<shakes wet fur all over the mooninhippo> :-)))))
Right
seriously
Im going to keep lurkin here for a date for the half
and then the marathon
On behalf of everyone who, when asked their opinion, stated that they thought a marathon in Liverpool during August would be a bad idea - I apologise.
I did not realise that this thread was exclusively intended for elitist runners who look down with distain on anyone that isn't interested in running 10 marathons per year plus.
Excuse me while I look for the ">35 minutes for a 10k only" forum.
By the way, just cos we run/walk a lot it does not make us elitist and we all started with just one or two Marathons a year!
Can we call a truce please?
I don't know why it is not on unless Flora have pulled out. Is Silverstone off too I wonder.
Pam - Do ya know Keith Sinclair?
i luv ya really
Of course we can call a truce !
Surely these forums are all about people voicing their differences (well, maybe not ALL about, but partly about!)
I think the point here is that we all run for different reasons. Personally, I don't train for races, I race to keep me training.If I wasn't preparing for a race I would end up not running at all. I plan in 3 or 4 10ks, a couple of halfs and a marathon per year, although I'm considering upping to 2 marathons. Some people just want to race and training is a means of getting them there, while others don't like racing at all. Our differences don't make us better or worse runners, just different - and how boring would life be if we were all the same?
Great, everyone's all smiles again!
Hope to meet you one day, you are probably a much better runner than I am!
I'm glad that FLM aren't organising the Liverpool Half, as long as someone else does. As a Formula One fan I always want to run around Silverstone, but being on Merseyside can't really justify travelling that far for a half on the same day as one so close.
The FLM mag for next year has an ad for Silverstone, but makes no mention of Liverpool - therefore most people are assuming that they will not be having anything to do with it.
I very much doubt I'm a better runner than you ,but I'm sure one day our paths will cross - if you hang around the finish line long enough for me to get to it!
Now a Liverpool 1/2, that would be a good idea. Sometime around March would be a good time to hold it for peoples marathon preparations!
(Alan Rothwell please take note !!)
I don't know if any of you have run the Potteries Marathon (now no longer run), but that was always held in June, and consistently attracted large fields. It was also a very hilly and challenging course, but that did not seem to put runners off.
I only ran it the once, as I live in the south, but had no problems at all with the weather.
you will make me CRY
that marathon was wonderful
The fields now consist mainly of local runners, who haven't bothered to train much and are causing problems with the police wishing to reopen the roads. It appears that most of the previous marathon runners are giving the half a miss.
I regret now, only running the marathon once. It was so well organised, and the crowd support was fantastic.
just dont
sob!
i did it twice
wovo mara, whils a nion scenic course, has groomed its locals mind
