Kate, Bernie and I have signed up for the Dublin marathon.
I've heard rumours of a few others
Anyone else taking the plunge?
Long slow runs typically sat morning and shorter runs randomly during the week if anyone is interested.

I'm doing it too

Considering!! Who's using what training plans?

I'm doing an 18 week plan that Joy put together for Kate and Bernie - it's similar to Hal Higdon's Advanced 1 plan but 4 runs a week instead of 5. Skips one of the slow 3 mile runs a week.

In these plans there's a half marathon in the schedule - I'm hoping to do the Oylegate half marathon at the end of August (two weeks from now).

Also heard of another two Ironman maybes..

Best of luck guys with the training.
Oilgate half route changed this year. Better I think with plenty of good running in it and pretty flat as halfs go. 2 loops with just one short sharp climb per loop. Previous course was tough. Well timed for anyone looking at Dublin

Hals book was very good I thought and worth buying

I've entered. So who wants to let me train with them?

Yeah though my midweek running is random enough and typically at lunch. I'm doing 30km this Sunday morning leaving the square at 9am.

Thanks David. But I'm goin to a party Sat night so I prob won't be in great shape Sun morn. Might try squeeze one in tomorrow

Entry closes Wed Oct 1st 5pm.
