Travis_Bickle Not long now. People have been amazing donating so much money. Still time if people have a few spare quid. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/matthew-harding-2 Going for a short run tomorrow morning and then that'll be it. Rest the legs and all that. Found myself reading about 'carb loading' today, something I never thought I'd do, trust me.....
Raposa Travis_Bickle You look far too happy for that time of a morning! Good luck for the weekend although with the miles you've been getting in lately don't reckon you'll need it.
CharlieG Anchor ......gel route......and have the shits for 36hours afterwards. Flapjack is the way to go.
Travis_Bickle I'll take a couple of bits of flapjack or Soreen probably. Never liked gels. Didn't eat when I did 13.6 but will have something with me just in case.
Anchor I did gels on my first half - never had the shits but I was getting well angsty about my sticky fingers - so much so I had to wash them - I hate that feeling of stick all over them - after that I went malt loaf for my marathon.
Loose_Lips As Trav has said the weekend will soon be upon us. 2:20 and I'll be happy. Turns out half the office is doing it. And have been training like bastards.
Precinct_Boy Loose_Lips Good luck to both of you, dead jealous. I was supposed to be doing it as well till my arse fell out on Humber Bridge one.
Travis_Bickle Loose_Lips Same here tbh. Did 13.6 miles in 2.20 a couple of weeks ago but have no idea how I'll feel on the day. Suppose it was inevitable that this week I seem to have aches and pains all over....
Travis_Bickle Anchor 4.34!!!! That's fucking mental! The green laser on the road was a brillaint idea.
90Piesanhour Just heard on the news that it's not recognised as a record because it wasn't run in 'marathon conditions'. Sounds a bit harsh. 'Sorry mate, can you just do that again?' !
Loose_Lips Its fair enough. It was just to show the body can do it. Whoever does it in Berlin will be a real hero too. Race conditions, no pacers, no lasers and you pick your own drinks up.
