I haven't signed up for it (yet) but what do you guys think of this for a race. Each lap is two miles. First lap must be done in 25 minutes or you are eliminated from the course (easy peasy), second lap must be done in 24 minutes, third lap 23 minutes and so on. Last runner standing.

Thanks for this tip off. It took a couple of days for the certificates to come through and RD Paris approved then within a day of uploading them so I'm now registered. Phew. Now for the fun stuff. Costumes anyone?

I need some advice from anyone in the UK who has done this half before. My GP will not sign the medical form and says no UK GP would sign it unless I have an ECG which I'd have to pay to have done privately. What have other people done for previous races?

Based on our experience at the 2018 Marathon Weekend, you should have a decent buffer with a pace of 13 min per mile. My daughter started the half in H and actually was stood next to the balloon ladies in the corral at the start. Her pace was more like 14 min/mile. Her net time was 3 hrs 9 and...

Wow how did this thread get so long already. @LSUlakes here are my races in 2018 Jan 04 - Dopeyintraining - WDW 5K (NG / 0:48:30) Dopey 05 - Dopeyintraining - WDW 10K (NG / 1:31:56) Dopey 06 - Dopeyintraining - WDW Half Marathon (NG / 3:10:14) Dopey 07 - Dopeyintraining - WDW Marathon (Finish...

I'm signed up for this and it will get me the Castle to Chateau medal too. A friend asked me what this was called and I thought it was the biddidee-bobbidee-boo but isn't that just the 10k and half?

Thank you. I'm a terrible seemtress so I'm quite pleased how they came out.

Thanks for your support and for answering all my daft questions. I'm still going for it though at this stage the aim is just getting round. I intend to start each race though I have accepted that I may not finish. I have had another two weeks off but have kept up my rehab and prehab exercises...

I've got one more week until I go back to the doctor's to find out if I can run or not but I'm still intending on turning up and trying to get round as much as I can. I just need to stay ahead of the balloon ladies right? And I read somewhere that if you can get to the Boardwalk you can't be...

So stupid question #1: For Dopey do you just go to the Dopey stand? As in, will they give your your two bibs and six shirts or do you have to go round and get all the shirts from six different places. #2: For my party we are signed up for Dopey, a half and a 10k, race retreat and Chear Squad...

So first off to say I've been around for a while as its a very busy time at work, so I've been a bit rubbish at updating my training log. Not that I have a lot to add at the moment as I've been totally off plan for two weeks now. I finally got to see a physio this morning and had a really...

8 weeks to go: 6th -12th November Mon: Rest Tues: 5 miles Easy Weds: Skipped (2 WU + 5 M tempo + 1CD) Thurs: Rest Fri: Rest Sat: 6 miles easy (5k parkrun pacing 40 mins + 3 miles easy) Sun: 6 miles (Swindon 10k race with DD) Total: ~17 miles So the good bit first: My week hadn't been quite...

I don't think you should be beating yourself up about missing a couple of days as you have been plugging away. Sounds like you were pretty busy rusing about so that counts as cardio, right?

Your dogs are so cute. Nice work on getting back to training.

Thank you Julie. We love Wales as it is so dog friendly and the beaches are lovely.

Luckily I've not had any issues with my watch but I've had a few problems with the app on my iPhone. My husband had issues with his Garmin vivoactive HR and has had to get it replaced after 9 months. I did take it with a little pinch of salt as the definition of flat seems to be quite loose...

8 weeks to go: 6th -12th November Mon: Rest Tues: 4 miles Easy Weds: 2 WU + 4 M tempo + 1CD -supposed to be blind Thurs: Rest Fri: Rest Sat: 3 miles easy (5k parkrun) Sun: 6 miles @LR (attempted to do it blind) Total: ~20 miles This week was a step back week so much easier. @DopeyBadger...

Congrats on the PR, that's a massive chunk to slice off especially on such a hot day.

I think you did the right thing. If it's a tummy bug you could make yourself worse. Hope you feel better soon though I'm sure you're on for a good run on Sunday. I have NB Vongos which have done 150 miles in which isn't a lot. I loved them to start with but I feel like they have lost their...

Thanks for the recap and congrats on the improved BQ. A lesser person would have quit at 15 miles or at least would have given up on their goal. You obviously have what it takes to go onto even better things.
