Snap! I could have written this. I feel like my body is starting to crack under pressure :eek: It's about damage limitation now, i will most likely be running with some discomfort on d-day, as long as it's not actual pain/agony that i can't run with. And of course i've made all sorts of resolutions with myself to focus on s&c in November/December :rolleyes: I'm being really good with doing the stretches and things Physio gave me as well. And i did squats twice yesterday and once so far today (brushing my teeth
)
So glad I am not alone
I feel the same that I will have discomfort on the day but I can keep going as long as it's not an injury
well done on getting them done, I keep forgetting to do the ones when brushing my teeth I have to stand on one foot to strengthen my ankles I will be stretching and foam rolling today! 0 -

Im in the same boat too TBH but pretending otherwise so not talking to much about it. Weak left glute and hip which really needs a break from running to fully sort. It leads to (manaegeable) pain in my shin and knee after 10 miles and settles down with rest. Im doing regular physio appointments to keep it in check. This is why Im only doing 3 runs a week and leaving a day in between for recovery. Im expecting discomfort on the day but think it will be manageable.Snap! I could have written this.

Yes i'd love that. I will let you all get through tomorrow first, we can chat again about the big day but i'd love to have others to meet beforehand. I don't really know Dublin at all, quite nervous of the whole logistics side of it to be honest. I will have a million questions when it gets closer
Sounds like there are a few of us starting with approximately the same time in mind and would certainly be lovely to have some company running too.leesider77 wrote: »No way we'll leave you hang on your own on D day Ariana. And I like a good post race party as well - I have a partner in crime on here as well who is likeminded so we'll be in good company ;-)
Oh I cannot wait for the after party! :-)0 -

That sounds great to me, as my hubby is faster than me and I will send him on so it will be nice to have some company and chatting makes the miles pass easier and quicker

All the girls seem to be similar and the lads all seem to be race horses if all this talk of 1:30 HM is anything to go by :eek: Bet we drink them under the table though at the after-party

Sounds like a challenge!
Jealous of you all doing the HM tomorrow. I've my 18 mile route planned and will be out doing that while you are all doing the race. Hoping for good weather for all of us.0 -

Hmm, think I'm going to review my target. Went for two miles easy there and decided not to monitor the watch.
Felt like I was running at a tiny bit quicker than LSR pace. Actually ran it at MP average, even allowing for a km uphill into a gust.
I know you can't learn much from such a short run but I
think I'm gonna go with the 1:40 pacers and either finish strong or die.
Win or learn.
Mistakenly thought 1:40 was 5min pace, just copped it's 4:45 which was my Fingal pace.
Should I still give it a bash or would I be stone crazy?
Maybe a more realistic target would be 1:45.0 -

Buzzing about this event, even though I won't be racing it.
Still undecided about what strategy to follow. Regardless, I'll be running near at least some of you. Light green singlet with blue trim, probably topped off with sandy coloured cap and shades :cool: Best of luck to all, just remember it's not the main thing 0
