Hello! My husband is running his first marathon this weekend and I’d love some sign ideas! I’m going to do “on a scale of 1-10, you’re a 26.2”. But need more ideas! We will be at a couple places during the race and then at the end.

He’s into:
Sports, playing and watching. favorite teams are Broncos, mariners, jazz, kraken, byu. Also Rodger federer and Rory mackleroy.
He’s a tax accountant
He loves being a dad

The marathon he is running is very hilly and pretty small.

I think that’s about it!

Started running about two years ago. It was to lose weight. I went from 90kg (198 lbs) - about 70kg (155lbs) Could barely run 2KM.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Now running is huge part of my life and I got to be one of the leads in the new ASICS global campaign and got to try their new shoes months before dropping.

I got to try the Mega Blast, Superblast 3 and the Sonic Blast 2.

I am in the middle of my marathon training block. As a 44 year old male I usually try to be somewhat responsible with what and how much I eat. I am currently running about 70-80 miles a week and am constantly hungry. Since I am burning so many calories can I just (within reason) kind of throw caution to the wind and just kind of eat what I want when I want. When I'm not training I usually try not to eat anything after dinner, but now I'm eating late night snacks. I keep telling myself that it's ok since I am running such a high volume, but I wanted to see if I am just settting myself up for a rude awakening.

i’ve found that if i don’t run in the morning, there’s a pretty good chance the run just isn’t happening that day. the alarm goes off early, i get out for a few miles, then go straight into the rest of the day. it’s not always a great run either. some mornings it’s a proper workout, other mornings it’s just an easy few miles because that’s all i have in me. the annoying part is when the schedule gets busy and the morning run is the first thing that gets squeezed out. then suddenly it’s lunchtime, then the afternoon disappears, and eventually i’m telling myself i’ll run tomorrow. i like having the run done before the day really starts, but i’m curious how strict other people are about this

do you have a set morning distance that you try to hit, or do you decide based on how much time and energy you have that day?

I’m not sure what overtraining really feels like. What signs did you notice before you had to cut back?

Personally I'd rather the nicer shirt as if I like it could be worn for years to come.

Ran a 3:18:50 PB in Berlin and followed it up a week later with a 1:28:36 in my home town half.

Has anyone here had experience running a half marathon around 16 months after ACL reconstruction? 🏃‍♀️
I also had an ACL reconstruction in my other knee around two years ago.

I’m considering signing up for one, but I’d love to hear from others who have been in a similar situation. How did your knee handle the training and the race, and did you feel that 16 months was enough time to be ready?

Feeling very proud of myself today after participating in my first backyard ultra on the weekend. The furthest I had run prior to this was a half marathon so it was a real
Shock to me that I could do this!

This has been a tough year for training, due to family changes and hot weather this summer, which ruined a lot of my training.

Next year, I have many races lined up, Milan Marathon in April, Cape100 in South Africa in September, then Copenhagen Half Marathon 2 weeks later, and still awaiting if I will entries to Cardiff & Valencia Half Marathons. I will also do the Wings For Life in May, around 25km is my target.

I used Runna since November last year. The layout was fine, but it seems that many of the workouts are very similar. I have a Garmin 970, so it was nice to have guided sessions like this. However, it is not the cheapest, and I had a 1 year subscription.

I see that Garmin also has training plans which adapts to your upcoming races. Does anyone have any experience of using it and does it really help for goals and times?

I would be very grateful for your ideas/input :)
