Can I change to the half please?

Dear Mr Bedford,
Please would you transfer my place in the FLM to the FLHM as I feel it would suit me better
Thanks
Beanz
later.....

Oh there ISN'T a half marathon on the same day? - well, I'll just have to try and run the whole way then ..


Seem to be recovering from the cold - and not feeling so miserable and tearful

However not sure about the running .....

Time for a long slow plod - 3 hours is due

mrbeanz was not going my way so it was an out and back, rather than the drop off and run back

So I ran out for 1½ hours and back.



Mile Pace AHR
1 13:37 132 warming up downhill
2 13:20 136
3 13:15 135
4 13:17 137
5 13:35 137 try a gel - yuck
6 13:47 135
7 14:11 134
8 13:30 133 buy a lucozade
9 13:33 138
10 13:41 135
11 14:16 135
12 15:30 130 heart OK legs struggling
13 15:23 127 this hill doesn't get easier!
13.21 17:16 119 13:58 AHR 134




I have to say the prosepct of doing as much again daunts me at the moment - maybe I have to think about going a little slower - but then I'd be on my feet even longer!

The first 10 miles were done in 2:15:49 which is 13:35 rate - I need to do 13:45 rate for a 6 hour marathon - so ... without th ehills maybe I can keep goin on my run a mile make up the difference mode which I used today based on 14 mm - and ended up (including the slow stuff ) with 13:58 mm.

Hey Ho

consistent pace though and FLM Is flat and there is HUGE crowd support
you thought about a timed walk run thing like 5:1

dont you give up now
rememeber training runs-especailly those on your own, are MUCH harder than the "main event" with all the support
