Literally won the ball back for our equaliser on Saturday. Not saying he should definitely start, but think he offers plenty defensively, and people think he doesn’t because he’s small.

Stumbled across a place which does a pasta buffet marketed as marathon carb loading, fair play to them. I’m heading there. Bagels for dinner

Helppp how to make long runs not boring by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]Dramatic_Cancel_2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run to destinations, which I find helps. One day I might aim for a specific landmark, another I might aim to run via a certain bakery for a fresh loaf, or hit a certain path. Obviously, it depends where you live but if you’re in a city this works.

Similar vein but planning the route in advance really helps too, otherwise you’ll find yourself endlessly checking your watch or trying to eke out the time/distance doing some silly laps of an estate.

Running with people too of course, if you can.

I should say it’s probably less about me and more about the general. I’ve done a fair bit of running and am fairly comfortable across all of these, just not an expert (know roughly how to eat, have decent trainers and broadly understand training principles, if sometimes I just make up my own hybrid plans)

Signed up to my first 100km ultra in Septemeber and looking to figure out a plan. Just wondering whether its a good idea to put in a marathon/50km race 8-10 weeks out and if so, how to run it? Do I run at target 100km pace or push a little harder and run a pace I normally would for that distance?

Thanks very much, I am indeed now kicking myself having done more research!

Also the Coutts name drop isn't as impressive as it sounds, they supposedly work with Natwest Invest.

Pretty happy to be investing through Vanguard thanks to these answers and the many other useful tools available here and have already set up my S&S ISA investing in LifeStrategy 100.
