I hate expensive races as there are two of us so it makes everything twice the price. I’m a bit too much of a chicken to risk myself on the fells but yeah super value. @Sorequads I’ve signed up for the September Worcester half. Did you know it’s a qualifier for England Masters half marathon ? I’m sure you will meet the qualification requirement for entry - worth a try ? It’s free to enter. |

@Muddyfunster I hadn't realised the September city centre race was a masters qualifier. I had a quick look at those entered so far and filtered by V40: Some pretty rapid PBs from the only three signed up at this early stage! Have you done it before? It is a good race from a perspective of support and seeing the sights of Worcester. But I found the middle section an absolute pain with so many twists and turns and even a random bit up and around a library, over a little linking bridge and through the bus station 😂. Will consider it though. I did enter the equivalent at the 'short course trail' masters equivalent at the Forest of Dean Half. Think I came 8th in my age category of all entrants, and 5th of those electing to sign up to the masters thing. Have you tried one before? If I lived near the feels, @Curly45, I'd be all over those. Enjoy Sunday. Big weekend incoming, @Foppotee! |

@Sorequads My pb isn't listed there because for me it's not relevant as it comes from more than 5 years ago. Perhaps people are putting ancient pbs in there? The SBs that are there going to be better guidance as to whether you're in with a shout. I qualified when I was a v45 and that put me through to the team event at Maidenhead half, although I was very sick in the run up to it and could only jog round in 1.24-ish. I haven't run the Worcester city course before but the logistics are very convenient as it's a half hour or so drive from home. I know the city pretty well already as I work nearby so I'll be doing it mainly for the vibes and just to see what I've got at the masters level. I haven't raced a half since pre-injury issues around March 2020 (and that was a marathon pace rehearsal) I'm also looking at the Wyre Forest Trail half end of June which I've done several times and is also one of my favourite hikes around here. |

@Foppotee Yep that's exactly - the 3000m is on the same course apparently. it's on 20th June. Should be a right laugh. Love doing these hipster races like the one I did on the go kart track under Canary wharf  I watched the whole video - is this guy quite good? How would you get on in it? Was a Category 3/4 race or something. @Sorequads Solid half times there from the V40's entrants, but not spectacular tbh for a masters qualifier. Would expect a few sub 70's from that age group. |
