  You are correct Screamapillar. It was Stu who went a bit crazy. He even started sending me private messages sling me to stop commenting on the thread.

  Most hot air: Samir?

  Most helpful Forumites: Cougie and Fat Buddha.

  ffs - I must be getting old if I'm thought of as helpful. I used to be a rebel y'know....

  You two almost always reply to the newbies and give really helpful friendly advice rather than just pissing on them.

  I like to think that they are getting a wet shoe at the same time as I'm helping....

  In fairness I think the "taking loads of crap off of everyone, but still coming back for more" award would go to Samir.  

  Is there any debate about what has been the best thread?  If not, is there a sub-category of award for "best moment within the Team GB thread"?  I must confess, Samir saying something like "I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but with a gold medal around my neck" made be laugh

  Best Dressed Forumite  = PhilPub and those red shorts.

  Best Chef = Phil again, judging by the photos.

  Most Incontinent Forumite = That Lars Anya bloke.

  Forumite with greatest expectation to disappointment ratio = DF3 (as was) and his first marathon.

  Forumite with least knowledge of tomatoes = Karen Samuel

  Didn't Mike pop back in on one thread and owned up to being embarrassed about his posts and that he now posts on RW USA?

  Got to admit some of the responses on this thread are hilarious.

  Tom, I was in the same boat as you a year ago, except I had even loftier ambitions; take gold in rio, it took me 3-4 months to realise how stupid I sounded and tbh wish I never made that thread. I am running the Great North Run in September and my target is a sub 1:25, deep down I want a 1:20 but I need to run a 5k in around 17 flat within the next 3 months; which is highly unlikely.

  I am not the most experienced runner ofc, however over the past year ive done research and talked to some fast runners about what it takes to become even a contender at local races, the advice offered here is sound and you should not ignore it like I did, i'd be suprised if you could run a sub 1:30 in 15 weeks time nevermind a 1:10 (have you changed your goal? I haven't read all the recent posts but I get the impression you have)

  Good luck in your half marathon mate.
