Well done on your PB, what was your finish time?
As you say great running conditions, but bl**dy freezing and a nasty cold breeze, but not gusting or strong so very pleased with conditions. The course was good and like you I didn't find it boring at all. I do tend to favour a bit more variation though as flat races like that cause me tiredness from running the same pace, I could've done with just a small undualation to alter the stress from one area to another.
Had a real good run and was well chuffed with a pb 0f 2 mins 8 secs finishing in 68:02, just missed the sub 68 even though I sprinted for the line! Happy though:o)
There was one girl running in crop top and race shorts, now she was brave, oh and superfast!:o)
Both of you so talented and modest - that's the sort of people I admire.
Today was a very strong field of women. I finsihed 17th overall and 6th in the 35-45 age group. The first ver lady did it in 61 mins, puts my run into perspective I think!:o)
Were you racing or training today Jane?
I think the walk back to the school chilled me to the bone:o)
17th overall, that it is fantaaaaaaastic hilly. There were certainly some fast ladies today, I would call them youngsters! My result is shown as L45yrs! What a pity that they couldn't have raised it to L55 at least. They only gave 2 over 45yr prizes to the Ladies as it was.
17th in the ladies not the whole field mind!
I thought the prize structure was a bit poor and agree they should have had a L55, especially in a race that size!
Did you stay for prize giving? I had a hot drink and a ham roll, then we left as friends were driving.
I was only saying this am while out running that I would love to see the UK rankings and now I have altho' they will have changed somewhat since my race. Anyhow, I'm still so chuffed to see that my time has put me in the the list. From now on I will avidly read your advice to people!
Hilly - congratulations on your PB - I'm sure it will continue to go down - nothing like a PB to give you confidence.
Ceal would love your time
Jane-good mileage and sounds like a character building one into the wind!
mobile phone numbers. Next time we must make sure we do that.
Incidentially re your telling me 3.44 marathon could be on for me, well I find that too scarey to even contemplate, although I cannot put it off forever. Actually, my 10 mile should be faster according to race predictions from my new 10k time of 47.39. But I have not really trained properly for a 10 mile race, that my excuse anyway:-))
Yes, we must make sure we meet next time with swapping mobile nos.
Hilly, Ceal, and many others Yippeeeeee!
Have been a bit out of things for the last week as we're moving office at the moment and BT ceased our Broadband and won't be back on line for a few more days yet - I have to keep popping home to get on line.
For those who asked way back - we should be starting the FLM Hard training thread for this Sunday since runners are just finding out if they got accepted or rejected.
Look forward to the FLM Hard training thread, it should be a real success!
Hope the office move isn't too stressful!:o)
I hope that will work FAS. However, the only rankings that you can view online are the 10 mile rankings, you will see a web addreess for this. All the other rankings are compiled yearly and one has to send SAE + £2.50 and wait for them to be sent to you.
