Hello Valentinees
Its nearly Christmas and that means you know whether you are in or out for FLM 2007 - hope you were successful in the ballot. If you are planning to run round the streets of London in April, you will find this race a fantastic event to gauge how your training is going and to give you something intermediate to aim for.
And this year, we are honoured and pleased to announce (you've heard it here first) that 5 of the Runners World pacers who will be doing FLM are running the 30K St Valentines event - there will be a pace group from 7min/mile to 11 min/mile. So this will provide you were the perfect opportunity to test out your pacing if you wish.
Have a good Christmas everyone and hope to see you in Stamford in February.

And a very very big thank you to everyone who ran in 2006 and voted for the race on Runners World. We are delighted to see the race move from 80th in 2005 to 66th in 2006 in the Runners World Top 100 UK races. So thanks to you all, and to everyone from the club and the town of Stamford who helps to make the race so successful.
Love Running..... Love the 30K.
See you in next month hopefully.
Don't forget we have no entries on the day this year so get your entry in soon.
Best of luck to the pacers - if they can run an even pace at Stamford, they'll.... well, atually, they'll completely stuff it up at London.
Looks like I might be fit for this one again. Top race. :-)

Puffed sleeves and pink lace edging are extra (sequins optional).
I did this as my first ever race in 2005. It was great for 25K then I thought the world had fallen in on me! So I'm looking forward to doing it again this year - and feeling better at the finish - and hoping that it's not as windy:)
what pace will the pacemakers be going at and will they make allowance for the ups and downs or stay at the same pace all the time.
It would be nice to say hello to you all on the day but how will recognise each other?
M Heal - in other races people from the forum have done things like wear green ribbon on your shirt to identify each other and/or have a meeting point (usually a pub after!)
I had built up to 17 miles by the end of nov then did a HM mid dec in which my ITB flared up again. I had a few fustrating weeks of only being able to run a few miles but have now been able to increase that slowely. Thur last week I did 8.5 then yesterday 10.7 miles without any probs. I have worked out that if I add 2 miles each week I should be there in time but am wondering if it is sensible to add 2 miles each week as a lot of schedules have a few weeks increasing then an easy week.
the sensible part of me is saying dont do it as FLM is most important but maybe I am being over cautiuos. Another option would be to increase by a bit more than 2 miles each week then I can fit in an easy week?

had been chopping and changing my mind over this and more or less decided not to but then last night thought I would see how my LR went this weekend then decide. looks like the decision has been taken out of my hands
In the meantime, I have place in the Stamford 30k going begging. Is it possible / allowed to transfer this to someone else? If so, if anyone would like my place, please just say so

Hopefully I'm completely wrong, but it would be a great shame to change the character of the race - it's a real gem.
