Hurah! It seems that I am not the only regular marathon runner on NSC.
So how did you do today?

Do you do any weights?
I was given a weight plans for my legs and it does seem to help
I don't to be honest, but three of my weekly runs are now done with those hand held weights.
About three weeks ago I decided to use weights whilst running, and have committed to drinking no alcohol until after the race. In that time, I can't believe what an improvement I've seen in my times so I'll be sticking with it. Those weights are only about £3 each from Sports Direct and seem a cracking investment. I recommend them!

That is a great time. I guess you're looking for 3 hours in the marathon?
I'm going to run from Osborne Villas to just beyond Saltdean and back tonight. I'm off on my holidays tomorrow but I hope to get in 2 eight milers and a twelve whilst away. I'm not sure how good Courchevel 1850 is for long distance running though. I sense it could be hilly.
After I return it's 3 more weeks then the taper. The taper looks like a run-round-the-block compared to my current milage.

That is well respectable!
A 20 miler on sunday for me & 22 next week. Then the taper.
Am anticipating 3.30 for the marathon.
Looks like you will break the 3hr?
My Aim is 3hrs 30 as its my first one.
If i can get to 21 miles in same sort of time on the day I can do that.

If you keep up this level of training you'll have time to spare.
