    Fame at last :pac:

    lesson of the day is, if things go pear shaped like that, trust yourself - or latch onto a pacing group :)

    Well-earned notoriety. I would have linked it properly if I knew how.

    My coping strategy in Dublin would involve pacers or, failing that, asking others what they're pacing. Language shouldn't be as much of an issue as in Berlin.;)

    S'pose a pacing band wouldn't hurt, for something interesting to look at on my arm

    Couple of things have been bothering me:

    1. They are giving out free flu vaccines in work on the 17th would you get one so close to the marathon?

    ##Warning Toilet related Questions##
    2. I can't seem to make it through a 20 mile run without going for a pee. I would prefer not to pee during the marathon if possible. How much do people drinkbefore a race and when do you stop drinking.

    ##Warning More Toilet related Questions##
    3. I normal have a pint of water and a coffee about an hour an 1/2 before a long run. Is the coffee a good Idea? I mainly take it to help do a number 2 before leaving the house. It’s not for the stimulant effect or anything.

    4. 1000 mile socks are they worth the money?

    5. Is this just a gimick? https://www.thestick.com/

    I certainly wouldn't risk it

    2. I can't seem to make it through a 20 mile run without going for a pee. I would prefer not to pee during the marathon if possible. How much do people drinkbefore a race and when do you stop drinking.

    It's all very personal but I Generally drink loads the day before the race but very little on the morning of the race (coffee and maybe a sip of water/juice 3hrs before the race). You should be still well hydrated from the day before. Drink water from the first water station to stay hydrated. If you have to stop to pee you are obviously drinking too much one way or another....

    ##Warning More Toilet related Questions##
    3. I normal have a pint of water and a coffee. Is the coffee a good Idea? I mainlytake it to help do a number 2 before leaving the house. It’s not for the stimulanteffect or anything.

    I'm the same as you about the coffee but the pint of water is probably not necessary, especially if it means you end up having to pee

    4. 1000 mile socks are they worth the money?

    Dunno, depends on if you get blisters or not. everyone is different. I am happy with lidl socks myself

    5. Is this just a gimick? https://www.thestick.com/
    It's pretty good especially if you get a lot of knots in your legs (especially the calfs. If you do not get tight legs/ calfs it is probably not worth it

    Re Flu Vaccine:
    I had the same issue last year and I had the vaccine a week before DCM. Didn't suffer any ill effects.
    But everybody is different!

    Re 100 Mile Socks: I've never had a blister with them so I would recommend them. Use them mostly for the longer runs.

    I'd not do it!

    I'd have 250-300ml over a couple of hours. Always go loo 10 mins before hand and had to stop in Ph Park trees last year!

    I have coffee as well, helps with the 'movement'

    4. 1000 mile socks are they worth the money?

    I have 3 pair, always use them on runs over 10 miles. Got blisters before, but not since the 1000m socks

    5. Is this just a gimick?

    Seems to be very useful, don't have one, but always hear good things.

    5. Is this just a gimick?

    I have really tight calfs (or is it calves?!) and bought a stick one week for 50 euro after spending 100 euro the week before in the physio. I find it great, I use it nearly every day and haven't had any problems since, so if you have tight calfs, I would definitely recommend getting one.

    bang on, on both fronts - get a pacing band and in Dublin there will be loads of folks around to help with time - but stick with a pacing group if you can, more craic :)

    Re: the stick - amazing, a brilliant tool for giving your legs [or back!] a once over after a hard session. I have been known to bring it with me travelling with work...

    22 mile turned into 22.3m :-) on a very cold morning!

    Didn't want to be doing loops of the Ph Park again - as much as I love the park, right on my doorstep. I also wanted to do some pounding on hard concrete to get the legs used to it for DCM.

    Ran 1st 11m up around Blanchardstown/Ongar - then down to Ph Park. Was a cold morning, so took a while to warm up!
    I didn't feel like I was firing on all cylinders - put it down to milage as this week was my heaviest week (53m/85km)

    2nd 11 miles were around the park, I wanted to do as many of these at PMP'ish but not push it on the hills.
    Made 7 of the 11 miles in and around PMP (7:40 - ok, some were 7:50ish) - including a 7:16 mile at mile 19 (got a bit carried away).
    Slowest mile was a 9:45 as I walked a bit while taking a gel going up Chesterfield ave. The walk break done me the world of good.
    Overall 22.3 miles in 3:02 - ave pace 8:09. Only took 2 gels and I felt it during the run.

    Delighted with that work out - gave me great confidence on tired legs. Not feeling too bad afterwards either.

    Roll on a 3:20 finish on the 29th.

    As has already been mentioned Ray is a serious animal but don't forget his Pacing buddy TFbubendorfer who managed to come second in the Irish 24hr championships this year with almost 130 miles covered in that time. The only man to beat him that day (wounded knee) is the two times Irish champion and pacing 3:30. I think he would normally pace faster but having placed highly in the recent world 24hr championships with 230km (145 miles) he is likely still recovering.

    Finally for those targetting 4hrs; Ruthann S in the same world 24hr champs broke the irish female record by 17km to finish just a few hundred metres behind wounded knee with 229km covered. To put that in perspective that is running 4:15 marathon pace for 24 hours continuously. Some serious talent amongst the pacers this year (and a few plodders like myself :p)

    Just back from my 20 mile LSR. Was a strange enough one in that I was feeling tired before I even set foot out side the door and was feeling a few different aches and pains.

    Once I got running the first few miles felt a bit lethargic but then got into a comfortable rhythm. Throughout the run was feeling every niggle known to the running man/woman...soreness in ITB which subsided,sore left achilles, which has been an ongoing one. Soreness at top of foot (where lacing is on bone of foot..not sure what you call it), the occasional shooting pain in sole of foot, tightness in hamstring. None of these individually were a hutge concern but collectively I was thinking what a crock I am! Is this normal? Are other people experiencing this multiple niggle syndrome:) too?

    Tried two new gels today, the GU Mint Choc and the High 5 ISOgel+(with caffeine) I found both of them effective and neither upset my stomach in anyway.Took the mint choc at Mile 6 and the others at 12 and 17 miles. IN between I had the odd sports jelly bean. All in all that strategy seemed to serve me well. Had a drinks belt with 3 x 170ml bottles, 2 with water and 1 with Centra Sports isotonic drink.

    I was quite happy with my splits (see below)
    At mile 2 I was waiting at Train Crossing

    1 9:14
    2 11:07
    3 10:28
    4 10:19
    5 10:20
    6 10:06
    7 9:55
    8 9:55
    9 10:21
    10 10:08
    11 10:14
    12 10:09
    13 10:19
    14 9:52
    15 9:52
    16 9:51
    17 10:17
    18 10:13
    19 10:01
    20 9:57


    Assuming next few weeks training go well I think my target of 4:15 is achievable.[/SIZE][/FONT]

    2|Micilín Muc|P&D:55-70|14|7|113.04km|1397.93km|Ran on revised paces - a good bit quicker than before. Midweek long runs were fine. Ran with RunningKing on Saturday for a 18-mile LSR with 14 PMP - very difficult towards the end. I had very little sleep, and had no gels so it's hard to tell if my revised goal of a sub 3:15-marathon was too much. It's not like me to be indecisive so this is wrecking my head!
    3|RedRunner|HH Inter 1|14|4|32.71m|332.04m| Missed two midweek runs due to bad cold but good recovery at end of week to get back into swing of it.
    4|Mike D|HH Inter 1|14|5|33m|375.1m|Got all my runs in this week. Step back week so tookit relatively easy. Looking forward to the second and final 20miler on Sunday:D
    5|beeduybe|P&D:33-55|14|6|60m|623m|Completed my biggest mileage week ever with a unofficial 10k PB and a strong finish to a tough 17 miler the following day :)
    6|Lizzy C|P&D -33-55|14|5|51.59m|539.90m|Had a good week this week. P&D called for a tune-up race, and as there was none on, I just did 10k in the park and managed a PB! (surprisingly, I chose a very flat course though :rolleyes:) LSR of 22 with some splendid company! It was tough, but got there in the end!
    7|Skidrow|HH inter1|14|5|39m|404m|Good week, 2nd half of DCM route as LSR @10.15min pace went well today with RedRunner, thanks for the company.
    8|Younganne|Ecolis plan|14|6|46.44|397.89|tough 18m LSR done today with 9 @ MP (nearly):o highest mileage week for me and highest mileage month @170m for the month!|

    10|D Chief|P&D -55|14|3|54.9km|933.7km|Sore right foot/ankle caused me some problems this week. Did 3 runs, including a 30k with 23k at PMP. I don't think it is any more than a niggle and it does seem to be improving.
    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|13|6|40m|386.70m|Havent updated properly in ages, last 20mile done yesterday!! End up doing 3!
    14|irfrm|runners world|12|5|45 m|428m| Good week, all runs done, very enjoyable LSR 22 miles 8:20 pace. Cork to Cobh next Sunday.
    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|12|4|63km|511.5|20 MIle run done on sat at a nice slow pace 9.30 min miles. Shoulder gave me little grief this week which is good, had physio and accupunture on it.
    17|Van.Bosch|P&D - 55|14|5|52.21M|499M|Good Week, happy enough with progress. Got 17 Miles done @PMP
    18|Mr.Wiggle|RunRepublic sub3.30|11|4|52km|661km| Another week with weekend nite shift getting in the way of 20m LSR. Doing it tom. morning and pushing plan out by a day ... injury here I come ! :o
    19|RedB|Part P&D55 & now coach plan|5|5|37M|517M|Recovery Week. Nothing to report. Easy running.
    20|Trigger26 |Club coach sub 3.30|15|6|52M|505M|Happy out, got over the 50miles mark in a week and did all the sessions as planned, I need a massage!
    21|Jim0 |P&D - 55|14|4|74.83km|966.43km|Did the Eco2Run in Dublin Port as an "assisted PMP 20-miler" on Sunday, slightly above and beyond what P&D required but seems to have been worth it. Still happy with things, looking forward to taper after this week.
    22|engrish?|Build fitnes, build speed|2|2|31m|98m|Hurt my back getting out of bed a week ago so no runs for a few more days...
    23|Runningking|Run Republic|11|5|50m|603m|Last weeks long run on a Sunday threw my week out a bit. Kept the intervals on Tuesday and a 12m tempo on Wed - felt tight hamstrings as a result. 20m LSR on Sat at 7:57(ave mile) - 8 of these were at MP.


    Very good week with good LSR 22 miles on Saturday, highest monthly. Cork to Cobh next Sunday plan is to run last 12 miles at MP.

    I know what you mean about the niggles...felt a fair few myself today, worst one being left heel, could be heel spur. Other than that, I was happy with the 20 mile run. Left at about 7.30am with only a banana for breakfast - I brought some glucose sweets (4) and a gel with me and a bottle of water. Ended up not taking the gel as I thought I would see what it would be like without one - it was ok as it turned out! Will still use them for the DCM though. Average pace was 9.47 per mile although I was trying to pace at 10min miles - still find that difficult.
    Definitely feel the benefit of the HH1 program, much more stamina than previous years. So, bring on the taper!! Count down is on!

    10|D Chief|P&D -55|14|3|54.9km|933.7km|Sore right foot/ankle caused me some problems this week. Did 3 runs, including a 30k with 23k at PMP. I don't think it is any more than a niggle and it does seem to be improving.
    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

    14|irfrm|runners world|12|5|45 m|428m| Good week, all runs done, very enjoyable LSR 22 miles 8:20 pace. Cork to Cobh next Sunday.

    16|jester1980|HH IINT 1|12|4|63km|511.5|20 MIle run done on sat at a nice slow pace 9.30 min miles. Shoulder gave me little grief this week which is good, had physio and accupunture on it.
    17|Van.Bosch|P&D - 55|14|5|52.21M|499M|Good Week, happy enough with progress. Got 17 Miles done @PMP
    18|Mr.Wiggle|RunRepublic sub3.30|11|4|52km|661km| Another week with weekend nite shift getting in the way of 20m LSR. Doing it tom. morning and pushing plan out by a day ... injury here I come ! :o
    19|RedB|Part P&D55 & now coach plan|5|5|37M|517M|Recovery Week. Nothing to report. Easy running.
    20|Trigger26 |Club coach sub 3.30|15|6|52M|505M|Happy out, got over the 50miles mark in a week and did all the sessions as planned, I need a massage!
    21|Jim0 |P&D - 55|14|4|74.83km|966.43km|Did the Eco2Run in Dublin Port as an "assisted PMP 20-miler" on Sunday, slightly above and beyond what P&D required but seems to have been worth it. Still happy with things, looking forward to taper after this week.

    23|Runningking|Run Republic|11|5|50m|603m|Last weeks long run on a Sunday threw my week out a bit. Kept the intervals on Tuesday and a 12m tempo on Wed - felt tight hamstrings as a result. 20m LSR on Sat at 7:57(ave mile) - 8 of these were at MP.

    2|Micilín Muc|P&D:55-70|14|7|113.04km|1397.93km|Ran on revised paces - a good bit quicker than before. Midweek long runs were fine. Ran with RunningKing on Saturday for a 18-mile LSR with 14 PMP - very difficult towards the end. I had very little sleep, and had no gels so it's hard to tell if my revised goal of a sub 3:15-marathon was too much. It's not like me to be indecisive so this is wrecking my head!

    Tonight's 32km couldn't end soon enough - mainly because that signals the start of the taper. Bone tired and will be glad to wind down over the coming weeks...

    ... but also pretty impatient for the main event. After being barely able to shift myself all summer, have been surprising myself with a lot of pre-work trainingactivity last week. The excitement is clearly getting to me.

    Slight hamstring strain yesterday while doing Cork to Cobh, sharp pains but loosen out after 3 miles and finished the 12 miles at MP. Pyhsio this week and may need a few days rest, hard work done so hopfully everything will be ok.

Ran with RunningKing on Saturday for a 18-mile LSR with 14 PMP - very difficult towards the end. I had very little sleep, and had no gels so it's hard to tell if my revised goal of a sub 3:15-marathon was too much. It's not like me to be indecisive so this is wrecking my head!

    Did the Athlone 3/4 marathon yesterday in a time of 2.46.25 so delighted with that. Going to reevaluate my 4 hour goal and go for 3.45 in the big one.

    Felt comfortable at that pace yesterday apart from the shoulder injury but its improving all of the time

    Unless you expect to slow down significantly over the last 1/4; 3:45 looks like an extremely soft target IMO.

    However if you are happy to just get a solid marathon under your belt without risking a blow up, then welcome to the 3:45 train :D

    Hey

    I think my splits yesterday were 55 1st QTR, 54 2nd Qtr and 57 3rd Qtr which is 2.46, so if i do another 57 mins on last Qtr that would be about 3.43. Cant see myself getting faster for the last Qtr. What you think?

    Maybe slow down the first quarter, 58, second one 57 mins, third quarter 57 again and then all out guns and see what happens. Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right!!!

    Completed Athlone yesterday in 2:52 and was delighted with that. I know it was scheduled to be an LSR but after falling apart last year at mile 14 despite training I always had this race in mind as a test to see how I could get on.

    Aimed to go at a steady 8:50 pace, which I did, some miles fell to 8:35 and 1 or 2 jumped to 8:58 or something similar which given the hills I'm happy with. Finished with an average pace of 8:46 and felt strong and felt another 6 would be fine. It was a real confidence boost and coupled with the 1:42:30 half I should be all set for sub 4. I'm going to go out at 8:50-8:55 and hopefully finish in 3:53 or so.

    I suppose based on the half time some would say its a soft target but after two sub 4 attempts I'm going to stick to the plan and taper now and be fresh in 3 weeks.

    Does this make sense or can anyone see any issues with that plan?

    Does this make sense or can anyone see any issues with that plan?

    I'm far from a marathon expert and this year will only be my second one but it sounds like a pretty good plan to me if you will be happy with any time under 4 hours. If you're still going well in the closing stages you could push on and even go sub 3:50.

    2|Micilín Muc|P&D:55-70|14|7|113.04km|1397.93km|Ran on revised paces - a good bit quicker than before. Midweek long runs were fine. Ran with RunningKing on Saturday for a 18-mile LSR with 14 PMP - very difficult towards the end. I had very little sleep, and had no gels so it's hard to tell if my revised goal of a sub 3:15-marathon was too much. It's not like me to be indecisive so this is wrecking my head!
    3|RedRunner|HH Inter 1|15|5|42.52m|374.56m| First full week since Wk 5 on plan. Good to get another 20 miler in!
    4|Mike D|HH Inter 1|15|5|44m|419.1m|Got all my runs in this week. Good 20mile LSR today without Gels. Swim tomorrow:)

    7|Skidrow|HH inter1|14|5|39m|404m|Good week, 2nd half of DCM route as LSR @10.15min pace went well today with RedRunner, thanks for the company.

    10|D Chief|P&D -55|14|3|54.9km|933.7km|Sore right foot/ankle caused me some problems this week. Did 3 runs, including a 30k with 23k at PMP. I don't think it is any more than a niggle and it does seem to be improving.
    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.

    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

    Thought I'd remove my name from the list, consdering I haven't updated it in a few months now.

    Had an injury that stopped me from training for 6-8 weeks, and I have been doing far fewer miles per week since I got back to training (about 2/3 weeks ago now). Longest run to date was a 15 miler, which I did at the Eco2Run just about 10 days ago (1hr 49), and I have no plans to go any further than that before the race itself.
    Am I being stupid considering running?

    go for it, just give yourself a sensible target and maybe switch to walk a mile, run a mile , after 15 miles? It'd be a shame to miss all the fun!

    Done 4m last night, didn't feel comfortable due to 'ache' on inside of thigh. (Groin?). Have it strapped up now, will rest it til wed/Thur then see if I need physio. Not so much a pain, as I could run on it..........right now putting it down to a tough high week last week and a tough 22m. It's funny and slightly obscene trying to get at it with a foam roller.

    Yasso 800s

    In trying to determine my marathon pace I looked up the internet and came across these Yasso 800 workouts.This is a workout developed by Bart Yasso. It supposedly allows you to predict the time that you are capable of running a marathon. If you want to run a 3:30 marathon, train to run a session of 800s in 3:30 each. Between the 800s, jog for the same number of minutes it took you to run your repeats.

    So today I gave this a go,10 repeats of 800m in under 3.15 minutes, you're supposed to rest 3.15 minutes in between each 800m but I found that too long and did 1.45s instead. I completed them and was happy enough but I just don't feel this is a reliable guide. If anything it is a good negative predictor letting you know you can't run a certain time. Anyone else ever give this workout a go and found it useful?
