Anybody managed a marathon whilst still actively playing rugby? e.g. Same calendar year as the season?
Seriously! The half is twice as far as anything I've done before.Anybody managed a marathon whilst still actively playing rugby? e.g. Same calendar year as the season?
Sully, how is your training for the GC Marathon going?
I gave rugby the flick and have been training down here with the intention of heading up for it barring any major injuries. Did 26km on Saturday, will probably target 32km next week then maybe one more run of 38km before the event. I'm going to target a finish somewhere between 3:40 and 4 hours.
Seriously good times. Well done.Btw, I just ran the Samoan Marathon on Saturday. Not quite sure how I feel about the result as intended to go over and break the previous record that sat at 3:16 and I did that with a 3:11 but another bloke ran a 3:07 on the day so I feel like I want to give it another crack.
Still got a podium place in a Marathon for the first time and around $350 prize money so can't be too disappointed. Humidity was atrocious so I blew up pretty badly despite trying to rehydrate the whole way through. Went out in around 91:30 and back in 100 and you had to dodge plenty of local dogs and few pigs flying out of the roadside bushes.
