haha you know what they say !! white men cant jump !!! how can you trip over something so low, when you were jumping horse jumps over a distance of 37miles at the weekend!!! lol

Hay rich, nick here, thought I would post you from sunny Dubai, from the Palm. Been out here all this week, 40 degrees! Been murder for running be able to keep 10k sessions up, longer distances just too much in this heat. Will be running the top end of the palm on friday, just to say I have !! Anyway must go for dinner now! Oh yeah brought my book as I'm reading it for 2nd time too much to take in in one go!!

I should have said thanks for the reply to the marathon query a few weeks ago!

Reading your blog, was your 90s rest between intervals standing, or did it consist of a recovery jog?

Thanks... in advance! ;-)

What age did you run your first marathon?

Was it ran for pace or completion? I'm sorely tempted to give it a go next year.

Hi Well done on your race and time - great stuff.

I was watching the marathon on a part of upper thames street (mile 23ish I think) and you run past (me shouting out your name like lunatic or so my friend thought-)

I had my camera's video running at the time and briefly caught you in action.

I can't seem to add the clip to the forum so have saved it to sendspace. Here's the link if you want to have a look http://www.sendspace.com/file/10tzrt

Well done again you should be really proud - I hope to do it next year the whole day was fantastic.......

Take Care

Ian

Excellent Performance Richard at London And a Great Time to be proud off!!!
Very-Well Done M8!!!
You will have to now update your PB for you Marathon time with sheer pride!

Rossco,

Well done Rich! AMAZING marathon time!!

I don't know if we will still "meet" online before you leave for London so I leave this message to wish you all the best for tomorrow.
You have worked really hard for it this year and you deserve all success.

two very easy days for me now Rich in prep for the race on Sunday,s till unsure how to approach it.

How are you feeling?

Richard

I just chopped another 51 seconds off my 10km PB. Interested to know what you think of my splits per my question in the race reports section - that's if you get time between running 200 miles per week

Not bad to say I had those two months injured in Nov/Dec, though I think I must have fallen behind your chart of progress
