Couple of questions re NCM - have never run it before. Did they change the course? I always thought it was a double loop. Also, it looks flat enough...Any tips about training. Should I do some hill workouts or just incorporate some hills in my regular runs? Thanks.

There were a series of course changes from '03 to '07. I believe the two-loop marathon course was eliminated in '04 (or was it '05?) I loved the two loop course personally.

The second half of the marathon is pretty flat (a long slow incline by Carleton U and the bridge at Heron), but the first half has a couple decent uphills on the Hull side. I wouldn't call it hilly, but it's not a flat marathon like it used to be.

[fe.RMT]

ugh. I can't decide if I can be ready for the 10K........

[QuickChick]

of course you can be! You just have to decide how ready you want to make yourself. Come on! It'll be fun!

hemming and hawing about a plan. I want to take advantage of the cheaper registration...... but part of me wants to wait and run the St Paddy's 5K here in TO first before committing......

[QuickChick]

Come on! You can absolutely run 10K, and from now till May is MORE than enough time to build up some fitness to reasonably race. Just register, and then you're committed. You know you've got a ride up there if you want! : )

[klc]

ugh. I can't decide if I can be ready for the 10K........

+1 here. I guess I will know more by next week. When does the price go up?

[JSmitty]

By February 15th!!

I guess I better decide on my distance.

Finally, some action. Registered for the NCM Marathon. No turning back. Even selected 3:30-3:40 time goal

[JSmitty]

See everyone in Ottawa, we are in for the half.

Nice. Well then, as the 3:45 pace bunny, I hope I see you before the race but not during it.

Just adding my name for the 10K. Silly question though...the online registration is asking me for my PB. Now, I'm pretty sure that this is not going to be my goal for this race. I've only ever done the 1/2 and marathon at NCM and if I recall they always asked for your goal time to determine starting coral, never what my PB is. I sure don't want to look like a poser so do I put my goal time which is much slower than my PB?? Thanks!

I would just put your usual time plus a couple minutes. It's not an exact science at the best of times.


In other news, I'm out for pacing the half.
