Anyone else fancy doing this one?

SHADES · January 2005

Hi Norma - I expect I'll be there. Nice race.

Crash Hamster · January 2005

Entry form's in...

[Deleted User] · January 2005

Hello, I am in. Also Rhayader 20 two weeks later.

T Rex · January 2005

What about Ashby 20 in between?

[Deleted User] · January 2005

Glad to see that I won't be doing this one on my own! Entry form went in the post today.

Hello Shades - be good to see you again. I'll almost certainly be at the GWR again too (1st May?)

SHADES · January 2005

Hi Norma - i expect I shall do GWR again too. are you doing FLM? (hence wanting to do Glos 20)

[Deleted User] · January 2005

That's the plan - managed to get a club place after missing out in the ballot again. It'll be my 2nd marathon....

SHADES · January 2005

Norma - Good for you, will we fight it out in the last mile again?

[Deleted User] · January 2005

You'll definitely win!
I still only have one speed, and that's a slow plod...

SHADES · January 2005

I may be running round with my marathon trainees, will know nearer the time what pace that will be, you're welcome to run with us.

[Deleted User] · February 2005

Hello

Lovely race, quiet rural roads. Out section, then 2 laps and back, but the finish is not all the way back to the start point.
Flat, couple of small undulations. Very reasonable entry fee (£7).

Nice friendly marshalls good race organisation.

I'm doing this one too. It's a great course and lovely home made cakes at the end.

Will be doing it slow and steady with my heart rate monitor on (have turned into a HRM bore)

Did it in 3.14 last year and would be more than happy with a similar time this year but just going to enjoy the run and not worry about it.

SHADES · February 2005

Cakes, yummy.

jw in bristle · February 2005

group of us heading up from bristol as part of FLM training, well organised event, so am a regular

RFJ · February 2005

Greetings,

Got my number back, like JW, there are several from our club coming over for this one. Looking forwards to it.

Enjoy:-)

[Deleted User] · February 2005

I usually go....like everyone says, it's a nice race.

But this year I have Rome marathon on 13th March so it doesn't fit to do a 20 the week before...I'm doing Reading half instead.

I'll be back to the Gloucs 20 next year

[Deleted User] · February 2005

I will be there for this one and maybe in rhayader 2 weeks later

[Deleted User] · February 2005

My form's in the post then,

Tell me more about the cakes!

[Deleted User] · February 2005

Very tempted as this is on my patch & would be useful for the final stages of my flm training

SHADES · February 2005

BRT - go on, it's a fab event. A good training run with drinks provided.

[Deleted User] · February 2005

silly question time shades !where do i get the entry form ???

I can also help with suggestions for hotels , B & B's etc if anyone needs any info just give me a shout & i will gladly point you the direction of some damn fine & some not fine if needed places to stop !!!

SHADES · February 2005

BRT - I think it's Glos AC website, no on line entries though so good old snail mail. Probably a link to their website via the Events section on this website.

I'll be driving up on the day, only about 100 miles from me.

[Deleted User] · February 2005

Shades it is indeed on their web site.
4 hr time limit & having not yet run anything near this distance i am not sure if i would make it round in time.

[Deleted User] · February 2005

Just posted my form.

See you there.

[Deleted User] · February 2005

BRT - I'll only be just inside the cut off. There are likely to be a few others, I think.

SHADES · February 2005

BRT - they won't pull you off the course unless you are hours behind the cut off time. Have you done a half marathon recently?

[Deleted User] · February 2005

K2 -i dont even know if i would be just inside the cut off or not yet

[Deleted User] · February 2005

Shades-never run more than 8 miles in one hit quite new to this game.I am following the rw 14 programme(which i picked up at week 4 because i was well above weeks 1-3)i am now on week 7 i have my 1st 10k at bourton on the water this weekend !was that a "you must be mad if you think you will make it around the flm" you were about to post then ??????

SHADES · February 2005

BRT - no I wasn't, but I would expect your longer run to have been more than 8 miles by now. My marathon trainees (all first timers) are on 15 miles and slightly behind schedule but not seriously so. they'll do an 18 miler training run and then a 20 mile race on either the 6th (Glos) or 13th (Duchy) and maybe one long run after that.

What's the longest run planned on your schedule?

Howdy, Stranger!
