My 8 week marathon training was interrupted by the snow. But have I done enough? I have signed up for the Longhorn so tomorrow I intend to try a bit harder. Minimum 28 km non stop complete with gels, food, water (too much I expect .. ). I recon this is the time were I have to" put my feet where my mouth is". Water won't be needed on the day. But tomorrow it's just Rita and me. Wonder if she would buy me the Hoodie for my birthday.

Non-stop sounds a bit hardcore. I stop when I need to, breath back,and set off again

You get food at the longhorn too! Jaffa cakes, choc brownies, flapjack that sorta thing 😋

8 weeks training doesn’t sound much for a marathon. I allowed four months, mind you it did seem to go on forever. The guy on the Audiofuel marathon training podcasts tells us not to run beyond three hours in training, as after that you’re not gaining anything. Save it for the day 🙂

Good luck with the training run 💪😃🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍

Thanks both. I'll have a look at them.

I've got a Motion Traxx upbeat workout music for running - 150bpm (free😀 I'm a cheapskate) that lasts for an hour that I've never played so will try that too - not too sure I'm into house/progressive music now though

Having changed the Tom Tom over to miles. I managed 15mils before the rain started. My "test track" is more like running up the Brecon Beacons with a bunch of squaddies , than running a nice off road marathon. So its good practice for Longhorn. The last 5 was hard work ( I had forgotten my PD medication. ) So callled it a day and went home.

Memo to self .. put your bloody pills in your belt with the gels and sweeties. Dimlo.
