30k done this evening.

Last 6k was hard work, pace dropped quite a bit.

Managed it in 2:57, hoping to sneak under 4:30 for the marathon.

Great work mate

@PragueBlue - how's the running going. Are you making any progress?

Starting next week (weather permitting). I've bought all the kit I think I should need and have been doing some exercises at home in preparation (as well as breaking in my new running shoes).

Thanks for asking.

nice one :-)

Superb weather for parkrun this morning. Anyone else been out and done one today?

Been out cycling instead today so gave the run a swerve, but would have been great to run instead.

Hi all
23 miles this morning at 8.56.
Got tired at the end, probably too quick at the start but 5 weeks before the marathon so time to improve.

Completed Liverpool half on the weekend, weather was grim waiting to start outside the Evs new ground and then a down pour at the end! Done it in 1:57:38. Which is a PB last event half I did was 2017 and Did that in 2:14 so I'm made up with the time. My Strava has my half as 1:55ish as it says I ran 21.52km cause I was getting round people and stopped for a wee!

Passed 12 months without a drink now on 9th March 2026. Flying with that and my mate has given me his marathon spot. Just looking to get myself round, I did it last in 2018 and finished in 5:21. Looking to complete it around 4:30ish so 6:30 per K. Been consistently running 3/4 times a week since May 2025 including a long run then 5k, 10k an extra 7/8k if I do a 4th run. Longest I've ran so far is 24k 2 weeks ago in 2:24 and looking to do close to 32k this weekend then drop down 26/28k week after then drop again to work towards being ready for the marathon

Nonsuch parkrun for me today. Official time if 32.27, fastest time since Oct 24. 4 mins faster than 1 that I did 8 weeks ago. Heading in right direction due to consistency

Went to Congleton parkrun this morning - 3 laps around the lake. 31 mins and my quickest parkrun time since October.

Warmer weather as well, so happy with that.

Morning All
23 miles at 3.30 today
Probably my last big run before manchestee marathon now, although im running a half in Llandudno next week

Felt very leggy today but still managed a decent rime bit a bit behind the pace I want for 3.50 in the marathon.
Be disappointed if I dont do it on the day.
Hope everyone's training is going well.
