Dublin Marathon 2012 - 'Improvers' thread

alanking

planning (hoping) for a 3:20 this year. Had a disaster with cramp at last year DCM - finished in 4:05.

Things I'm doing different this year.
* Doing Easy runs 'easy' - trying to do 4-5m recovery runs at super slow pace.
* Taking a 'recovery shake' (2:1:1) after each intense run
* Doing a good mixture of runs during the week (tempos' / intervals / hills / LSR)
* Nutrition& Hydration - putting more emphasis on these - taking electrolytes before and after LSR and intensive workouts.

Overall have been injury free this year as a result - doing about 35-40 mpw at this stage.
Ran a 18m LSR last sat, finished strong and recovered very well - done a revcovery 3m next day and a 7m temp the day after.

Hoping for a 70m run in the upcoming 10mile race on Sat.

Best of luck to all.

Ran home from work last night (6.5 miles) No pain while running but iced and stretched afterwards just as precaution. Its still not 100% but its more of a niggle than an injury I would say. As long as I manage it I think it will be ok. Will probably schedule a physio visit soo aswell just to get a health check done on all niggles. I've developed a bit of a niggle in my left achilles now too which I need to mind. Never rains but in pours!

Going to go ahead with Frank Duffy Ten Mile at weekend but rather than race it hard this I will try and do it at PMP. That would still see me do a PB by about a minute:)

Good luck to anyone else running at the weekend. Maybe we'll bump into each other and not even realise it !

seanie_m|HH Inter 1|5|6|30mi|127.5mi|Was so happy with how this week was going, then for whatever reason my knee just gave up on me early on in tonights LSR, only managed to do half of it. Going to have to take a few days off I fear to let it recover. Aside from that though, was a good week

Van.Bosch|P&D - 55|5|5|45.38M|172.44M|Good Week, got through all the runs and enjoyed the 16M with 10 @PMP.
Mr.Wiggle|RunRepublic sub3.30|2|6|69km|109km| Fitting in runs before night shift is proving challenging.
Engrish? | Just run lots | 2 |2| 15 miles | 30 miles | Ok I guess. I had ignored how hard the extra weight would be. The runs were tough.

I'm updating as far as last Sunday. I am a lot slower than I was when I was lighter!

Hi Guys,

I’m training for my second Dublin Marathon this year and using the Hal Higdon Novice 2 Guide which suggests average 30/35 miles per week- 1 long run 3 shorter runs and a cross train session. I used this in 2010 and ran a time of 4:30 which I was happy at the time as an injury prevented training for 3 crucial weeks.

Anyway I hope to run this one in under 4 hours (3:59 would do!) and I think this is realistic as my half marathon times are under 1:50.

Yesterday I had an ad hoc chat with a running shop manager (he was big into the sport) and he mentioned that using this guide I wouldn’t achieve my time as it focuses on getting novice runners across the line only – in usually slower times than 4. He said that as the longest run is just 20m it doesn’t condition for improvement of times that much. Is this rubbish? And if so is there a different training plan that could produce better times?

Thanks

I'd say 'rubbish'.
1 - I used basically the same plan and ran 3.58 in my first marathon. I know other people have too.
2. Lot of marathon plans peak at 20 mile long run, not just the Higdon one.

That said, there are other plans available, that feature higher mileage each week (through the week, not ono the long run in particular) and a mix of different run types, so it's not like HH is the last word

jim0

DCM Goal = 3:59:59. Ran Berlin 2011 in 4:02 off the back of a completely ad hoc and unscientific training regime, then blew up in DCM 2011 due to an unscientific failure to do anything useful in between those events.

Hopefully P&D brings the science this year, and targets start being met for a change!

@engrish - you have to quote the most recent update by anybody on the table. You appear to have quoted the table from 3 weeks ago.

This is my second marathon - last year ran 4:10, but didn't really follow any plan. This year would love to hit 3:59:xx. Last two weeks have been tough, so I may have to re-evaluate my goal nearer the time. Good luck to everyone doing 10 miler tomorrow!

Been on hols so missed a week and 2 LSRs. Made the decision not to bring runners with me, Spain was very very hot so would have meant very early or very late runs and that kinda interferes with usual holiday activities based around eating, drinking and sleeping! So I will have to slot back in to Week 9 and see how the LSR goes on Sunday. Anyone planning a half Marathon and if so where?

Am due to do Great Scottish Run in Glasgow next weekend (Half Marathon) If I hadn't promised my brother and if my Mother and Sister were not travelling over (to do 10K) I wouldn't be doing any race this weekend as injury flared up a little after the Frank Duffy 10 mile last weekend. I know I shouldn't run but I must. I'd be happy to not do the Dublin half(which I'm registered for also) as long as I can get through this one. I know I am putting DCM at risk here if injury gets worse.

So the plan is to drop back a wave (or muster area as they call it) and run with my brother who has never done this distance before. I figure if I take it really handy and help my bro get through the race, I may just come through it without too much damage done.

Right, I'm in.

No plan yet, ran 4:28 last year, think I could go sub 4 this year but have a lot of work to do.

So far this year I've done Connemara Half in 1:42, Clontarf Half in 1:45, had a nightmare of a run in the Humbert Challenge Half Iron at 2:21:53.

Up to Connemara I was running 4-5 times a week but after that I added a lot of cycling ahead of a cycling holiday, Half Iron, Gael Force and a few Duathlons, need to concentrate on running again now and get back to the form I had in April.

I am hoping for a time about 3:50 to 3:59. I was aiming for 3:59 last year but I was gone after 26k and ended up at 4:15. I did get inside the 4 hours in Kildare in May though. So now, some days, I think I have to aim at 3:50, I have to feel I'm making progress, or at least trying to. And I don't want to be over ambitious and have it end in painful failure. Other days, when things are not going so well, I think I should just try to do 4 hours and try to enjoy the event.

I plan to run the half in the Park on Sept 15th. I will do a mini one week taper for that.

4|Mike D|HH Inter 1|7|5|36m|195.1m|Missed my cross session again this week! Found the 14m lsr tough today but good to get through another week.
5|beeduybe|P&D:33-55|9|4|41m|380m|A few easy paced runs followed by a 20 miles Friday morning. I can enjoy my holidays now :cool:
6|Lizzy C|P&D -33-55|9|3|30.02m|320.64m|Lowest mileage week due to tiredness/lack of motivation etc etc. At least my foot injury seems to have recovered as a result. 10mile race went well enough though:)
7|Skidrow|HH inter1|9|3|18m|235m|Two 4m easy runs this week, took it very handy in order to give Frank Duffy 10m a good lash. Race day was warm, very tough 2nd half, but thrilled with PB of 1:21:47, 53secs off last year!
8|Younganne|Ecolis plan|9|3|14.96m|231.89m| only 3 runs done, missed Frank Duffy 10m...very frustrating not being able to follow plan properly:mad:|
9|run44|HH inter1||5|27m|62mm|Happy to get 5 in this week
10|D Chief|P&D -55|9|5|76.6km|647.5km|I was away at the back end of the week, a couple of late nights. I still got my runs done, but was very tired for the 26k MP run on Sunday morning. Did ok though considering.
11|Sideline warrior|HH Inter 1|5|5|28.5m|135.9m|Avg pace this week was 8.03 so am going to make concerted effort to slow down on the longer runs. Seems to be best practice. Am in France next week for 2 weeks and am concerned that due to heat it will be tough to get in runs especially LSRs. Will try early morning runs but am not an early runner!
12|seanie_m|HH Inter 1|5|6|30mi|127.5mi|Was so happy with how this week was going, then for whatever reason my knee just gave up on me early on in tonights LSR, only managed to do half of it. Going to have to take a few days off I fear to let it recover. Aside from that though, was a good week
13|doledude86|HH Inter 2|5|6|30m|155m|step back week this week
14|irfrm|runners world|7|5|39 m|220m|good week, missed one run but got a good LSR 18 miles and felt good after, end of racing for a few weeks to concentrate on training.
15|shels4ever|just run||9|50|50|Just lots of easy runs last week. Head not in the log runs jsut yet but hope to get to grips with them soon.
16|jester1980|HH IINT 1|7|5|51km|273.5|Forgotto update last week. Lsr of 15 miles on sunday which went well. Having somone to train with is making life alot easier than when i did on my own before.
17|Van.Bosch|P&D - 55|5|5|45.38M|172.44M|Good Week, got through all the runs and enjoyed the 16M with 10 @PMP.
18|Mr.Wiggle|RunRepublic sub3.30|6|4|68km|367.5km| Missed mondays easy run so added it onto tuesdays tempo run as an extra warm up and warm down. Struggling again with runs around night shift pattern - 18m LSR after work @6am was nice though, beautiful quiet countryside in lovely morning sunshine.

Only ran once this week since last weekends Frank Duffy ten mile. Resting injury. Did 5 miles last night and felt ok while running.Its when I'm not running that it bothers me more...strange.

Had a sports massage on thursday and had some bruising afterwards..hope thats good bruising and not bad bruising if you get my drift?

Anyway the big risk is that I'm off to Glasgow today. half marathon (Great Scottish Run ) in the morning. Contrary to previous posts have now decided to at least see can I break 2 hrs..injury or not...Did 2:03 in CLontarf half in July.

Wish me luck! Hopefully I can come through it unscathed and DCM chances not totally wrecked! Race report could be an interesting read.:eek:

Good luck with LSRs this weekend particularly the HHInter1 club!

Best of luck Red.;)

Are there pacers in the Great Scottish Run ? If so, maybe tuck in with the 2hr bunch. You will get great support and you will fly through the miles.:)

17m LSR went well today. Had to take gel at 15m as the legs were starting tio fall off. Last 2 miles were grand.

The good news is that you were probably finished the run by the time the gel kicked in! They take time to absorb so you ran the whole thing on your own steam - you're stronger than you thought you were:)
