Runner's World 15-Mile Training Run, Richmond Park

[Deleted User] · December 2003

I'll definately be over for this one. Looks like most of my marathon training will be done alone again this year so it'll be great to meet up again with forum peeps for a run!

snap. determined to actually do some proper preparation for FLM this year, so shall be there too.

btw does anybody know if shops in richmond are open on Sundays ? H.I.D. will come along but she's not a fan of longer distances so would probably like to shop while I run . or any decent touristy things to do ? cheers vm

Meeting point is nearer Kingston than Richmond, which is definitely open Sundays.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Richmond is open too but be careful as there are some expensive shops there!!... oh and I'll be there on the sunday running!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

thanks...I'll try to keep her out of the pricey shops!

I'm in the 9.30/mile group - anybody else going for that one too ?

[Deleted User] · December 2003

I'll be a bit further back in the 10.30/mile sub 4.30 group.

Hiya Spans!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Hi Rach

Shame this has to clash with Bramley 20

[Deleted User] · December 2003

not been shopping in richmond... but plenty to do in kingston

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Think I'm going to do Bramley rather than this. A shame - it was good fun last year, although the "pacing" was all over the place (in my group at least).

[Deleted User] · December 2003

agree with venom-last years pacing was very yo-yo one minute I was struggling to keep up, the next I was struggling to run slow enough.

but a great run never the less.

wont be there this year as I have already booked all my pre mara races in.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Not in FLM (or not yet anyway), but I might do this as I usually run in RP on a Sunday morning.

Reading half the week after, and my (Hal Higdon's) training schedule calls for a 2 hour run. So, I'll be in the 8 min/mile group.

Don Minquez · December 2003

Up for this one!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

.... and the Cheeser...

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Put my name down....hopefully i'll be around.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Ok have entered Suffolk and myself - flip haven't run since Brighton.

Suffolk Punch · December 2003

I see.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

oh no I didn't realise that they clash... bother will be at Bramley!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Good choice Spans!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Just booked this one. I do all my running on my own so it will be great to run with others.

I have booked this one
Silverstone
2o miler as well

Like the fact that its free as well. These runs add up very quickly. Getting expensive this running lark, esp. as I got lots of fundraising as well.

I'm booked in the Reading half marathon the following week. Do you think this will be too much?(I'm aiming for a sub 5hr london marathon)

Snoop Dogg · December 2003

not if you're hoping to run a Spring marathon - you should be up to this level, and beyond, by this time of the year.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Good point Snoop Dogg. On that basis, I've entered.(sub 4:30)

Don Minquez · December 2003

If there's anyone out there who would like to train with me for a sub 3:45 ish marathon and is SW London based, it'd be good to have a training partner for those longer slogs!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

sorry Jon but you are too slow for me!!!

Don Minquez · December 2003

Perhaps sub 3:40 then... grrrrrrrrrr.

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Looks very good, this. However, as I do not drive a car (in the interest of the road safety statistics) I would like to know if this be reached by public transport (from Central London) What would be the nearest tube station?
Alternatively, if some good soul is planning to drive to this event from West London (perhaps W12/W6/W3), and willing to give a lift, that would help as well ...

Cheers,
Bart

Don Minquez · December 2003

From Hammersmith ya should be able to get a bus. or get the District line to Richmond?

[Deleted User] · December 2003

you would be best to get a train to Kingston and then a bus to Kingtson Bridge as it is a long walk across the park from Richmond... in fact it is a long walk from any train station... sorry I can't be of any further help...

3:40? still too slow Jon, sorry!

Don Minquez · December 2003

Right... Grrrrrrrrr... 3:35?! How fast are ya planning on going!

Oh I get it! It's me innit? you don't like me!

[Deleted User] · December 2003

Jon, There's an FLM thread for Sunday runs in Richmond Park.

Pace wise there's a few of us in the 3:30 t0 4:00 boat.

Where else would you be doing the long runs if you live SW?

Don Minquez · December 2003

Live in Tooting.... Ta for the advice matey!

Howdy, Stranger!
