I decided against trying to train for a marathon after the L50 - just couldn’t get my head around long road runs.
Glad I did as Covid has cought up with me this week.

I've converted to Virtual lin - can be done any time in October. Can't say it's looking likely though :-(

I’ve had problems with PF most of the year so won’t be running, lin.

I dropped out - various injuries and covid in July so decided to give it a miss. Think I will have to stick to shorter races these days!

I've had to drop out too - picked up a dodgy hip in my old age.

Oh dear, list is now a bit short! And I'm not sure that GimmeMedals is doing it either.

I do have maravan in November but that is looking unlikely too so won't add it just yet

Sorry to hear so many DNS's from the original list. Hope those injured recover soon.

I have a marathon this weekend at Barnstaple 😀

I've given my place away. I wasn't enjoying the training so didn't do any.

About This Thread

Maintained by minardi
We've all seen the sub 3hr, sub 4hr, sub 4.30hr threads and looked on in awe. I'm now at the age when I'm happy just to see the finish line, regardless of time taken.

So this is a thread to celebrate the finish line, not the finish time.

All welcome!
