Perhaps a tad much of an increase ideally, so if you do go for it, make sure you do take it easy and run well within yourself. | |||

"Just wondering as a first marathon next year, if I do decide to do it. I'm going to be looking at a flat course and am looking at Manchester or Milton Keynes.. has anyone done these or is there any others that you would suggest" I’ve read that Manchester is quite flat and fairly well supported, Milton Keynes is a little later in the year and was very hot this time around so you might want to bear that in mind. Edinburgh is very flat though too. | |||

"Just wondering as a first marathon next year, if I do decide to do it. I'm going to be looking at a flat course and am looking at Manchester or Milton Keynes.. has anyone done these or is there any others that you would suggest" Manchester claims to be the flattest marathon in the UK. Has a mixed reputation though. I've done MK half and enjoyed it, very well organised and the marathon course is supposedly surprisingly scenic. Bit the flattest course but certainly not hilly. You could also consider Newport, first one last year, flat and got great reviews or Brighton which is the best full I've ever done. | |||

A friend of my suggested Brighton a couple of years ago.. thanks, IL have a look at that.." Firstly, you need to decide whether you want to do a spring or autumn marathon. Spring means training through the winter, lots of long cold dark runs which really test the motivation. Autumn means trainng through the summer, which can mean lots of training in very hot conditions, with the added distraction of all those other ways of spending your evenings ie in a pub garden with a cold ale!! If you go Autumn, then you could do a lot worse than your local Leicester marathon, only real climb is back up New Walk at the end. And don't be fooled onto thinking flat is easier, gently rolling is often the best as it allows you do use slighty different muscle groups depending on the gradient. Flat is just relentless on the same muscles, they get no rest. | |||

And don't be fooled onto thinking flat is easier, gently rolling is often the best as it allows you do use slighty different muscle groups depending on the gradient. Flat is just relentless on the same muscles, they get no rest. The other advantage of spring marathons is that there are far more half marathons and a choice of 20 milers (which only ever seem to be in spring) to incorporate in to a plan That’s a very good point, getting race experience is a good idea (so I’ve heard, Chester will be my first ever organised event!)" The advantage with spring 20 milers is just breaking up the tedium by getting a medal and a top! I would recommend doing at least 1 event before hand though, even a biggish 10km just to know what to expect, you can waste a lot of nervous energy due to a lack of familiarity. | |||

"Just wondering as a first marathon next year, if I do decide to do it. I'm going to be looking at a flat course and am looking at Manchester or Milton Keynes.. has anyone done these or is there any others that you would suggest Manchester claims to be the flattest marathon in the UK. Has a mixed reputation though. I've done MK half and enjoyed it, very well organised and the marathon course is supposedly surprisingly scenic. Bit the flattest course but certainly not hilly. You could also consider Newport, first one last year, flat and got great reviews or Brighton which is the best full I've ever done. A friend of my suggested Brighton a couple of years ago.. thanks, IL have a look at that.. Firstly, you need to decide whether you want to do a spring or autumn marathon. Spring means training through the winter, lots of long cold dark runs which really test the motivation. Autumn means trainng through the summer, which can mean lots of training in very hot conditions, with the added distraction of all those other ways of spending your evenings ie in a pub garden with a cold ale!! If you go Autumn, then you could do a lot worse than your local Leicester marathon, only real climb is back up New Walk at the end.
