Thundermonkey Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 By the time he looked into it the marathon was closed. It would have been lunacy.

true_rover Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wasn't expecting the letters to be out for another couple of weeks, nervous for what's there when I get home now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think it is about 10/1 or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have applied 5 years in a row and hee haw so far. Think Thundermonkey has had about 10 attempts without getting in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Managed another 13km last night, about 30 seconds faster than on Saturday. Feel fairly comfortable and could have managed a bit more, but it was pitch black by the time I got back towards the house so decided to call it quits. Will see if I can manage 15km on Saturday and add in a hill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Bloody hell. I won't bother applying then! Not that I could do a marathon anyway. Managed another quarter marathon last night in preparation for the the GSR at the weekend. Did it in a decent time, but now my kneecap feels rather shoogly, so I might have to give the Nike run a miss tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenzie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Kenzie; that's a brilliant time, well done! The sunglasses makes me a bit surer I saw you then - were you wearing green under the Macmillan top? Should've taken the chance of making a tit out of myself. That really is some time on that course. Cheers mate. Yeah, that was me, I realise I said Marie Curie before, getting my charities mixed up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 You doing the 10k or Half mate? Half marathon Bishy. Knee is alright, I just didn't think it I should risk it if it wasn't feeling 100%. Hopeful to get under 2 hours. What time are you aiming for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Quite right. No point risking it at this late stage. I will be happy with anything under 1 hr 25 mins. Have done 1 hr 26 mins dead in training, so should be doable. Guaranteed a pb regardless (barring injury) as my current Half Marathon time is 1hr 45 mins+. Good luck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Good Luch bishy, that is some time improvment. Thanks. Although tbh it was 3 years ago and I was doing 5k in about 21 mins then rather than the 18 mins or less I do them in now. So the difference in pace is not exactly surprising! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co.Down Hibee Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Apparently it is the 10th anniversary of the Parkrun UK this morning ,the first one was ran by 13 people in some place called Bushy Park. Amazing phenomanan now right enough. To celebrate we had cake at our local run, also they are trying to arrange a fancy dress run for the 1st November. It's become a real community event in out town , whats it like in the local ones to all the P&B runners?

BBC Breakfast had a fair-sized feature on parkrunning this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
