The penultimate pre-marathon run
April 13th, 2004, by Rich, in Distance Training.
The club organised a little 5 mile road race tonight (for everyone to run at their own pace). A proper race, with marshals, and numbers etc. Perfectly timed to give everyone experience of running in a real race, rather than just as a club, so that the Marathon won’t be so different.
Sponsorship Continues

This is the last week so we’re able to concentrate on resting , and fundraising. The football is proving popular on ebay, and more and more people are sponsoring us, which is great news for the MSRC!

Backup Shoes
April 7th, 2004, by Rich, in Distance Training.
Using my reserve shoes, and a Compeed applied an hour in advance I ventured out for a marathon-paced run with Em. A nice easy, evening run. No complications, no pain, no rubbing. If my main shoes don’t return in time, I know my reserves will be fine for the day.
