March on us already? Marchons, marchons ! Or more accurately, courons, courons ! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒ

At the moment we only know of one runner taking part in a race this weekend, and itโ€™s a biggie โ€“ the Harmonie Mutuelle Semi de Paris, i.e. the Paris Half-Marathon, on Sunday 5th March: harmoniemutuellesemideparis...

So letโ€™s get cheering and waving those pompoms for the first time this month to wish ย ย ArthurJG Bon courage ! as he heads around the east of Paris towards the finish line on Place de la Bastille. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ Whatever you do, donโ€™t lose your head on the way to that bling!

Anyone else out there racing this weekend and want a pompom cheer? If so, do send us the details!

My last race you mean? A week ago on Tuesday but that was just a wee 5k they have once a month in Edinburgh. Got a course pb (but thatโ€™s not saying much) and another one at parkrun on Saturday but havenโ€™t run at all since: hope I havenโ€™t tapered TOO much but with a ten hour train journey to factor in I didnโ€™t want to be fatigued on the start line. Iโ€™ve only done one HM before and I think Iโ€™m better prepared for this one but time will tell.

Haha. No. I just couldn't believe it was Friday again, I thought today was Thursday ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Dont worry about not having run since Saturday, fresh legs together with better preparation AND race magic will make for a heady combination, it should feel wonderful ๐Ÿ˜Š Enjoy!!!

I think linda9389 might be in a different time zone right now ArthurJG . ๐Ÿ˜‰ She will keep swanning off across the globe and refusing to take all the rest of the forum with her. ๐Ÿ™„ Of course, it might just be that she's no idea what day it is! ๐Ÿคฃ

You'll be fine, enjoy the race!

Thanks everyone. Starting n the slowest group at at 1059 (0959 UK time) by which time the faster runners will have finished. In fact they start in three minutes and Iโ€™m still in nightwear. Confusing!

I got a five minute PB ๐Ÿ™‚ 2:36:19. To be fair it was only my second official HM so a 50:50 chance of a PB but Iโ€™m happy. Jeffing 90/30, that seems to work better for me especially over longer distances.
