    I'm best at 100 or 200 metres and even that isn't brill, I was a 400 and 800m runner at school. The only reason I got to run the 800 was because nobody else wanted to do it.

    I'm more of an enthusiasic rather than talented runner!

    Reminds me of when i was at school - I did the 800m, 1500m, and cross-country races for school because they weren't hugely popular!

    I'm not a very good runner, but I really enjoy 10Ks, and did my first half marathon this year to see if I could manage one!  I'll definitely be doing another. 

    I'd like to do a marathon, and I think I have the mental power for it, but I'm not sure my knees would be up to it!  Also not sure I want to spend more time away from my family while training for one.

    Dear liverbird, I can get the God you're mental look here for any distance from 3 miles upwards! Maybe it's my age...

    I did the Tanners 30 at age 16. That was a looooong time ago!

    Favourite distance was for years 25km but the IAAF took that off the official race distances back in the 80s. Now there's only the odd one or two trail race, did one last Saturday. But nowadays my distance is the 226!
