I heard from Digger that hes only like that to our faces...
He said TRR thinks everyone on the log is a dipstickDigger is always misrepresenting me. I call you a shower of dickheads not dipsticks
I believe the phrase actually used was ''TRR thinks everyone calls his log a dickstick'':D 0 -

Have a look a 2 pics attached. First is DCM novice, second is DCM more experienced runner. Which of those two do you think drank more beer while training for those respective marathons. Which one do you think ran more miles in that marathon training cycle?
I'd go back to the 4 nights a week in the pub if I were you.... You didn't finish your races with a load of gob on your face back then 0 -

Ha feck off just because I drink beer doesn't make me a good guy. I actually know the point kurt was trying to make but it has got mixed up here and maybe wasn't the best place to try and get it across as there are a couple of arguments in full flow now. In essence he is saying any beer swilling boyo can run/walk/complete a marathon. However if you want to push on and improve you need to up the mileage and maybe not drink as much beer.

I can't believe all the people thanking TRR after him calling them all Dickheads

I see what you did there
Ha, you're wise to me alright! Ive read the last few pages with interest I have to say. I really value when the experienced heads come in and give their tuppenceworth as the advice is always helpful for someone like me who is approaching his one year running anniversary, I always try to take a mental note of what they say because basically anything I know about this sport has mostly come from here. As for the "tactless" comments, they're mostly just anonymous usernames to me anyway and its a public forum so if I don't like what they say can I can ignore them, the internet isn't such a serious business to me, I kinda enjoy the bit of slagging too I have to say!
Moving on, I've a 48 mile week ahead so looking forward to getting stuck in tonight, hoping the legs loosen up ok after a tough 20 miler for me on Saturday. What's everyone else's week looking like?0 -

But stick with it, it works, I went sub 3 after changing from hh style plans. No need to give up the beer though. It's character building doing a LSR with a hangover, that was a key session for me! That said, the fitter you get, the worse the hangovers get, so you tend to try and avoid them.
I agree with earlier post that mentioned people could be tired so soon after another marathon rather than P&D being difficult. There's no way I could do another P&D program for least a few months. E
Thanks for the advice, was planning on heading into P&D pretty much straight after Limerick.
I may hold off for a couple of weeks, I want to try to build a strength & conditioning side to the training so may start with that and perhaps spend 6 weeks or so on shorter sharper sessions with a view to maybe getting a bit faster

46 miles ahead for me - up on last week. This week will be difficult as I'm heading away for Easter so will have to do it in unfamiliar routes around hilly Clonakilty & west Cork. I've another 20m lsr this week after just doing one yesterday!
I think I may drop my pace a bit in order to get through the week rather than attempt it, get wrecked and skip runs as a result.
The week away is being spent with family, my mother in law and two spinster Aunts, one 64 and one 93! I may actually be better off staying out running as long as possible!
Wealthy spinster aunts????
No wonder you are willing to run on foreign ground 0 -

6am V02 session done, easy running for the rest of the week until race day on Saturday
As for Kurt & co. they can come back here any time, that was some craic I like to believe the conversation went something like this:
Meno to Kurt: Kurt, I'm a bit worried about last year's novice group, they're all too busy encouraging and supporting each other, but they need to learn what its really like, can you go in there and teach them a bit of HTFU?
Kurt to Meno: no probs some of them are starting a taper, I'll use that angle
To be fair, points made have been taken on board. Think I'll have a crack at the full recommended P&D taper, sure if I fall asleep at the start line I will have someone to blame
