Hi everyone anyone doing next years sheffield I will be there it is the end of april again shame they finished the full mararthon in 1993 it is a good race and fast
I am doing leeds in september which I also love doing
Who's to say Westley, I suspect if it's any different it'll only be minor tweaks. As long as we've still got the stadium start / finish and Eccy rd I'll be happy!
Agreed, the start and finish were great as was Eccy road. Eccy rd caught me out a little last year. Despite living in Sheffield for two years I never realised it was actually a slight incline as you travel west along it. The return from Hunter's bar was great though, gave me a real lift when I needed it.
It's the same day as Nottingham Marathon so think most of this lot will be there. Did it a bit bad it's flat ish in parts and a goo crowd and pubs would have done it this year but Nottingham got in the way as it were.
Thanks for the info Cake. I am glad your description of 'flat' is consistent with what I've heard elsewhere. Of course if I did the hillwork I should do I would not react to a little hill like a man being marched to the gallows.
Ahhh! Takes a step back opens up a bottle of champaign and pours a drink. This isn't new and always mean's some naughty words said in the cake household. Welcome to my pain and thank god it's not just me that get's seriously fecked off by this. They stopped doing the full one because according to rumour there wasn't enough people taking part. Guess what date they always used to pick for it?
there used to be a mararthon in leeds aswell but they said the entry numbers where dropping so now the only local mararthon is on the fylde coast with a new one may be in fleetwood next year
will find out more on sunday as I am doing the new half mararthon there I know Ron who puts these races on and in 1979 he did the spen 20 mile in 1h45 mins 1 hour faster then my best time
I wonder how many people on this thread lived or live in Sheffield? I lived there for a little under two years so the Sheffield half gives me an excuse to go back and catch with with friends. Also as its so close to the Peak district it makes a good location for a long weekend taking in the half marathon and the Peaks.
