wrexhamrob Apr 2015 5:48pm, 12 Apr 2015 969 posts	0 wrexhamrob last longish run for me 9 miles 8:40 pace- 8:35, 8:15, 8:30;8:46, 8:38, 9:04, 8:44, 8:47, 8:40 - felt good apart from the wind and rain . My dream is sub 4, realistic is pb sub 4:17something. Otherwise get around, its marathon no36 for me but my first Manchester . This time last year i enjoyed Paris- i stuck with the 4hr pacer against my judgement as daughter wanted to - stayed with 4hr group in sight to 16 or so miles - with c good bit of banter with SAfrican and Irish managed to regain lost pace in last mile to finish 4:18 . happy tapering everyone, and talk soon - if its warmish i'll be in Welsh dragon vest and at moment im in the 3rd 4hr pen - may try to mve to earlier 4hr pen. Peeg on page 50 your run of 20miles at 9 to 930 pace looked good- prob a bit faster tan me on a long run , you should be good for 4 to 420 finish, it all depends on how you hold it together after 20. I know thats my challenge- after 20 its running with the heart- to keep some sort of pace and focus when knackered. right im going back to catch up from page 50 talk soon

K5 Gus Apr 2015 8:58pm, 12 Apr 2015 1,346 posts	0 K5 Gus So, all about the weather forecast now. Don't mind too much if it's raining or not, but don't want a strong wind. Currently saying 10mph which would be good, east direction which is not so good as the final 4 or 5 miles will be into wind. Plenty time for things to change in the next 6 days though !
Nelly Apr 2015 11:51am, 13 Apr 2015 2,351 posts	0 Nelly I'm currently less worried about the light wind, whatever direction it comes from, and more worried about the predicted mid-teen temperatures But as you say Gus, plenty of time for things to change. I think I've captured everyone in the sidebar, but let me know if I've missed anyone.
