Stretch Posted May 22, 2018 Share Can't believe I am sharing this, but hey... I have a very regimented early morning pre-race #2 routine... the whole week before a big race I will go to the loo first thing, so that come race day there are no surprises and I've got that bogey out the way before even heading to the start. Running works my gut something special, so have to start my runs fresh and light. I also can't handle coffee before a race, else I have to pee half a dozen times in the first 5km's...I have to drop the kids at school before every run... If I don't I have to visit a garage en route Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted May 22, 2018 Share That's AWESOME, I'm doing Amsterdam marathon the week before on the 21st October... No Club Kits or anything needed at International Marathons, as Much SA Flag gear as possible.. I did London in 2017 in the attached vest, got plenty support The wife and I aim to do 1 different international marathon a year for the next 10 years... 2019 is New York..Just about to enter Dublin... Maybe I should join you for Amsterdam instead [emoji848] Ferret69, Hacc, Andrew Steer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaws677 Posted May 22, 2018 Share I once ran the Dead Sea ultra marathon. Starts in Amman in Jordan at 1000m above sea level and ends at the Dead Sea - 400m below sea level. Very small race with probably less Than 400 runners in the Ultra. Would love to go back one day and do it again.

b-rad Posted May 22, 2018 Share I have to drop the kids at school before every run... If I don't I have to visit a garage en routeAbsolutely. I need to start getting the kids to school earlier and earlier over the next few weeks so that by the time Comrades is here I can "drop the kids at school" before the drive down to the start.

b-rad Posted May 22, 2018 Share I entered my first international marathon yesterday!! 28th of October, the Venice Marathon. The only reason why I picked the marathon is because the marathon is in October, and my Mom really wants to go there. (I made a promise to her when she was very sick in the hospital I will take her on a holiday overseas when she gets better) What are the rules at international marathons regarding your club kit/clothes etc?What can I expect at water points?Any other advice regarding international marathons?Awesome! A good excuse to visit a new country! I'm doing Berlin Marathon this year. Anybody here with tips for Berlin? Accommodation recommendations, must see attractions etc. Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
