thewelshrunner and kellogs_ontherun #3 At Home with the Bonkdashians

[Into_the_tunnel]

As someone who has run a sub 1:45 half marathon but not a sub 3:50 full, I'm telling you now it's not going to happen. Getting excited for Manchester Bonkathon

same. That half was hard going and translating that to the full..

She clearly has a bad case of amnesia about the last 10k of every previous marathon

 

[irunforfun]

What paces has she labelled MP, HM and 10k?

 

[PawsDog]

Can anyone fathom what are the different paces in that run?

 

[Runhappy]

What paces has she labelled MP, HM and 10k?

5:21/km Marathon
5:12/km Half
5:02/km 10K

10K is accurate based on her PB, HM is realistic on a very good day, marathon pace is the day when pigs fly

5:21/km Marathon
5:12/km Half
5:02/km 10K

10K is accurate based on her PB, HM is realistic on a very good day, marathon pace is the day when pigs fly

Imperial version:
8:35/mile Marathon
8:23/mile Half
8:05/mile 10K

I can’t work these out from her run today .. seems all over.

If she goes out at 5.21 min/km it will not be pretty by 30km

Thanks for the imperial for this older person!
She is in my wave. My corresponding paces:

Hmmmmm

By the looks of it she is still expecting to run a 3:45 marathon.

She'll be lucky to be sub 4.15. If she was really serious about a BQ she will forget the camera and vlogging the race and she'll run like she wants it. Except she only runs to get free stuff and attention, including bagging a free Boston marathon.

I’m doing Manchester but my training has been railroaded by becoming utterly weather fatigued. Week after week of that wind has beaten me down. My longest run has been 16 miles last week, did 13 yesterday and got 10 next week. Dropped my sub4 dream and just running to get it done now. It’s been a marathon training block I’ve hated and not sure I will train again with a goal specific intention as it ruined the whole experience really!!

It’s better to turn up on the start line undertrained rather than overtrained. My best races have come from not having expectations and being relaxed. A lot of training plans only go up to 16 miles so don’t write yourself off. I think it’ll go better than you think.

I feel like this is what I need to hear. For the past few weeks I haven't done any long runs as I felt a little niggle in my legs (which I feel is getting better)/haven't had the motivation.

My last long run was 5 weeks before London. In fact I only ran 4-5 times in that 5 weeks because of injury. I did bonk because my hip started hurting from trying to compensate for the opposite foot being damaged, but still managed sub 4:30, and I am distinctly average.

I almost want to find someone and buy their place so I can stalk her around with my GoPro and vlog a bonk tutorial

I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt runs it with her to scream at her the whole way round. She’s probably terrified of him so thinks it will motivate her. He’ll do the filming so she can go ALL IN.

Interpretation of Kelly's latest cryptic post? Mega long run tomorrow?

“P*** off tattle. I will show you all and smash a 3:45 out of the park. And if I don’t, I have a post that I put up two weeks ago to show I didn’t really care about times anyway. So there.”

Kelly acting like a child as per usual and pretending all is fine and dandy in the Welloggs house of doom.

 

[Runhappy]

Not sure what she means "little by little". So far she's got nowhere in marathon progress and an hour off her time is no "little" expectation

Bonked her recent attempts and I'm sure this one will be no different.

He'll be on the sidelines screaming, even if he wasn't injured with his marathon a week later I don't think even he is stupid enough to run a marathon the week before, but I could be wrong

Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute Harri's curls are (sorry, not normally one to comment on kids, but he looked super cute).

Strongest I've ever felt? What? Carrying a Go Pro on a bike in Kenya? Yeah, we'd all feel pretty strong if we flew around the world to ride a bike and film other people running, too.

I've been the same way and battling an injury. My longest long run was 16 miles, and I'm going into my marathon with no time expectations - I'm going to run it, check it off the list and move on. I'm mentally fatigued and ready to lay off the training for a bit.
