SS, how can you think of missing such a bargain? Substitutions begin 1 March!
And i have decided i prefer the down run after three goes at each...
The night before might be better for a meet up if that suits everyone plus anyone else that can get there. Just set the time and place Lowrez
Right! I better get researching an eatery, unless anyone else can jump in and recommend somewhere? I am not a native of that there London.
> Hi Gary, you are going for No.6 I see :) have you had a bad time these past 2 years? Sorry if I have raised something you might not want to discuss. Have you qualified yet? Thanks for the lodgings heads up.
Hi Yep last two years injured just before comrades. Last year femur knuckle stress fracture two weeks before . I did ask if I could fit in another 90K and then rest but Dr not impressed :-). Fingers crossed for this year.
Did I see that Eoin was in danger of going hypothermic which is why he was forced to break and bring his temperature back up? Its like being hauled off at the base of Fields Hill in a down run and a saline drip being forced upon you. So much more than just putting one foot in front of the other at ultra distance that you have to managed to be a success. JK - what a class reunion that would be in the future - put your hands down if you have run less than 10 miles, 20 miles... 50 miles, look you two stop pi**ing us about!
Ahh - run to heart rate - you need to talk to Becca7 Gary, many fine finishes running to her ticker! But is that the Norrie who did the scare on only gun time marathon finishes being accepted in the future? Give him a slap from each one of us for free! My 4:48 net this year would be a failure in that case at 4:52 gun!
Now, I've grown tired of these miniature squeaky sobbing celebrity chefs over the years, luvvly jubbly, but I've got nothing major against them. Note that I avoided looking at this one for some time but having searched for a while it keeps luvvly bubbling to the top of the list; nice range of pasta dishes, reasonably priced with a 7pm table for 8 currently available on the evening of 27th April, so how does this look:-

> A Saturday night meet sounds good SS. I am currently meeting a non-forum Comrades runner on Golden Jubilee foot bridge that evening with the intention of consuming some pasta with her, I am staying in Waterloo; shall we try and form a merry band with Becca and Dannirr? Is Mr SS going for a time or dressing up? Like Thomas my friend is actually going for qualification at London; I think my dramatic ways are catching!
I’m starting to think that maybe I should run a marathon before London to practice Comrades pacing. I always go out too fast so I think it’d be a good experiment to run a marathon ‘slowly’, forcing myself to slow down if necessary.
Also.. having not run an ultra before is there merit in trying to run a 30 miler to get an appreciation for running greater than marathon distance? Longer? I could realistically only fit one ‘extra’ very long run into my training..

Re this. I am a software engineer and am currently working on an iOS app for creating/following training plans. I’ve had lots of suggestions for ‘social’ functionality, finding races, talking about them etc. Would having a basic race by race chat functionality be something people might like? Would people interact with something like that through a mobile app?

Is this a pre London meal you are organising? Is it an open invite?
Last time I did London I treated myself to a ‘posh’ Italian restaurant. Got about 5 pieces of ravioli
Hi Thomas, I am really glad you are thinking of doing more events... I put Boston Lincs in my diary as its a real banker for a qualifying time with only 12ft of ascent on it across the whole 26! Manchester is a very good mainstream event too pretty flat compared to most, I qualified there last year. An ultra would be very beneficial as a long training run and a big confidence booster and experience at going longer, a nice slow n easy 50ks worth of Canalathon would do you no harm at all
I was already counting you in the 8 for London pasta Thomas
I will do a count up next to see if 8 was correct!
So 8 at the osteria for London:-
Those are "only" the ones with declared involvement in the event so far (sorry if I have not picked up on other comments made); the invite is of course open to all who want to go
