@Coastalraider how is the training going? July isn't it?

Training going well mate, just laying the bricks. Did 6foot track a couple of weeks ago and found it quite easy compared to last time, and ‘accidentally’ ran a 15-20 min PB, so the plan is working. Doing UTA100 in May as a very day, not pushing hard for a time, just doing a big day with good vert and aid stations. Then its a
Full steam ahead to UTMB - late august.

How’s your training going?

Well done mate. I've got Canberra Marathon this weekend. A bit nervous, I've only done one marathon and that was 10 years ago. Expecting it to hurt in a different way to the monster trail races I've been doing.

It's a nice course and pretty flat (edit - i should add that i haven't done the marathon course, just the half). Fingers crossed for good weather.

Awesome. Did I see there was some course changes for UTA because of the weather again?

Hope you're saving some money too. A workmate did a big bike ride in France last year and said it was outrageously expensive.

I haven't trained for about 6 weeks. I screwed up my hamstring last July playing soccer and didn't take long enough time off. I still have time up my sleeve as 50k is October. Best to give it another month of healing otherwise that 50k will hurt a lot and potentially do further damage. Wife is throwing down some good numbers in training and will probably leave me in her dust.

UTA does have a mod on the usual course as the area known as ‘landslide’ had another - you guessed it, landslide! Talking to the RD last week and it should be a good plan B this year.

Saving like crazy for EU…

Good to hear you’re wife is training the house down, hope you get back to it safely.

I bet all this rain is throwing another spanner in the works.

Notched up a 3:14 marathon today boys. Very happy with that. Never was uncomfortable. That will earn me a slot in Start Group 2 at Comrades.

[Coastalraider]

Hell yes!!! I just checked the times and saw that a great result mate, onwards to Comrades!

Don’t know to be honest, the 2 usual issues are cliff instability and the valley water levels as it’s part of the Sydney water catchment. Both issues usually come from sustained rain for long periods - so hopefully we are ok.

Thanks mate

A plane. The last one of the day. Home. So I could work the next morning.

You went and did a 4000km run in Canberra, and that night the raiders played and you didn’t take the opportunity for a day off and to catch a game?

You disgust me.

What can I say. I was oncall for two hospitals the next day. My work is pretty inflexible.

Pfffft, hospitals. What would they know about anything?
