Couch to 5km BBS style

That's mint. Well in.

Make sure you're not just doing more and more each week. Have a few weeks of keeping the same distance but upping pace, adding more climbs etc. Marathon not a sprint and all that.

I joined Barnsley Harriers and that made a massive difference to me too.

 

I worry that i might make you run faster if I'm at the back shouting to you with my bad jokes and wind ups

 

We’ll look to have a deload week too……the hills we’ve done this last few week bring a tear to my eye thinking about them

 

I’ve had 30 year of them

 

I did a good deload earlier.

 

Hopefully 30 more pal

 

Ffs

 

I’ll hold you to that pal

 

I've done three half marathons in the last 3 weeks. I can only seem to motivate myself to run fast when I am in a proper race. 4th one coming up this Sunday. Previously done marathons and ultras but my body recovers much better from the shorter stuff, so have decided to give that a go for a bit and see if I can rebuild my fitness.

 

Where you at Sunday? We are at Scunthorpe as part of preparation for Manchester Marathon in April.

 

Dartford this Sunday mate. Then I've got a week off before the Surrey half.
Did Manchester marathon a few years back, was the first time I broke 3 hours for the marathon, hellish last few miles as I remember.

 

Does anyone play football?

 

Sub 3 is impressive, got into them last year did London & Chester.

 

Sub 3 is very impressive. 3h 22m is my best. I've done half marathon in 1h 25m, but that second half of a marathon is a bstard.
