Unfortunately I dont think it will be so easy for me!
I do think I ... |

Im doing this with the mindset of doing however much is necessary to get my goal time of 3:30.
I may well be working 6 days a week and spending my day off travelling somewhere quite far away and then ... |

I have applied for the London marathon.
My current level of fitness is that I can run 8 miles in one hour but after that I'm knackered. Could maybe do 12/13 miles in 2 hours
My goal time for the ma ... |

Hi, I've just started university and they dont even have an athletics club . Isn't that a bit odd? It seems like in America everyone at college/uni takes athletics so seriously. Anyway, the on ... |

About the marathon, if I could train without getting injured I don't think it would be a problem. It should only take me a month or so to get used to the different kind of training, as for about 6 mo ... |

For about the last two weeks I have done little running in order to try and get my old recurring injury to go away. I've only done about 2 3k runs and played football, or "soccer" a few times, but ap ... |

Well done Dan! How much training were you doing for that? I've been thinking of maybe trying a 5k soon, as my training is normally in that kind of area. I sprinted too much yesterday and hurt my h ... |

I went and ran the 100 again and got 11.21 this time. I will go to a "real" track soon and try to get a more accurate time. Anyway though, as I seem to be better at this than middle/long distance, I ... |

Thats really good! Do weights come in pounds in America? Over here they are all measured in kilos. 225 is about 100kg isnt it? I suppose thats free weight isn't it? Because some people use the ki ... |

What distance is the race? You mentioned you were in "lifting form" - whats that mean? - are you a weightlifter? If so, how much can you bench press?
