I was wondering the same thing re ghost runners? I thought it was a reference to the book called 'the ghost runner' about John Tarrant, the guy who was banned from races because he compromised his amateur status through boxing. So he used to gatecrash races without entering. I've got the book but never finished it.
I bought the Brownlee brothers book for my son last year but haven't read it yet myself.
Snot rocketing in a race is just yuk! Never actually needed to. But have wet my pants in a 10k before! It was a very hot day and I'd drunk too much water beforehand! My kids thought it was hilarious at the finish.
Morris dancers are just wrong, in or out of a race situation.
Malcs: I'm giggling thinking that you must have looked just like my dawgie, when she comes back in with her face covered. Giggle!!
I need pictorial evidence here!
Slowkoala..... Tena......
Hello sub 3.30ers, how are we? Just thought i'd pop in to say good luck on the eve of the last full day of voting, and to see how the chat in my possible next marathon target time looks (def getting waaaaaay ahead of myself here!). Happy vote pulling anyway
Karen, I think you've been outed on the general asics thread as someone who would run a race without actually entering.
I had a gentle run with the pooch this eve.
on the pet hate front, I have been known to snot rocket but I do look around me before I do it! I get such a runny nose when running and cycling, it can't be avoided. I hate it in races when people decide to walk without moving out of the way, especially in crowded bits ..and those people desperate to get ahead of everyone in a race because they didn't bother to get to the front early enough!
Ruffles Have you done any training with pooch for running at all? It may sound silly but a friend recommended to me that I needed to train mine? Apparently my breed (the dog that is) cocker, might be one whom darts all over the place and you can teach them to run alongside you?
Also what do people carry to blow their nose then if they are not snot rocketing? Or do they use clothing?
Gosh, I've never run a race without entering, probably a flippant comment. How do I find the general asics thread to defend my honour?
I use my Buff Superman, wear it as a ear warmer until I warm up then wrap it around my wrist and use it as a hanky!
I tried to run with my dog one...only the once! I got arm ache as he REFUSED to break out of a trot! You would be fine to train a cocker, very intelligent little dogs.
It is a head/neckwarmer. Think 1980's cowl but made out of polyester
You have to be kidding me Superman!! They are fab! Can even wear them to reduce chub rub in wetsuits....just saying!

Haha Next have Superman cufflinks too! A Superhero is in this year!
Morning fellow sub 3-30 gang, well wishers and inquisitors. I am fully expecting a visit from our favourite rabbit detective today with a searching question. Wonder what it will be about today? My question to you all?
Marmite - Love it or hate it?
Love Marmite Superman!
Morning Gingermagic Yes totally agree with you. On both counts!! Are you up to much today?
Been lurking on here, good thread guys...
Karen, the link you are looking for
http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/general-running/beachy-head-marathon-place/166305.html
Look forward to hearing everyones thoughts- runners, race organisers, etc
I've stated my Marmite opinion in the sub-3 thread, and am now feeling hungry so am off to hunt some toast with...
Superman, I didn't train Hugo for running, just took him out and he seemed to enjoy it. Some days he refuses to come but I like that he knows his own mind! The one thing I have taught him is to heel and come back if he's off the lead so that I don't worry about him if he runs ahead.
Karen get into the "asics" nearly time? Thread in this section of the forum and defend your honour!
Marmite? Bleugh!!
Good luck Pete hunting your breakfast down !!
Morning sub-3.30-ers and guests! It was chilly out running this morning in my shorts but it got me thinking: 'do real runners wear tights'?
What's your view? Are they about style, keeping warm or something more? What's your view of men in tights?
*Takes back all votes he's given to SupermanRuns and Gingermagic* anyone that likes marmite does not deserve my vote, sorry guys!
Marmite- disgusting. End of.
Men in tights is far preferable to men in shorts moaning about the cold, or with calf
tears because their muscles are too cold!!
love marmite
. Gave my hubby a sloppy kiss after i'd had a marmite rice cake one day when he came home from work. Mwah ha ha ha!! He didn't kiss me again for days!!
To my fellow contestants, good luck on the final 25 hrs. Been an absolute blast. Great to spend bootcamp with you and this pas week has been excellent. Great respect, humour and appreciation. I hope whomever wins does us proud and succeeds. I just wanted to say that now as I have one of the busiest days ever coming up and I didn't want to forget. Happy canvassing!
So I've arrived late to the party!
Only just spotted this forum
Morning all!
