Steven Robinson — Sun, 19 May 2013 12:12:00 GMT

Varies from run to run for me. If im running on plan I focus on what im doing and that takes over all of my thoughts. If im just running I love to relax and think about all sorts especially happy memories

I'm doing the Great British. It was my first 10k back in 2010, ah memories! Just hope I am injury free when the time comes and smash my course time this year. In theory am more experienced, lighter, faster, but also older and have had a few injuries since then. Ho hum will take it as it comes. Hope to see a few Bugs there.

Good luck to everyone running today, everywhere. Think the weather's perfect here in the SE, not hot or cold, slight breeze, odd sprinkle of raindrops.

On average a pair of running shoes should last 500 miles or 6 months so from 2005 you have done well.... You may get a good price for them if you took them to the antiques roadshow lol

Nigeruns — Sun, 19 May 2013 11:11:00 GMT

It was a interesting day, but the last expo I went to was the London Marathon expo were 95% was dedicated to kit and 5% to nutrition...including the Fullers stand... But at this show 95% was dedicated to nutrition and 5% kit and it just made me think on how much we rate what we put into our bodies and what we value on our feet...both being important of course. But there again, how much emphasis is put onto marketing...footwear to runners and supliments to gym bunnies. The reassuring fact from your comments is that we are all aware of what we put in to our bodies but maybe there is room for improvement when it comes to core stability.

I do like the comment "if we put rubbish in, we should expect rubbish coming out".

Forum Post: RE: Choice of marathon

emso — Sun, 19 May 2013 07:26:00 GMT

I've only done two- Chester (October so may be too late/too early for your plans) and Manchester and I hear Chesterfield is organising one for next year so I could stick to a theme here! Both were great with Chester being smaller with a more low-key feeling, it felt a bit like events held by local running clubs, really friendly. Manchester felt huge although in comparison to something like London it is still tiny. I preferred Chester just, both were really well organised and in every other respect compared favourably with each other but the chilled out vibe that came with Chester made for a more relaxing day for me although in fairness I was time chasing in Manchester but Chester did win Marathon of the Year last year. Chester is also out in the country for much of it with fewer crowds and not the same level of noise in terms of bands/choirs etc although still a good turnout all along just more sedate. This felt more like my training so I liked it whereas other people don't as they find it more of a struggle without the big crowds. Manchester had alot of out and back sections so you had huge crowds as a result which I'm personally a little unsettled by but you got to see the front runners go past which was amazing and I found inspirational and motivational, others might find it demotivating. I'm actually breaking with the theme next year and doing Brighton because there is a big Bug meet happening and I've heard great reviews but if you do consider it you will have to book it soon as I think the deadline for entry is mid June. Good luck with whichever you pick x

Nicola, we virtually all start this way. it is a learning process and you will see and feel progress each time you get out there.

Sounds to me like you are making a good start - I really hope it goes well for you.
