Yes - and the first "I have been training all year for this race but forgot to enter it" post is expected at 17.03.
That would be me as i thought it was the 5th
my training was all over the place as i was tired with no energy. It turns out i have diabetes and when i was tired the best thing i could have done was actually run !
Anyway now aiming to finish and not a specific time. No gels as i have enough sugar in my blood !0 -

Hi , I entered the Dublin marathon sometime ago but recently fractured a bone in my foot which means I will not be able to participate,
I checked the website and it states you can’t claim a refund or transfer the number to someone else.
It just seems such a waste of money ? The price from Oct 3rd is €90 , I gladly give it to some one for say less then half of that,
Has anyone ever found themselves in this situation before?
Hard luck on the injury pdiddyw. I had to pull out 3 weeks before the race a few years ago due to a small pelvic fracture and unfortunately there's no comeback on your entry fee. I guess it would be very difficult to administer if lots of people simply changed their mind as the race approached.
Would you consider volunteering? I signed up to help register runners at the expo (once I stopped sobbing in self pity !) and it was fun. You can still be involved and it might get some good running karma in the bank

Hi guys, pretty new to Boards, but just checking, I did 20miles today, should I go up to 22 next week or keep at 20 or start going down in mileage?? Want to be fresh for the 31st, but obviously don't want to decrease mileage too soon?? It's my first marathon 0

4 stars (good)
Hi Bubblypinky. Firstly, well done on hitting your first 20! As to what you should do next week, it depends on what kind of training you've been doing to date. Maybe you could tell us what all your recent long runs have been, and what your typical weekly mileage is? Also, what's your plan? To complete the marathon or have a specific time-goal in mind?bubblypinky wrote: »Hi guys, pretty new to Boards, but just checking, I did 20miles today, should I go up to 22 next week or keep at 20 or start going down in mileage??

Looking at the calendar, you have one more long run before the traditional taper, so it might be worth repeating the 20 mile run next week, as a four week taper is just a little too long. If your marathon goal is to go out on a limb and reach a specific aggressive goal, then you could look at running to 21 miles next week. If your mileage is typically quite low, and your plan is just to finish, then perhaps you should set out next week with the plan to do 18 miles, and then run the extra two miles if you're still feeling very comfortable.0 -

Many thanks Krusty!!! I did 49miles total last week. I have been doing LSR on sat/sun, did 16mile last wk, 14 week before, decreasing by a mile a week then. Been training since June, but was injured 2wks in Aug :mad: During the week I usually start off with an 8mile, then maybe a 12/10mile, followed by day off then a tempo run. I felt good doing the 20 today, kinda started getting the legs-feeling-like-sandbags bout 16/17mile but took a gel and felt good finishing. Was only meant to do 18 today, but just felt able to hit the 20 so thought why not?? I did the half marathon in 1:55 and would love to finish DCM under 4:30.....we shall see!!!!0 -
