Hi folks have enjoyed reading the forum, doing Dublin for the first time. Did Cork as my first marathon in June, ran it in a time of 3.55 was delighted considering I didn't really train properly for it. Decided to step it up for Dublin and joined up with 2 lads as training partners. Training has been going well and my new revised target of 3.29.59 seemed achievable until last Thursday when I woke up with the dreaded flu, spent the whole weekend in bed shivering and generally feeling crap. Decided to go out Tuesday night and assess how bad the body was. Target was to do 1m warm up and 8x400m sprints, off course I could only manage 3. Absolutely devastating to my mental preparation. Starting to feel a bit better today but know my body is nowhere near 100%, can only hope my body recovers and adrenaline will get me through on the day. Best of luck to all.

Snap! Did Cork as my first this year in a similar time, and had the same goal on mind for Dublin. Was supposed to go out Tuesday morning but felt strangely tired. By the evening my chest was tight and head was pounding. Went out yesterday and instead of going easy did a 10x1 min hard, 1 min easy with warm up and cool down - against all advice. Didn't feel too good afterwards. Heads all over the place now becuase I'm missing workouts but I just keep telling myself the work is done and rest up. Night shifts this week aren't helping either. Or the phantom niggles. I'm trying to convince myself I'm not really sick and it's just taper madness!

Ran my first marathon in Frankfurt last year. This will be my second. I've had a good 3 months of solid training behind me. I'll be happy with a 3:2ish.

I might as well commit to my time goal at this stage.Although I'll still be happy with a PB, I ran Cork sensibly and conservatively and I think I've trained well enough for Dublin that my goal is achievable so I'm going to give it a shot. I'll be going out with the 3:30 pacers and just seeing how it goes.

Count yourself lucky you get to be on the list. Everywhere I look, here, Faceboook, or on the street, people are talking about DCM, and it's killing me a little inside that I'm not gonna be there

You're gonna love it, enjoy

This will be my third marathon. I did 2:48 in my debut last year in Stockholm and 2:46 in Rotterdam this spring. I believe that low 2:40 is possible if everything goes my way this time.

My sub 3 in 2013 is one of my favourite running memories. Hopefully can do the same this time around but with less vomiting on the finish line

I look forward to adding my name to that list next year, with a 2015 PB of 6:58:57 and a 2016 target time of 3:59:59

(I'll add my real target time after the weekend)

Hit the QUOTE button, then copy the previous entries exactly only with your own details, obviously. Remember to delete the opening and closing brackets. The ones with the QUOTE instruction in them. You can also delete any text that someone has added in the particular post you copy. Does that make any sense? Make sure also that you're copying the latest version of the table, or someone else's entries might disappear.

Hi all

I'd like to get your opinion on what time I should go for on 26th. This will be my 3rd DCM and hoping to achieve a sub 4.

Training has been going well and I've managed to get all the long runs in with one exception. I've done 1x16; 1x19 2x20 and 1x21 all between 10 and 10.50 pace (miles). I did the race series 10k in 47.xxmins and the half in 1.47.xx (both pbs and knocked around 9 mins off my last half pb).

I'm wondering should I head out with the 4 hr pacers or chance going out with the 3.50 group? My last DCM was 4.09 and the year before was 4.19

thanks

I would head out with the 4 hour pacers if I was you. The 1st half of DCM is slower than the second so if your feeling good after the first 10-15 miles you can start to pick things up slightly. There is no better feeling than passing people in the later stages of the race knowing that they are struggling much more than you. I hate having loads of people pass me in the 2nd half of a race as it makes it so much harder to keep going.

The 4 hour pacers tend to have the biggest group of followers which will make the early miles feel very comfortable if you like running in a group.

This is going on this weekend over on the Novices thread. Feel free to pop in and ask your own question(s). Question window will close Sunday night and Eliud and James will be on Monday to answer them. Good luck to everyone on the 26th, best of everything to you all!
