In the pink!!!!

[Tessie66]

Got a email about the Manchester marathon today and I'm in the pink wave 👋 💗. This is now getting serious I've been feeling unwell this week a bit like flu I suppose 🙃 even though I've been working and only been to the gym once. I need a good kick up the you know what and I need to start moving and upping my game. My son in law hasn't got his email yet from Manchester marathon do the generally arrive at different times?

Exciting, and hopefully just the kick you need.

Race packs for events often arrive over a few days when sent by post, but you would think emails should arrive pretty soon after each other.

In the meantime, you can check the start list to check he is registered, and in which start wave, here: manchestermarathon.co.uk/st...

Thank you also been told more to be added yet

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

Did you check if he was on the start list?

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Yes checked he's definitely not but also that says batch 1 so I presume more to come?

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

Roll on batch 2 then! Reassuring that others are in the same position.Not sure if you can see how many names are on there already, but if you can that might give you a clue as to whether there are many missing (assuming it's sold out)

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

DEFINITELY have to wait at the moment and email if it doesn't come through

[Katnap Marathon]

Maybe they do send the emails at slightly different times. Has your son in law received his email now?

Can your son find himself in the start times list (link above)?

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

I would have expected emails to go out at the same time. Has he checked his junk folder?

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

He's checked and nothing some people on Facebook are also in the same situation unfortunately and not received a email yet unfortunately

[Katnap Marathon]

I'm in 💛 yellow wave, and TailChaser is with our youngest Kitten in Black 🖤 wave.

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Black wave in front with the 6hr pacer in it I wanted to run with him probably go with 51/2 hours pacer now

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

Good luck 🍀

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Thank you

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

The pacers are odd. I want the 4:45 pacer which is in your wave Tessie. I’m not dropping back though as a 10.50 start is quite late enough!

All the best with the remainder of your training, and I’m sure your son in law will hear soon.

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to TailChaser]

He got a email back saying mid April I'm hoping he's in my wave to begin with.

[TailChaser Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

That’s good news. Fingers crossed Tessie 🤞

[Tessie66 Half Marathon]

14k run today and it was tough really tough 😪 I'm definitely doubting I can do this marathon at the moment

[Katnap Marathon in reply to Tessie66]

The runs get tough because you're starting to run on tired legs. This is deliberate in training to get your body and mind ready for the day.

Your plan will have a 2 week taper where the mileage and intensity will reduce. Your legs will be recovered for the big day. This part of the training is the hardest. Don't worry! You're going great! 💪💪

[Tessie66 Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Thank you I've had plantar Fasciitis so I've not been able to train how I'd like to but I'm still ploughing on and I am going to do this
