know how he gets on. I hope he blows that one out of the water too.

    Ah that's a pity. It was a great log, I'm sure I wasn't the only one lurking on it.

    Best of luck anyway!

    I think it is the back slapping that finally got to him. That and some other things. I think he was running scared of our fast approaching "get it on like donkey kong smackdown" as well. It's great I can now freely hurl abuse in here without the fear of retaliation ;)

    That's a shame, one of my favourite logs. At least report back to tell us if you get your 2.30 marathon! :)

    In his last PM before he closed his account MFF confessed that there was a Lance Armstrong type case coming out against him. It was going to be his Luke Ming Flanagan moment after running around a track in a yellow t-shirt with a stay off drugs slogan with kids following him like the pied piper a few months back ;) He also admitted that all DSD athletes blow and professed his undying love for Tallaght.

    I don't think this is MFFs first account so he might be back. Anyway what are you doing posting in the training logs, people usually only come inhere when they have done some training!!!!
