Any advice on a place to eat the night before the marathon? Haven't been to Cork since I was a student and obviously my nutrition priorities are very different now. Anywhere in the city centre would be great. I'm sure there will be plenty of restaurants catering to the marathon runners!

A rice dish in Wagamama with an extra side of rice.

most places will have some decent pasta or rice dishes, just make sure not to try anything you've never had before, the night before a marathon is not the time for experimentation

I regularly eat in Ramen the day before my long run. Lots of healthy noodles and rice dishes to choose from, cooked to order. It is on Angelsea St, and at Dennehys Cross. Chilli Padi on Fr Matthew St does similiar Asian street food, all healthy made to order.

Hopeful too, but sure ya have to give it a go from the gun.

Murph_D

Might be a good idea to have two tables!

Still not entirely convinced I can achieve this. I ran 66.26 for Ballycotton and thats the last longish race I've done. 25.09 for the Cheetah run last night which was very enjoyable but its hard to gauge marathon fitness from such a short race. If conditions on the day aren't great I might fall back to my B target of sub 3.20 so I'll probably change my target a dozen more times before the race.

oh yes, well if conditions are not ideal then I think we will all be adjusting goals, it's only fair to assume that.

I think I may have knocked Forrest off the previous table by mistake. Hope this one's ok.

It would only be a 2 1/2 minute PB, how hard can that be after another year's worth of training...

This all depends on whether or not the sharp pain I felt just behind the ball of my left foot near my big toe this evening develops into something serious or not. Which in my limited experience it usually does.

Hopefully just some early taper madness, HBS.

I wanted to wait till I had my last proper PMP session in the bag before I wrote the time down I'll certainly be revising that time if it's very warm. Way too used to cold and windy !

Hi all,
does anybody know where I could find a running belt for my gel in Cork? Will there be stalls with gears for sale at registration time like in Dublin?

I can't source one around me. I know I am leaving it a bit late, but just decided not carry my own water IF it is not sunny nor warm.

the edge sports or john buckleys. you could also borrow one of a running friend, if i had one i would give you a running belt ....... (but i don't). i usually just shove them in my shorts pockets. if the weather stays like it is at the mo you will be fine, overcast and a bit blustery

Any tips on easy places to watch. Parents (elderly) live in Bishopstown and will have my young kids with them, obviously the junction of Melbourn Road & Model Farm Road, where else would be easy for them to drive to and get back to this point to support me? Would Mahon be an option or will it be mad around there? Thanks
