Birthday present to myself booked into a half marathon in May and a highly rated club 5 miler in April.

Going to stick like glue to this http://www.halhigdon.com/training/51133/Half-Marathon-Advanced-Training-Program and try and out of eating shite! would love to break 1.30, a big ask from 1.37.

Also planning to do a few longer runs as the evenings stretch out have to 35 milers in mind, make a day of it

any runners here suffer from exercise induced asthma?

Very much so. Especially in the cold weather.

Change your breathing technique;

I had it for a few months the other year and had to pull out of 2 races over it.

You can get an inhaler which should help you but mine only manifested itself when I was pretty much on the edge in races.

Mine was only temporary after training on a chest infection so thanksfully cleared in ~6 months.

If anyone happens to be in Bordeaux on Saturday 18th June for the Ireland V Belgium game, I have tracked down a parkrun on the outskirts of town. Hangover permitting, I hope to be there. Anyone else ?

Guys in order to help/prevent niggling injuries like groin/hip flexors and so forth does taking fish oil supplements work? If so any you'd recommend? Cheers!

Did you do it? Enjoyable race yesterday

I did Heffo, it was a good event, i think around 3k started, came in a minute and a half under my target, so not bad for January. The route was a bit flatter this year, due to the roadworks done on the seafront, maybe that helped my time.

thanks to some serious interval training, 3.30 1km repeats with 500 m jog in between, i can now do a 41 minute 10km. Never raced a half marathon before but do you think 90 mins is achievable? thanks

What were your times before you started the interval training?

Do you feel the intervals really gave you the boost to go faster? Did you mix it up with long slow runs also or was it all just intervals you did?
