    Think I'm going to do this; regardless of Wembley hangover... won't be able to indulge in any post race festivities though, because I have to be back in Newcastle later that afternoon

    Ooh Corinth!

    I almost hope Everton win now!image

    Mr LB is planning to run this one (I'm having an op in a couple of weeks so I'm out now)image

    And before you say it Corrie - it's not a lobotomy! image

    But I will be spectating!

    Jay Snizzel and Road Kill - thanks for your replys last week - sorry its taken me so long to thank you!

    Good to know that there will be a range of abilities (my best 10km time is 49mins but normally i'm about 52 or 53 mins so I should be in the middle somewhere hopefully!). 

    Really looking forward to this one now.

    No! The op is not serious!

    Did anyone see Usain Bolt's escape from that car crash yesterday? He has one seriously black toenail! It looks like mine!

    I think the likelihood of him plodding in Manchester next month is about zero now.....image

    Gutted, i was hoping to see him run again, not in person but no doubt there would of been some media coverage.

    I have now applied for this run, finally got round to doing it.

    Woohoo.

    Seemed a pretty simple process via the Runners World site.

    Do i get a confirmation email?

    Ah infact, just checked my hotmail and you do get a confirmation.

    hehe.

    Is this a silly thought, but do other forumites have their RW nicknames on their shirts so other potential forumites can recognise them?

    If so how do they do it? just a marker pen job scrawled on number paper?

    has anyone registered to the site fetcheveryone.com? i noticed it in the runners world mag. The thing is, if you go on there and go to events, get the 10k tunnel race up. It has 2 different links, if you click on either(*and also if youve registered) it gives you distance in miles from your postal address to the start of the race. The problem is the 10k tunnel race(both on the same day) have 2 different distances from my home, being around a mile different. Theres also a little map of the area of the race on the links and they both have different starting points. The only thing i can think of is that maybe they originally had a different starting point, can anyone clear this up!image

    Races on FE are generally posted by users, rather than organisers, and duplicates therefore do occur - when putting a race up you're asked to check for duplicates, but it doesn't always happen. You're also asked to mark a location on the map as close as you can or know - so these can be inaccurate too. It's a bit like wikipaedia - most of the info is sound, but you can't guarantee it. If you spot something wrong you can help out by putting it right.

    I think you'll find that a great many on these forums are also 'Fetchies'. I find many of the tools quite useful, and waste... erm I mean spend... many an hour chatting on both!

    Apparently RW recently purchased FE.

    Of course if I've got that wrong, I'd expect some other Fetchie will put me right. image

    Cheers ST - do I get a gold star?

    The problems start when, as in this case, people have started adding comments, adding the race to their portfolios (portfolia?) etc, so if one version of the race is deleted now it messes up stuff for other users.

    Judging by the page IDs I'd say ST is down as a runner on the first occurrence while Boothy you and I are on the second.

    OK, I'm boring myself now - off to watch some footie.

    much appreciated,thanks for clearing that up, ive found the route planner quite good on fetcheveryone, were you can map out a run around your house in miles(saves you wasting your fuel in the car going around)image

    another thing, whats the closest train station to the start line, i heard it could be moorfields but not 100%, we would be coming in on the train to lime street, but i also heard it was about 20 mins walk to the start from there and we would only be arriving at lime st at 9.25 so pushing it a little close

    It works on my PC too, unlike some others which crash it (MapMyRun, for example).

    Can't help with local travel, I'm afraid - not too familiar with L1. Actually, I'd be interested to hear about parking, as I'll be driving across from Yorkshire.

    Just off out for a 10 miler - trying to keep the pace down to 9½ min miles...

    just looked it up on google and i'm thinking the closest one is a train station named james street, that would get us there for about 9.50(a little close i know) but if you consider we didnt get to the start line of the liverpool half til 9.25(5 mins from start) it would give us loads of time! Just checked for parking if it is as i think next to james street station then the initial search doesn't look good, but i'm sure there will be something around there(it's the only thriving business left in the uk). I'm back in work tuesday with the liverpool lot and i'm sure they'll know something.

    Well done Sprinting Toffee.

    I'm thinking about getting the Ferry over on the race morning, just a shortish walk up from the front then.

    Nice one ST!

    JS - is the free one way rail travel no good for you?

    I had a look on t'interweb at car parks and Pall Mall NCP is right by the start and looks easy enough to get to - any thoughts?

    Well seeing as though the map says it finishes near Vale Park, it would be a bit of a walk to the nearest train station.. atleast 15 minutes.

    So i'm thinking that i'll park by the ferry as i have family who live near there, get the ferry over and then walk to the start. Then when i finish the race, i'll walk back down the prom the other way as i'm sure the whole prom wont be closed off and i can lend support to any people who are still running.

    Hi Sprinting Tofee - I did the Purple Run 5k too... VERY short for a 5k wasnt it?

    I made it about 2.4 miles on my Garmin!

    If it was the full 5k then I smashed my pb by about 5 minutes!

    Made the mistake of starting in the middle of the pack and spent the first half mile falling over prams. pushchairs and people who had give up runing after 20 yards!

    Can anyone clarify just exactly where the start  / assembly point is for the tunnel run? The map provided on the run liverpool site sint up to much!

    Thanks everyone, only 10 seconds behind the winner but got the impression he could have ran alot quicker..... i was knackered at the end and he wasnt even out of breath!!!!image kicked it-ye theres no way was that was 5k, i was lucky as i was warming up on the field and then heard the announcement that it was starting and everyone walking over, so i just mixed in near the front, about 100 little kids sprinted at the start didnt they!!!lol i got about 10 people from my work to enter some of them it was their first race, perfect weather for it... ive not done the tunnel 10k before sorry

    Funnily enough the winner was a guy called John Hunt who happens to work for the Echo and the Daily Post...

    I think theTunnel Run would be a lot more interesting if we had the mums that dont run, a bunch of prams and blokes in full tracksuit and tennis shoes in front of anyone who has done a bit of training! A sort of handicap / slalom / hurdles event....!

    Well done though ST - I'm only jealous I didnt wriggle to the front too!

    I had the same problem with a 10k here in Brum - it was only about 8½k! The finish line came as a bit of a surprise... hadn't started my sprint finish!
