I have heard from 2 sources now 4th oct, both know people at vmlm.
Ashby cancelled I've been told as the medics were pulled away to be in hospital. Surprised Bath don't have same.
11.36 today WRU e-mail saying game on tomorrow. just after 2pm, it's off.
DT was right. London off until 4th October...
9/14 Boston Marathon
9/20 Brighton Marathon
9/27 Berlin Marathon
10/4 London Marathon
10/11 Chicago Marathon
10/18 Abingdon Marathon
10/25 Barcelona Marathon
11/1 New York City Marathon
Still not running, why is swimming so TEDIOUS!!!
Probably clutching at straws to hope Newport will go ahead and I'm not sure I can be bothered with Shakespeare even if it went ahead. Perhaps Edinburgh will save the day!
12.5 miles progressive run late afternoon, finishing with 1K at 4:00 pace and 1K at 3:50 pace. Heart rate still very high for the effort but no sign of any illness yet. Tempted to give Bath a miss but will see how I feel tomorrow.
I think what this means with all the big spring maras gone, london gfa times for 2021 will be the times stated as by the time they are run in October gfa applications will be long closed.
It's all about who has had the opportunity to run a time, not slow times pulling things back in line.
Mass events are about to get banned. We'll see if smaller races still go ahead.
Im not running my half on sunday, im not comfotable with a 3000 runners race going on, and being a possible spreader, theres folks in my immediate family that would be in grave danger if they catch it.
Manchester is the biggest regret for me as my whole family trained for it. My poor wife ran 20 miles last Sunday, the furthest in her life.
Nice to hear from you Poacher.
I checked the GFA times and criteria earlier this week. 3.01 should see me OK for 2021. Will need a GFA in October to carry the trend forward.
Extraordinary day.
Good luck to DT and others negotiating back to back attempts. In 2017 I had Boston on Monday but after running it in a heatwave, I deferred London the following Sunday. Just as well, a 5k recovery that day showed my legs were still mashed.
Huge shame for your wife, oo.
I see Fleet has cancelled but Bath is hanging in there resolutely
Yes Fleet is off now, they were getting pressured, id decided i was going to miss it, as i felt more comfortable misding it than running it. We'll see re smaller races in the coming weeks and months.
Stratford have just cancelled their half and mara. only Newport stands i believe.
Long Sutton still on tomorrow. Only 96 runners (plus 100 odd in 10k race).
Take care everyone. Hope you're not too disappointed. It's only running I guess.
Bath currently going ahead but a LOT of backlash for the decision to carry on. It'll be a weird one for sure as many people are dropping out, spectators will be much less than usual and there could even be some anti-supporters from the community making their voices heard (probably from a distance).
And it's going to rain. I'm still running it but not sure if I'll stick to my long run plan or race it now. I pulled my Newport place and got a refund in anticipation of them postponing it; as if they do I'll be back onto Boston at that time; if they don't I can just re-enter.
EDIT - just after I posted this, Newport announced postponement. Maybe tomorrow is a race day after all.
Great parkrun time OO
Update from Long Sutton. No indoor facilities now. No starting pens/funnel but rolling start instead. Leave as soon as you can after finishing. Chip timing for positions. More of a time trial than a race!
Oh and high winds and rain
