Alright, I'll certainly give it a go, thanks a lot! Oh and good luck with the marathon in April! I think I've read that you've run marathons before, so fair play for having the motivation to do another! Perhaps if you suggest that Mrs AberdeenSaint and Miss AberdeenSaint go for a lovely shopping trip in London first that will help to sweeten the blow. Oh and reassurance that you won't be miserable when you get back should things not go to plan! Thanks Lamballana. I'm resting it up at the moment and have a knee support on most of the time. It seems to be alright. A bit swollen the day I did it. But I can only feel it when I first start out walking and when I'm walking up stairs. Anyway. I'll just be careful with it. I could probably run the marathon based on the training I've done already so the worst thing I could do now is make it worse before I get the chance!! Might take on some gentle swimming next week to see how that goes down.
You've got just over a month, I believe. Rest up. You're bound to have got some power and stamina reserved in the battery by now. Swimming is the best general exercise for almost any sport. I'd certainly recommend that too.
What's your rough target time RSS? Have you seen the 'good for age' time thresholds for the London Marathon (http://www.virginmoneylondonmaratho...irgin-london-marathon/good-for-age-entries/)? With four weeks to go, it's probably best to post a few more long weekend runs. The those 20mile+ are so important. Then with two weeks left to go, taper - a good rest and lots of carbs. Every man's dream.
Just read the above posts about your knee. How is it today? Ice and rest for a while, cross training as TSS recommends. Ignore my post above!
Man, I played 36 holes of golf and my knees are soooo sore; I was going to Offer to run and support you with drinks etc, but can't now How's the knee?
Used to enjoy playing golf donkey's years ago. One annoying thing about the game though is that the better you are at it, the less you play.
Had a fluke round a couple of days ago got 41 points........they are threatening to cut my handicap.......... In truth I average around 28 points or so, so they have let me off............
I sampled your Northampton golf course a few weeks ago flt. I did ok...most of the time I managed to hit the ball.
