UTR's Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I am running my first marathon in a few weeks time. I am from Mansfield and do support derby with pride but I am a lurker on the forum. I have a feeling that we will go up this year.There is a short video explaining what the charity I am running from does at http://www.oliviasvision.org/If you would like to wish me luck or sponsor me that would be brilliant. Thankshttp://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/SamLeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 good luck. Am surprised this thread slipped by without much comment, as we are usually a very charitable and caring bunch on here.Sadly, I'm all maxed out on charity at the moment, but wish you the best in your fundraising and your marathon run too.

Hats off to anyone doing a full marathon, I've only ever done halfs. Good luck to you. Thank you so much for your sponsor bcnram I appreciate it a lot! Its Rock n Roll Liverpool Marathon- I get to go round china town, anfield, Goodison park, the carvern club(home of the beatles) and penny lane. I have only ran 21.5 miles so I am hoping what they say is true about the last 6 miles being in the mind. If you are doing ramathon next year I might see you there!

If you have ran 21 miles you will be totally fine, i have ran well over 40 marathons over there years they are tough...but not that tough, so much of it is in your mind. Dont believe any of that "hitting the wall" rubbish, jsut make sure you drink plenty of water and eat as you go around (bananas energy gels, not burgers) and you will be totally fine. Best of luck, and one advantage you will get running around Liverpool is that you will have to keep going at a decent pace or the locals will pinch your laces.

Phoenix Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 From my experience, you can hit the wall, if you go off too fast. Don't get carried away with the euphoria of it all.Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aiming for under 4 hours, 3 and half hours if I can! I tried pacing myself on a run the other day and the slowest I could go was around 1km every 6 minutes. I'll keep you posted on my time fot the marathon itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
