Do nothing new on race day.
If you're in the habit of eating carbs before a long run, or have tried taking a gel halfway through, fine, do that tomorrow. But it's not a day to experiment, it's not a good time to find that, actually, eating carbs just before you run makes you want to throw up.

I read that carbo hydrates should typically be consumed 15 mn before the race and 45 mn in the race.

What do you recommand: isogel?

Thanks

Have a nice Carbhydrate rich meal the night before and eat your normal breakfast a few hours before the race.
You don't need to do anything else.
The body stores enough glycogen naturally to last 10 miles.
Double the distance and you might have to worry about taking on gels during the race.

Get all your race kit ready - number on your top, socks and runners - this evening.
Follow your normal pre-run routine in the morning, eating the same foods as usual.
Leave yourself plenty of time to get there.
Join the correct wave
Don't get carried away at the start, take it nice and easy.
Smile for the cameras

Last year had 1681 finishing in less than 1:25:00 out of 4902 finishers. Sub 85 sounds about right

Not sure if this will paste ok but based on times quoted so far this is what the boards finishing order would look like (subject to error).

I've just had my porridge and I'm starting to feel a bit jittery now! My only aim is to get around with a smile on my face - I just hope I've learned enough from the mistakes of last year.

Good Luck everyone!

Gave the race 5 stars, couldn't fault it. A very fair course, great weather what more would you want. Well done race series.

Well I'm home with a cup of tea - I had a great run and enjoyed every step so I'm over the moon! The weather was fab and I liked the course - definitely the nicest course I've ever run in the park as I didn't notice any hills apart from the sharp rise up acres road at the end - and that was very short.

The T-shirt is nice and I got some tasty goodies in my bag to dip into my tea so I'm a happy bunny! Thanks to the organisers and all the volunteers.

Lovely day for it, if maybe a bit too warm for running. Congestion was a big issue for me, first mile was 1.30 slower than expected starting halfway back in wave 1. Which should have been right form expected time. Was expecting that though, bigger issue form me was mile 6, turn on to narrow path and loads of people seemed to be struggling and started walking and/or moving very slowly, but were still happy to stay in the middle of the path. Not ideal to be dodging in and out of people all the way along that section.

Still not much organisers can do about people ignoring their instructions. I thought it was really well organised. Only issue was the late start (PA problem/failure?) and the water stations not being where I thought they would be based on race info. Probably justnmissed the change. Wouldn't have noticed except it was so hot.

Enjoyable day all in all and their is a great athmosphere about the race series, which the big numbers add to it, you have to take the downsides with that.

Ran 3 or 4 mins slower than I'd have liked, but blaming that on the congestion, heat, wind, up and down course, any other excuses going?? Few people finishing around me seemed to be down a bit on expected times and a lot finding it very tough in last 5 miles, I thought I must have been going way faster in second half, but was just holding steady and everyone seemed to be going backward fast.

Saw someone fall on a speed bump in mile 2 and a few people go to pieces in mile 9 but all seemed minor enough.

Finished in 75:02.... I had predicted 79:59 so delighted with that! I stuck to my tactic from the 5 miler of starting at the front of wave 2. Gave me an open road for the first mile and by the time I caught wave 1 it was well spread out and not too hard to weave through! Great day overall. Well done to everyone who completed it!

paulb79

finished in 71:10 had aimed for 74:59 so happy enough, really enjoyed the course didnt seem as overcrowded as the five miler well done to all involved

DublinDilbert

Finished in 76:30, so slightly faster than my predicted 78:00. Happy enough, was a lovely morning in the park. There was a good bit of congestion at the start, but I think I may have started a bit far back...

Predicted 84:30 finished it in around 75:15, given I have never run further than 10km before I am well chuffed with this, I set a 10km PB en route too! Bit of congestion starting in the middle of wave 1, some people in there who would be lucky to run it in sub 2 hours :rolleyes: probably cost me 30 secs odd, but all in all a great event and ecstatic with my 1st ever proper running race.

Congestion Bad (Better than 5 mile)
Weather good (Nice breeze at times)
New PB for me despite the app on my phone not working properly (New HTC Sensation Anyone using a good running app for that)

Organisers were great. Looking forward to Half marathon.

84:XX, waiting on chip time but happy out, never broke 92 before today and had 98 mins in a nightmare last year.

Excellent organization and savage weather, as with each of the 5 Frank Duffy races I've done up to now.

WHIP IT!

Finished in 82:44 - had predicted 85:00 after the 5-Mile but revised that to 83:00 this week after a strong workout on Tuesday.

I'm very disappointed with how I ran the race though. Was logging 8-minute miles for the first six miles which was just crazy & I knew it. But, like a fat kid with cake - I just couldnt stop myself!

I struggled home the last 3 miles with my last mile being my slowest of all (9mins) so although I'm delighted to have ran my first 10-miler, I'm annoyed with that lack of discipline.

Really enjoyed the day & would like to thank all organisers & volunteers alike.

1:36 for me. Bit slow by my own standards but I was surprised I made it around tbh. I hurt my ITB on Wednesday and had to stretch the hell out of it the last few days to make the run. Still a tad sore, and I had stitches from start to finish (which I never ever get!) so that didn't help.

Other than that, the course was nice, and the distance was pretty much bang on according to my GPS. Hills weren't bad. Bit of congestion as mentioned, and it was a bit annoying having to overtake so many people at mile five, but that's no new thing really.

Thumbs up from me
