Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
Having suggested that Sandra gets a calendar, I clearly need to do so too!
Will see you at the meeting on the 3rd!

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
I've entered (reluctantly) ! No sure I can make this Wednesday though but definately count me in for marathon group training.

 Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
I have just entered Dublin. I have optimistically entered the 'sub 3.30' category even though my fastest ever time is 3.36, and for almost all the last 6 or so marathons have been between 3.36 and 3.38.
I have put my faith in our training group to get faster

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
btw I cannot master these smileys. My last one was supposed to be after an exclaimation mark on the final sentence. No exclaimation mark and the smiley was in the wrong place. I need IT as well as marathon training!

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
Saw the physio recommended by Richard this morning and have patella tendonitis  so off running for a while. Could be fixed in c. 3 weeks so hopefully will not fall too far behind with the training....
Good luck everyone else and see you soon!
Peter

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
That's a bit scary, Richard - putting your faith in the training group, I mean! 
Good luck with the knee, Peter. Hope to see you back soon.
As for me, I've just been warned by the physiotherapist what I guess I already knew - that running long distances isn't good for my back! Guess the longer runs could become bike rides!

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
Peter, sorry to hear you are out for a few weeks. At least it seems that it wont take long to sort, and the marathon programmes are designed to include a few injury weeks.
That physio is very good - just make sure you stretch loads (if asked to) as he gets a bit 'arsey' if he thinks you haven't been doing them enough.
I expect he told you, but if you are cross training dont do the breast stroke, as it puts a lot of pressure on the knees. Crawl is ok.
Good luck, Richard

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
Sorry to hear that Pete. However, even with a few weeks off you will probably still be faster than me!!!!

Re: New Forest Marathon 2009
Talking about knees, mine seem to have got better since Wednesday session, although that could be because my leg muscles are aching so much I cant feel my knee pain!
