Guest Man on the Post Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Darren, is it true that your running 25 miles a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I intend on finishing the marathon within a week!!! if thats what you mean!! I've been running over 40 mile a week during the height of my training as opposed to drinking 40 pints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Man on the Post Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 40 miles a week, fantastic. So by the end of the year I can expect you to be over 1500 miles away. clapper: All the best. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 ha ha, very good!! If I had the option of being 1500 miles away then be rest assured then I would certainly take that option!

Well done lads They are back 2nite so I am sure they will confirm times :clapper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Cheers for all the messages! I'm aching! yep, times are correct, and I'll also add that Shaun Tozer (Helston Ass. Man) did 2 hours 48 mins!!! Up to 20 miles it was all going fine, the next 4 miles were the hardest thing I've ever encountered in my life, my legs wouldn't move and were barely going in front of each other, I walked for about a combined total of 2 minutes probably, and then ran the last 2 miles after gaining some energy from sweets and flapjack!! A fantastic time though and an experience I could recommend to anyone! And yes, it certainly is harder than it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peppermint Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Well done St Darren and hopefully you raised a good sum of money for your charity. That is a very good time for your first attempt at a marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest postman pat Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 welldone st darren. was the atmoshpere as good as you thought it would be or did it just blow you away.the crowd make you feel so important that you have to keep going for their sake or you feel you have let them down.one of the best experiences i have ever had in my life. 1.are you maneging to get up and down the stairs ok or is it a struggle? 2.have you taken your medal off yet? 3.have you stopped grinning yet? 4.whens the next one? welldone again mate wellcome to the london club :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Was an amazing experience and one I'll never forget, I didn't stop smiling for the first 20 miles! and then bang!! some bugger built a big wall!! took me about 70 minutes to run the last 6 miles. Slapping hands with kids standing on the side of the road, hearing people shout your name with encouragement is one hell of a feeling. How am I feeling now? my ankle is killing me and I've got pain in behind my left knee, no blisters though. Walking on and off of trains yesterday was funny as anything with Wellsy and myself barely able to move. Will I do it again?? definitely, one more time I think, whether that will be next year or the year after, I don't know, but I want to crack the four hour mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
