I would definitely say you would want longer runs than 10 miles before you go into a marathon. An extra 16 is a long way to go!
Well yeah XD I meant I'm doing the half training until February, then following a runners world plan after that up until May. I'll be doing at least 4 over 20 milers
Sorry, that was not massively clear!Oh okay! Haha yeah I didn’t get that from beforeWell yeah XD I meant I'm doing the half training until February, then following a runners world plan after that up until May. I'll be doing at least 4 over 20 milers
sounds good!Why don’t we all join Coffee run on the Thames Meander marathon and then the Pilgrim Ultra instead?Oh okay! Haha yeah I didn’t get that from before
Oh god not the Thames MeanderWhy don’t we all join Coffee run on the Thames Meander marathon and then the Pilgrim Ultra instead?
did the half once, never again! I hate races where you have to run past the finish line and keep going. My mind just gives in!The infamous (short one year) Sunderland marathon was like this. You ran past the finish at 20 miles. I mean, they couldn’t have picked a worse place for you to run past the finish could they?Oh god not the Thames Meander
May I recommend avoiding Cheltenham Half (the September one, not this weird new RunThrough one)? You run past the grandstand on the top of the race course at mile 11 - and then do two miles around the racetrack until you finally reach the finish. Which is next to the grandstand! (This year they also placed the mile markers very very poorly and the 13 mile marker was about 700m from the finish lineOh god not the Thames Meander
)I mean Cheltenham 1/2 just felt particularly cruel XD The half I mentioned earlier is a 6 hour race slot, do as many 3 mile laps as you want which I thought would be particularly good for building some mental toughness!
The rules are the same. I have reported a lot of elites recently.
There are even bigger issues than that with her - she overtrains to an insane degree, even for an elite. I do not think she is over her eating disorder by any means, and it's unfortunate she's so talented because it means her addictive tendencies fly under the radar.
Nope. Same rules for all. I had to unfollow her because it wound me up so much. (And if I’m honest I found her triggering to my ED but that’s not her fault)
Funny, wrote my reply before reading this. I think she wildly under-ate (underrate??) but I wasn’t sure if it was in my head
I’m not even sure that that much thought goes into it. Just something slapped together in two seconds for some Instagram likes. You can tell no care was taken in the making of the videos
Been saying this for a while, really poor videos but then again what do you expect from a teacher who is a tin pot in Instagram ‘coach’?! It’s all about pushing tripe out there for likes and attention and you know what, she some how gets it!
That really doesn’t surprise me if I watch the way she exercises. Literally no control over her body whatsoever. I understand that some may not be able to tell that she’s doing the drills incorrectly, but anyone should be able to see that she can’t even do a basic squat. The LIRF/CIRF courses aren’t amazing but even they were trying to drill it into us how to do a correct squat, etc. Looks like that didn’t stick in this case.
I was in a Facebook group (free, no coach affiliation) with him a few years ago when I was training for my first full. He was so obnoxious- I had to block him. I'd never heard of him before or since. Everyone else in the group was merely chatting about training, commiserating, etc. And he comes in every day to self-promote. Totally forgot about him until this thread!Fordy_runs is having a clear out today
