Thank you for the update, Clare. I'm definitely running Leipzig but training has to go really well to make it under 3:30. I'm hanging out on both the 3:30 and 3:45 threads and I'm blogging regularly about my journey with the P & D.

I've found out that I have 6 races on Saturdays, all between 7-10k, in the build up so that fits well into the plan.

Lol HOD! Obvs I've just stalked your profile but I'll 🤫 if you'd rather not have it listed on here. You can do it!

FF, hope you can get training soon! Tipsku, keep doing what you're doing, looks like you've got the training off to a great start!

Thanks Clare, I may look at an autumn one instead and in the meantime try and find the running mojo I seem to have misplaced.

Hi Tipsku I'm following the exact program that you are with very similar goal. Aiming for 3.30 in Belfast but will be happy with 3.45. We are at the same point in training though I skipped the first week. It's my first Marathon race and I'm not sure what I'm doing. How hard [or easy] to go in training etc. Hope you don't mind me following your profile.👍
