So this bloke got a place this year and I didn't.............. One of the plodders on Sunday will be Michael Ward, a 46-year-old antique dealer from Bromley, Kent. Ward is unusual in that he has done absolutely no training for the event. "I haven't even tried on a pair of shorts yet," he says. "I just haven't had any time…
Cheers, thanks Snowwy. I stopped going to the club last summer after the consultant told me my knees were shot. I used to run early of an evening and run or race at weekends. I still cycle and did the Handicap 10 route last Sunday in 46 mins on my old mountain bike. I like to walk on Sundays too (not just past your house…
Cheers Al, even happier this morning. Thought I'd missed out on a course best by a couple of seconds, tunrs out I've beaten it by 3 seconds. Was 37:49 in 2002, managed 37:46 last night - Extra coffee this morning to celebrate me thinks!! - CU at the half Debstir, Well done on last night and your right, the hills get worse…
RRR, The Mum's group consistw of two of us who go for a run rather than sit in the club room and wait for our kids. To give you an idea of pace I did the RH half marathon on Sunday in 2:46 - so we are sloow. We generally run for about 50 minutes, around about 6K. It is not really a club for people that slow, but some folk…
Hi Schnecke sub 2.30 ah,, Know i won't rush to join in that zone ... lol lol I'm sorry, but i had to laugh at the way you wrote it !! If Phil and i are more than 1.50 ish, it'll be bliddy hilly, and i can't see that around there !! I'm hoping for sub sub 1.50 believe me i ain't going there to look at it Your talking to…
Morning all, Clearly going to the pub and not sitting in front of my PC all night means I miss out on the excitment. Still, something to read at lunch today, by the look of things! What: rest Why: Friday and 10K on Sunday Last hard: Wed Last rest: Mon minks - I must have been on a different planet when I said I might do…
Does depend on size of club, we have 46 and have one place. We are going to put any rejection slips in a hat and draw out one for the place, with one or two reserves because the place is transferable. Its not fair to expect a club place if you only join at the last minute to get in the FLM though. I would try a few local…
Good morning! Just off to Northern 12 stage...LMH, I may be gone somee time too! Mind you, that's because of marshalling...race starts at 11.30 so I doubt if the slowest team over the 46 or so miles will finish much before 4.30! Blisters: you've just got time to nip up here and do a leg in your bid for fitness and to eye…
Hi Keiron How did you do this morning? I kept an eye out for you but wasnt sure who you was tbh? I think I finished about 75th or somewhere in 46 and a bit mins I started at the back with the other veterans so i was very pleased with that Would love to do Valentines Park but have the kids to contend with next week. Looking…
Thanks Drew, there were some very good performances at Leeds - have enjoyed following peoples reports. I missed out on London this year - combination of injury and fatigue (on the morning of the FLM was coaxing myself back into doing some hill work near Bromley in Kent, could see in the distance the helicopters, hovering…
