"Swing King, is right - you need a plan A & plan B just in case. When I'm hanging on any run, I pick a "target" usually a fellow runner ahead of me, and I just focus on that, to run them down by the finish! " That is a good one that I use at half marathons. When I get to mile 9 I 'go hunting' and chase down the people in front of me. Worked well so far ![]() | |||

"You can still do some training in the USA - I haven't looked, but I wonder if park run exists in the states? Hope you're training goes well, and you achieve your goals. Don't forget to smile for cameras! I didn't get in the marathon - tried with ballot but unsuccessful. I'm doing some royal marine commando events to test myself though, ![]() I have looked and there is one not far from where I'm staying I think. Also I've convinced the nephew to do a colour run with me while I'm out there lol But worried about running on my own as I might get eaten by an alligator..... But at least he'll have a good meal, won't have to eat for the rest of the year haha | |||

"7 days to go...... 7 days! Aaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh!!! " You'll feel so great when you've done it. One of my friends ran the Brighton Marathon last weekend. She did really well. Hope the final tapering off is going ok. | |||

"Emergency ipod..... Do veteran marathoners think I should pack one? Im thinking there might be times where I need to zone out and be in my own space to push me on? " If it goes well then know you won't need it although some stretches it may help as it's not all great sights. If it goes bad (which obviously it won't!) then the ability to zone out may come in useful | |||

"I'd say leave the ipod. The crowds are great all the way round. I'm now kinda looking forward to it now. Also agree with the Plan A and Plan B. For me this year Plan A will hopefully be a sub 4 hr and Plan B is just quicker than last year 4.24." Just plan A for me.......finish ![]() | |||

"Yep, leave the iPod at home. The crowds are awesome, deafening in places, soak up the atmosphere, it will get you round. Plan B for me this year is to be the fastest VLM runner of a certain fancy dress (can't give many details here). Plan A is not to die attempting plan B! I will be starting from the fast good for age area between red and blue. We will both be at the expo Saturday afternoon." I love the occasional speedy fancy dress runners that you see up there with the fast guys ![]() | |||

"We told the charity my girlfriend ran for last year that we'd go to one of their cheering points. Seems they took that as we'll set one up! Received a banner, balloons and multiple tee shirts in the post. So we'll be in full on cheering mode somewhere around the Isle of Dogs" Which charity? | |||

"Slightly panicking as my charity vest isn't here yet! ![]() ![]() I chose to run for a local charity, not a big national one. I bought my own vests as sizing can be difficult for a runner like me then sent them to the charity so they could get them printed. I sent them off at the beginning of March! | |||
