No drinking this week and next week as I have the 10k on the 29th
Then back on the Guinness heavily to complete the 1000 pints
Then in the new year I dont know where to take the drinking thread?
Next target will be the 26k Kilomathon in March.

i am quite almost semi-tempted to say i'll join in.  running a marathon was an item on my abstract 'things i'll try to do before I'm 30' list type things (as was visiting Berlin) obv too late for that achievement now, but it'd still be a good thing to tick off before i get too old and decrepit.  Am ridic unfit, but i don't suppose that's enough of a valid excuse with over a year to go.

do it. weekend away with mates and a little marathon thrown in. perfect

Will probs be up for a  go at this.
Started putting together a tentative plan, the other day, to do a marathon next summer.

Can't see  any downside to making it a bit later in the year.
(Aside from the obvious issues of being miles overweight, and not having run since school.... and not being very good at it then).

[gatso]

anyone considering it be aware of the price increases depending on how many have already entered

1 - 10,000           60.00 euros
10,001 - 25,000    80.00 euros
25,001 - 40,000    100.00 euros

Plenty of time to train for this. If you haven't run for years and can't run for more than a few minutes now then you'd have to start training before the new year to be ready to run a marathon next September.

You should definitely do it!

[kinboshi]

So Claire and Neil to be added to the list?

I might challenge you next year, doubt I could compete though.

I read it as November for some reason and was obviously being optimistic thinking i could probs start training around late summer time

how much of a time commitment, roughly, would the required training be?

[gatso]

most training schedules are around 16 weeks

you really need to already have a little base fitness before starting the 16 weeks though like being able to jog for 1/2 hour but that's a pretty easy stage to get to

i can probably walk for 1/2 an hour if that's any good?

claire, if you sign up I'll give you a copy of this book that I've got lying around http://www.amazon.co.uk/Non-Runners-Marathon-Trainer-David-Whitsett/dp/1570281823

it's based around a course that was run 5 times at the university of iowa taking a group of students of all abilities through a 16 week course ending with them running their first marathon which was effectively the final exam. 200 people did the course and only 1 failed to finish, pretty sure that was through dehydration. it's got loads of tips not just for the physical side but also the mental aspects of running

also has a nice easy schedule for getting you to the point where you can run 3 miles which is where the 16 week schedule starts

[Claw75]

gonna pm you innit
