Sorry but can I enter, then join a club etc?

 

Yes. I entered even though i will only be joining a club in Jan. You can only run your qualifier though once you have joined a club and have your licence.

 

Taking all these things into consideration is why i have targeted the Johnson Crane Marathon on  the 31st Jan as my qualifier.

Why don't we make a list of the Marathons, Half's and Ultras we are planning on doing in the build up to Comrades? That way we can provide support, feedback and encouragement for each other (Most novices like myself) during this journey, whether it is to Comrades or just to a marathon, doesn't matter.

So you ready for your marathon?

Have you started tapering yet?

What's your objective for the race?

 

OK, so my regime has been built up to to the following:

 

Monday 10km (gentle)

Wednesday 10km (gentle)

Friday 5-8km (fastish)

Saturday 15-22km (very gentle)

Sunday 3-3.5km swim for cross training. Usually an hour or so. 

 

The long run is done at around 6min30sec/km

 

The 10's are at 6min/km

 

The quick one is around 5:30/km

 

I've been battling some injury and have not wanted to push too hard for fear of aggravating the injury.

 

I will do one last longish one (15km) this weekend and will taper next week with two or three sub 10km runs with a light swim at some stage.

 

I am aiming for 4hrs30mins and at the very least a qualifier. I'm afraid I left it quite late so a simple qualifier will do. 

 

I'll try to do at least one more marathon next year for training and will hopefully improve my qualification time. This is only my second marathon, so I'm winging it a bit. Feeling pretty strong though.

 

EDIT: Joined the Strava club.

So, I've been contemplating my nutrition needs for 1st November and have a plan that works well for me on long rides, should be good for a long run too? My problem is that carrying all that cr@p around on a run is cumbersome. 

 

Any suggestions WRT carrying apparatus etc. it's gonna be a couple of gels but it becomes bulky when taking 4-5hrs into account.
