WP - no need to take a photo of a spreadsheet using my phone. I can save the spreadsheet on my PC as an image and upload from there.

Ideally, I'd want to bypass having to upload to gallery first. Hence I may experiment with pasting directly from spreadsheet but I think I'll lose formatting, columns etc. I used to be able to do that on RW but it stopped working a while ago and had to start saving as an image first.

WP - I've seen 2 fake Hoka adverts on FB today! Plus one fake Brooks advert. It's a pity FB chooses to ignore fake adverts. 😠

WP - not Hokas I guess 😉

Ian - just looked at that fitting last post of yours on RW.

I just checked my stats on RW 22 years and 37k posts

June 2025, is that to Comrades, how exciting.

Rest day today for me, calf seems fine this morning but I had a bad night with my back hence up even earlier today.

Exciting Ian!

It rained heavily here over night and the forecast has prompted a change of plan. We were supposed to be going up to Zwolle to spend a couple of nights on OH’s parents boat, but they’ve said it’s not worth it. So we’re still going up but will stay at theirs instead.

It was a bit of a trip down memory lane yesterday for OH. She was brought up around here and we went a few places she knew as a kid. Including a fantastic pancake place (a Pannenkoeken Huis).

Ian - what's the entry procedure for Comrades?

Big G - as usual sourcing out the good food on your trip 😋

WP - 9 years, you've done well to come back to running after that, many would have given up.

Had an email from IOM marathon asking me how many times I've run their marathon. This year will be my 21st time.....would have been 22nd if I hadn't missed the plane last year 😅

Shades-Yes it's comrades,not sure if OH is coming but I'm pretty certainly going now.
Entry is quite simple for me,run a 4:50 marathon after September 1st,then enter around November time,first come first served

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades
Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon.

Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
