Anyone doing full marathon tomorrow or a leg or two? I'm doing the Antrim road leg and looking to do 8 minute miles for it, if it were flat I'd target a quicker time

Might run it also if I've anything left in tank

Tragic.

Man dies during race in Mourne mountains The man was taking part in a race in the Mourne mountains when he collapsed
A man in his sixties has collapsed and died while taking part in a race in the Mourne mountains.

It happened close to the summit of Slieve Moughamore on Thursday evening.

Despite attempts to revive the man by fellow runners and then rescue services, he died at the scene.

Martin McMullan from the Mourne mountain rescue team said their thoughts were with the man's family.

It's the second guy this year to have died in a race in the Mournes. Very sad.

Any you runners have a problem with metarsal area after long distance run? Foot giving a bit of discomfort from marathon run.

MR is it the top or bottom of your foot? If it's the bottom it could be "plantar fascitis"(for want of a better spelling) which is a common running injury. If it's the top then potentially a bit more serious. Ballinaman is a physio so better placed to advise than me...

Ran a supposed 10k in Belfast last night and ended up breaking 34. Course over 400 metres short

Very sad to hear about the guy dying - there's a good wee article on the NIMRA (Northern Ireland Mountain Running) about him. Seemed like a die hard mountain runner who had done plenty on the mountain scene so it wasn't like he was a novice. The other fella who died had completed a few marathons too so he was no novice either.

Top of the foot tommy, so I've been advised by Ballinaman and will try that, strange though

It was nearly half a k short tony... They run the same fecking race every year.i think the marshalls sent us the wrong way.

Hopefully nothing too serious mr.
