Sounds like you’re well on track 👍

What’s your target Marathon time?

1 Faster than last year which was 4:15.
2 Sub 4hrs 10 min which is NewYork Marathon Good for Age qualification for V70s . I have no intention of doing New York but it’s the hardest target time to get .
3 sub 4:05 pushing to 4 hrs , which may be beyond me. 40 years ago I was running sub 3 hrs easily, sub 4 hrs is much harder now!

Impressive, im not sure I can see myself pushing greater than 13.1miles, even if I make V70.
Im hoping by then, I've given my 6 year old daughter enough miles in her legs through training, to allow me to watch her doing such distances/races... just so I don't have to 😄
 

Absolutely buzzing to wake up to this message - I have missed it so much and my fitness has bombed. I then just end up in the pub.

Muddy runners
Hello gentlemen! Quirky and Rich were having a chat and thinking about starting this going again… it’s been a few years.

Some of us, myself included, are in a lower state of fitness that we’d like, so, with apologies to those of you who have been on top of your hill running, we’re thinking about keeping this shorter and slower than we would have done in years past. To begin with, we’ll aim for muddy routes of about 1.5 hours and ~10k. Walking up hills, not punishing our middle-aged selves too much until, as a group, we can increase our speed and distance.


First run this Wednesday at 20.20 at the bottom of the Lane (where we met at the past). Be there for 8.15pm as we’re going to implement a hard start at 20.20, there or not. And get your head-torches sorted in the next few days.

Let us know if you want to be part of Muddy Runners 2.0. No hard feelings, of course, if you want to bow out. Lots has changed in our lives and fitness (for better and worse). Maybe this one we can resurrect.

Great time mate well done, you’re obviously well on track. It can be interesting finding one of those “ predict my marathon time” calculators where you put in your miles of training per week , your 1/2 m time and it comes up with a marathon time you should be capable of. While not 100% accurate they can indicate if you are being too optimistic or capable of a bit faster than you think.

Thank you mate. Was hoping for sub 1h45 after doing Manchester in 1h46 a couple of years back. Managed to keep consistent splits and the weather was kind. Course is definitely more challenging than Manchester though imo
