October fest

[stillwaddler]

It's a shame I can't be in Connemara too - maybe another year. Many thanks for the good wishes El G.
I'm just delighted to have secured a place for a Spring marathon, I need the focus to get out there and stretch myself a bit. I'm going to stick my neck out and plan for a sub 5 hour - many will see that as a very poor standard, but I'd be quite happy to knock off 5 minutes for a PB.
A conference call would be good :-) We can always have a joint celebration albeit a few miles apart, but I damn sure your Guinness will be better than any that I will sink in Sussex :-)
As for the training plan, you have pre-empted me as I was going to ask for advice on the Forum. I used Hal's mark 1 Novice last time, I have wondered about using the mark 2 Novice or maybe the mark 1 Intermediate? What would you recommend?
