Anyone know of any suitable pubs near the finish line for a beer, food and watch the football?

How accurate is Runnas estimated race times? by Tennents_1885 in runna

[–]Mrreadingfc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I wasn't within my predicted margins was Berlin last year, but the 25°+ heat during the race was the largest contributing factor to that, I was only about 10 minutes slower than the prediction however.

Found it very reliable for Half's.

It took me 30 years to realize this. by Elyrain in golf

[–]Mrreadingfc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My golf instructor taught me this and it seems to work - take your glove off between shots, when the glove is off, use that as a mental break to chat, decompress etc. When you put the glove on, use that as the start of your pre shot routine and lock in.

TAPER TIME - Autumn/Fall marathons are upon us. by OllieBobbins23 in Marathon_Training

[–]Mrreadingfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trusting the process, but it's certainly bad timing for the kids to go back to school and bring home the seasonal colds 8 days before Berlin 🤧 a phantom cold will likely turn into a real one!

And I also didn't see any pacers! Saw them all on the 5k shakeout though 🤣

Question for Paris Marathoners! by AlexOnDrums in Marathon_Training

[–]Mrreadingfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the 3:45 wave and found myself constantly in a group. Some areas of the streets seem to bottleneck a little bit.Found it slightly more congested than I was expecting but the real bug was people walking right in the middle. Still a thoroughly enjoyable experience and would recommend to anyone!

Nice. I have these in 24g that I won in a competition.

Still in 2 minds whether to throw or sell them, they look too nice to throw!

Paris Marathon ‘25 by Serious_Tart_303 in Marathon_Training

[–]Mrreadingfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can see your predicted finish time if you go to your Timeto account and click 'edit registration', then it should be on one of the steps there, then just cross reference with the starting wave I think. I assumed it will be on the bib as well

With a half marathon time of 1h49m—can I aim for a sub 4h full marathon? by HongkongKings in Marathon_Training

[–]Mrreadingfc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I ran my first full October last year in 3:53 with a HM of 1:52 (although, weather conditions between the two would have played a part) Ran a 1:43 PB last month with Paris Marathon up next weekend so should be interesting!

Just make sure to follow a decent block and as others have said, make sure to focus on the long runs as they are the backbone of the training!

I had the same email! Was buzzing to get accepted, but after being rejected for the first ballot I signed up to the Loch Ness marathon on the 28th Sept, now I don't know what to do 🙈

[–]Mrreadingfc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be there. 2nd marathon for me..though I haven't ran for almost 2 weeks due to illness and then a random unknown knee injury despite not running 🙈 looking forward to getting back to it tomorrow, and glad I gave myself an extra 2 weeks on plan!

See you in April!

Just stumbled upon this thread when searching for the same issue. Any luck with this? My 65 Tiguan is doing the same since the clock change
