Nope only raced one marathon, and it was after 3.8km swim and 180km bike.



I wouldn't recommend 26.2 miles around Bolton otherwise.

I can't swim to save my life

Shame, because that's pretty much the most important time to be able to.



I suggested trails because I think they are so much more enjoyable than road running.

Not doing London Marathon, I received an email instead of the lovely magazine. Never mind, eh!

Any other marathons to recommend? Something different would be good

Travel, they say, broadens the mind. What about one in mainland Europe? Berlin, Copenhagen, or Stockholm are all well worth running around.

It looks like I may be entering the snowdonia marathon, it looks epic. I've just signed up for a trail 'half' which is a week after my road half, so I'll be carrying some pace with me.

I've visited the first two already, and I can imagine running around them is great as they are so flat. I'll keep an eye out and see what catches it. If it wasn't so expensive to get there, I would be looking at Lyon as it's a beautiful city

There's the Stirling marathon next May.

Yeah? But it's not worth much any more

Had a bit of a cold the last few days. Feeling more chipper this morning so i'll take the dog out for a quick 8 miler later.

Does anyone else really struggle with breathing when running into the wind? I often find myself short of breath and having chest cramps, even when running at an easy pace. This may be something to bring up with a doctor, but I've never experienced it whilst on the bike.

 

[Drago]

No, it's the heat that slaughters my breathing.

I don't mind too much heat, but humidity gets to me very badly

I much prefer it to be in single-figures, the closer to 0 C the better!!

Same here, not too bothered though as I've already entered Manchester.

Have you done a marathon before? This could be my first, provided I get in via the ballot.

That's the first one I've applied for, never done more than 10k so far.
