The voting has officially closed, there is nothing more I or we can do. The last 7 days has been amazing, I have been overwhelmed by the support I’ve received from everyone. If my journey stops here then I am still going to look at this as such a positive experience and my hope is that I have inspired someone (hopefully a…
Tiny - sorry I went AWOL. Just couldn't keep up with all the threads I was following. Like Shredded Wheat, 3 was just one too many. In fact, in the end two were a struggle! Anyway, in case I don't call here before Sunday I just want to wish you a massive heap load of luck. You've been a total star and fully deserve to make…
Hi Runnersworld community ! I was one of the 50 lucky participants at Bootcamp yesterday... It really was an incredible experience! I only took up running inside the last year with a group of friends embarking on a ludicrous run streak. 4 of us are still going strong after 223 consecutive days, covering a minimum daily…
Hello all. I'm hoping for some advice.

I'm not a regular contributor to this forum, but I am to another on the more sedate sport of…
Hi, this is the beginning of my journey. The first steps toward my goal of the so far elusive sub 3.00 hour marathon. I am trying to tread carefully, listen to the advice of the expert team and be more aware, conscious and cognitive, cos usually I am like a bull in a china shop. Charge out and run without the thought or…

I'm happy to have cereal for breakfast. I've just bought some fruit and fibre ready for the new school term. I'm happy to have…

Had a great session at the asics262 bootcamp yesterday with Mara Yamauchi. Was a bit star struck meeting such a celebrity Thought I'll share some of what she covered. She talked about nutrition and running. When she discussed nutrition, there's nothing 'new' or high tech about the whole thing, but it just makes so much…

Well what an amazing journey so far. I cannot thank everyone enough for the support. I look forward to representing the Sub 4 category. Every time I write Sub 4, I begin to sweat! Over the coming months I will use this thread to track my journey to Paris in April. Having never run a marathon before, I do not want to…
