I did Prague with SWMBO in 2005....I wouldn't say it was the nicest route and it was very hot.

Good on yer Granty.

You'll find the time because the event will become all consuming and your family/friends will just have to allow you to be race prep selfish for the next 4 months.

Have you set up a schedule yet?
Or planned any training races?

Granty.

Never thought I would say this to a marathon runner........

I`m really jealous........

I hope so !

I've been looking at a few schedules, and I have decided to follow one I got from the London Website for the 1st timer / novice . A 16 week 4 days a week model.

Looking at a few 10K's between now and then to help, as well as the Bath H/M in march.

Any 20m races near you in March?

Great news Granty

Best of luck with the training and more so with the raising money.

Who are you going to run for?

I raised some money this year for charity and to get the pesky buggers to part with their dosh I did a raffle in the office, and by way of prizes I wrote to companies asking them to donate, local businesses were very good. You could also do things like guess how many sweets are in the jar for a bit of fun.

Granty - forget the idea of a 20 mile training race.

Been there, done that.

If you're doing to race 20 miles, you might as well race 26... you might as well just do another marathon - that's what I'm doing - Barcelona (but closer to home you could race Taunton?)

<H runs away - as that's quite controversial advice!>

don't listen to him Granty... multy marathon training is for ultra race prep... when you get mad enough

No idea - I'll have a look

Not obvious I have to say. - still looking

Perfect............

You will have to start filling in your training blog now Granty.

I may not have been lucky enough to get a place myself,but if I can feel the pain of your training it may make me feel better about it.
