I would say about the 2 hour mark. If you need it way before then you probably aren't eating and/ or hydrating enough beforehand...
Was the last few runs around the 14 mile mark I'm starting to flag! But yeah hydrating probably the main problem!
I see the Dublin Marathon has sold out 3 months early!
Anyone doing it?
Not doing it myself this year, not that I could now even if I wanted too now it's sold out!
Am signed up
Anybody using Now TV app or box?
Thinking a sky day pass would be an option for the football on sky if it was reliable?
Right so how does one go about getting IPTV in?
I have an android box with Kodi installed although it Exodus and the likes don't seem to be working well at the minute.
You don't need Kodi for IPTV but it can be used with some. Most IPTVs I think run as an Android App, if you want I can PM you who I get my IPTV from.
PM me while you're at it please.
If u want to PM me your email address I'll send you through a doc that we got done that might be worth a look. We got a guy in to advise and he gave a report. Nothing extra ordinary in it but few things that helped us.I went with 250 with pumped insulation. Don't forget the floor as well. It costs more inthe initial build stage but money well spent. Speak to your glazier as well regarding air tightness.
What would be the reason for going 250 cavity? Would a higher uvalue blown insulation have the same effect in a 150 cavity (assuming the benefit of the extra width is to increase the uvalue)Check the overall cost of the underfloor heating before proceeding, it is expensive. Most put it just on the ground floor so consider that radiators would probably be used upstairs. Similarly, the ground heat source is expensive compared to a small oil or wood boiler required for a max insulation build.
A good heat exchange system is essential when you go for max air tightness. A cheaper system can be inefficient and noisy. Talk to people who have installed one, the key is the type of piping used and the ability of installers.
Are you going for a block build?
Yes, block build.
Thanks for all the advice lads
Love Ulster Final week
Genuinely hope Down can make a game of it and can stay with us to at least half time. We need a bigger test before 1/4 finals.
MH genuinely has plenty of conundrums with team selection. Sean & Collie both had knocks so he may not take chances with them unless they are really needed (which really should not be the case)
Roll on Sunday evening......
You are obviously a wind up trying to say down have no chance at every opportunity. They drew with us 2 or 3 years ago and beat us after a replay in 08 when we were all Ireland champions. They beat a very decent Monaghan team the last day out and will take a lot of confidence from it.
Down lads very quiet ahead of the game on here. Thought there'd be more talk from them.

Yes this country is fine for underfloor. Especially with a well sealed , insulated house. Plus liquid screeds now can react much quicker than the tradition sand cement (although the sand cement screed is better for heat retention).Looking at heating options for a new build, have narrowed it down to ground source heat pump or conventional oil heating, has anyone any experience of the former? My inclination would be to install underfloor heating along with this and we are looking at solar for water heating, haven't started talking to any companies yet for pricing either but looking for end user experience to see whether it is worth the outlay (whatever that may be).
This country is not suitable for underfloor heating because of its inability to change quickly in response in changes in the weather.
As said above put your money into insulation and air tightness to reduce the amount of heat you will need. Then the heat source is almost irrelevant if you spend enough on insulation, look to Scandinavian countries for standards in this area.
Would the intention not be to maintain a constant temperature which would be achieved with the insulation therefore negating the requirement to change quickly?
As mentioned insulate the balls of it and try and get good air tightness (tape/ foam the windows essential) and the actual heat source is less important. If your going real tight on the air tightness look into a heat recovery ventilation system.

usally gels altough some of these have given me an upset stomach during a race so i sometimes try to avoid taking too many. i have also carried marshmallows, jellybabies, jelly beans or skittles anything that will give you a boost. some of the proper runners on here pobably will have different nutrients to eat during race. try different things and if your happy stick with it. is this your 1st marathon? good luck with it.Need nutrition advice. Doing a marathon at end of April. During my long runs after 20km I'm out of energy. What should I eat before and during long runs. Before I have slice of toast and coffee and energy gels after during. It's not working past a certain point.before doing a long training/marathon run i'd have more to eat beforehand than a slice of toast!! i'd have something along the lines of either porridge, banana and toast or cereal plus bit of chocolate just before i leave. that works so far for me but everybodys different.
What do you have during the run?
It is yeah. Done halfs before.
Guys whats the best smart/fit watch to go with? Looking at fitbit and tomtom with a of a budget around £100
