yes, i see what you mean, FF. are there any championships attached to the 4 Villages event this year? would have thought they'd require the course to be exactly measured but i don't know.
i`ve ran the last 4 years,the last 3 yrs wearing a garmin and its always come out at 13.1 spot on.
it is quite hilly and the country roads can be a real bugger if icy,i reckon its a great race with a very high quality field,1;22;20 in 2007 only got me 69th place
I sent off an entry last week but I'm not on the confirmed list yet I so want to do this race. Deep down I associate it with happier times, and I'm ready for them back. Hell they are back, but you know what I mean.
I`m on the confirmed list,this will be my first Four Villages and wondering what to expect? Any hints on training for this one,I did the L`pool half this year in 1.50 hoping to be a little quicker than that.

Isn't
<FF goes off to search the forums for a famous WW quote from a few years back!!>
Can't find it but it went something like:-
"Flat my arse".
Thats the one.
Morning Rob hows things.
Even I remember 'flat my arse'
It is flat save for two small and short hills. And anyway the uphills are compensated for by a long downhill finish.
It's a great course - as long as it isn't snowing...

It cant be THAT hilly, i did 2.25 with brinchitis, and you know how slow I am

and i remember a very icy morning for the 4 Villages - i reckon it would have been cancelled except for 1800 runners waiting for the off

still not on the list and cheque not cashed. WTF??
Am planning a trip up to Helsby to drive the course. In fact I might even run it. If anyone wants to join in please say and we'll fix a date.
Noticed that Cougie isn't on the list either !!
Bu$$er, Tho I am, But they haven't cashed the cheque yet
Hi all, I've sent off to do this one it will be my 3rd year if i get in.
I'm not on the confirmed list and i think it may be because i never put in a stamped addressed envelope. was i supposed to?
Only person with your surname is even older than Me, Cougie !!!
Unless there is something you want to come clean about
Cougie, Dave........did you enclose a S.A.E ?
oh, good.
I should be ok then.
Thanks.
*slopes off to look at confirmed entries' list*
Nah you don't smell... But what you are proposing sounds like training ? and that would never do !!!
Also as I live within 500 yds of the route, I know it well enough to know where all the hills are
