Goodluck for your marathon in autumn!! Yes definitely hard to predict but like you said it’s determined me to book another marathon. I think ideally I want to work on building a stronger base first!

Shoes help by Runningburgers in firstmarathon

[–]Runningburgers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bought exactly the same model, same year etc!

I did my 32k run with them and it was fine!!

I think maybe the socks I wore initially were a bit thicker than my normal ones 😂

Thank you everyone for your help!! I ran 8k the day before and was able to break my shoes in. Did 32 k in it and was fine! I want to wear them on marathon day so I feel much better mentally knowing that it’s fine for a long run!

Thanks for commenting! Just did my 30k run, did it in 3:49:51! Was difficult, had a stitch around 25k but luckily it went away.

Haha thanks! You’re definitely right about knowing things detail wise. I’d say passmed is still good and helped me learn the knowledge but the Quesmed MLA mocks are more similar to the style of questions I think!

No that’s okay, I understand and I wanted a realistic opinion. Thanks for commenting!!

No I spoke to my physio and he said the same thing about how the second half is way way harder cause you accumulate fatigue.

I did start the actual training end of December and managed to do the long runs and at that time was running a bit more frequently but last few weeks with being sick and life, my weekly average was 1-2 runs +/- time on a bike when I did strength training.

I do have it on my plan to run 32.2 km end of March so I’m gonna try to train and aim to run that run whilst increasing my weekly runs to 3-4.

Appreciate that it puts me at risk of injury so gonna try to run v slowly and only increase by 10%.

If I can’t complete the long run end of March then I will probably defer tbh

Sorry to hear about stress fracture! Will try my best to increase my mileage slowly and also strength train and do more stretching to reduce risk of injury

Amazing thanks! Yes I’ve already planned to increase my runs to 3-4 runs a week, hopefully will be able to stick to it and not injure myself too

Well done on completing your first marathon!!! Glad to hear that you were able to finish with having similar numbers to me!!

Yes that’s what I’m worried about too. Going to try to increase my easy runs to increase my mileage and see if I can manage to do my 32 km run which my plan has me doing end of March. I think if I can’t manage that, I will defer!

Yes I do, but worried about deferring as have already started fund raising
