whlst not condoning such actions...it was good to have a pint and a half of guinness on the way round on Sunday (as promised)
knowing that a fast time was off the cards, i didn't wear a watch, took a camera and some money for beers.
Makes a hell of a difference to the enjoyment quotient, i can tell you.
(for those regarding this as the height of lunacy, i would point out that andy blackford of RW has also run a race in a similar style - not that he's condoning it either, i suspect - "In search of the carved block", midsummer 19 miler in the south east: 5 pubs plus a cream tea.... sounds great!!!)

The Heineken made an interesting shandy mixed with Lucozade Sport (yeccchh!)
i had a pint of guinness at "The Grapes" - scene of last year's imbibing, as promised, just for old times' sake.
Could you publish your training schedules for this style of race please? Sounds far more enjoyable than the stuff recommended on the Training thread.
100 miles in jan
nothing in feb
nothing in march
6 runs in april (total 37 miles)
4 pints of IPA the afternoon before the race, to get the throat loosened up
there you go
4'53 and no-ones complaining
(makes me wonder why i bothered with the 500+ miles of training two years ago to save 55 minutes)
it's just a case of knowing what you want (in this case 1.5 pints fo guinness) and having the confidence to go for it!!
will i see you at windsor again this year??
Rather like this new training regime.
Did a pb(5.47)
