ps not used the forum before so just hoping this pops up in the right place!

I presume everybody is referring to Liverpool Marathon on 14 October? If so, then if there is a demand I will up-date the plans I did last year for each of the training groups. The programmes will start on Monday 2 July (ie they're 15 weeks). If you're interested post here. It would be a good idea, especially for inexperienced or first-time marathoners, to use the intervening 10 weeks to get up to speed for the start of the programme. The programme will include as a minimum, speedwork on Tuesdays, threshold runs on Thursdays, and a weekly long run, so come down to the club on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the group sessions and progressively build up a weekly long run so that by 2 July you are comfortable running for 1h30m - 1h45m (distance/pace not too important, time on feet is the important thing). Also try some of the shorter races over the next few weeks - this will give you an indication of what pace to train at and what time you ought realistically to be able to achieve on race day.
Programmes will be available in due course
Happy running
Tim

Thanks Tim, count me in!

I refer to my posting on 24 April. No doubt all you budding Liverpool Marathoners have been spending the past few weeks getting up to speed ready for the start of the 15 week programme for the Liverpool Marathon. As promised I have prepared generic programmes for runners in each of our training groups, so most of you will have something you can follow. THE PROGRAMMES START NEXT MONDAY, 2 JULY!!
I have sent the programmes to Dave Pinno and hopefully he will be able to get them up on the Training Page of the website in time for Monday.
Good luck everybody!!

Count me in too please Tim
