Lots of time for faffage 😄

[AnnieW55]

OK, I've done it. York marathon booked and paid for for October and accommodation requested (probably in totally the wrong place knowing me). Ooer😂

[ancientrunner Half Marathon]

Good for you - that gives you lots of time to build up (says she who has never done one).

[AnnieW55 in reply to ancientrunner]

That's my hope AR, I started an Asics programme at the end of January - only one I could find long enough to give me a chance of finishing (assuming I actually start)!😂

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Awesome. May I add you to the Events calendar?

[AnnieW55 in reply to roseabi]

Anything to keep me on track 😀

[Anniemurph Half Marathon]

Fantastic! Let the faffage begin!

[AnnieW55 in reply to Anniemurph]

There will be no end to it Annie - it took me all afternoon to settle on a B&B even though they were disappearing / showing as full up as I looked!

[C3PO Marathon]

Well done! One thing I've learned over the past 6 months is: don't start your training too soon, or you'll get fed up when you really need to be pushing yourself.

[AnnieW55 in reply to C3PO]

Thanks for that C3PO. I can see how that would happen. For me I'm only doing 3 runs a week to train as per usual so hoping it won't be too different to my 'normal' running in that respect. It's only later on that the longer runs get, well a lot longer. I will keep in mind what you've said though, useful to know.

I allowed four months. it felt like four years 😁

Good for you. I think it should be made easier by having lots to see. Lovely York and a busy field will keep your mind off the running, and make the race go quicker. That’s the idea anyway 😃

So, all that remains is to get going 👍😃💪🏃‍♀️

Good luck

[AnnieW55]

Thanks misswobble . I've allowed lots of time as I think that suits my mindset better (although I will bear in mind what C3PO has said). I think as I run 3 times a week it's easier to do the plan a long way out to get unpressured miles into my legs. Although I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time 😄. The plan doesn't get too demanding until July. I suppose I can always just start another plan nearer the time if I am getting stale.

[misswobble Marathon]

I had my marathon plan and pulled in other races along the way 🙂

[AnnieW55 in reply to misswobble]

Sounds a good idea.

[AnnieW55]

Thanks Ali. York is great. Wonder if I'll think so on 13/14th October!😄
