Haworth Hobble

[Graham Breeze]

A friend told me ‘run as hard as you can for as long as you can. Then hang on’

Are you sure he didn't actually say "Then accelerate"?

I’m sure Graham. I remember the conversation very clearly. Plus your suggestion is madness

OK but is that the same kind of madness that prompts one to enter in the first place or a different variety?

(And you can always run harder if a rival tries to pass you).

Running harder if a rival tries to pass you is okay (isn’t that a kind of definition of ‘racing’)

Entry for the Hobble is def. closed.

@DT and Graham Breeze: how about start of as fast as you think you can maintain for the full race. keep re-assessing this. then if towards the end you can go faster that's a bonus. if you can maintain it all the way but can't go faster you've probably paced it perfectly!

Bit...well...professional isn't it? Hardly in the spirit of Chariots of Fire

Compulsory tactic is whatever you do, make sure you can still manage a sprint finish for the crowds from Haworth Church to the finish. Even if you have walked most of the way from Heptonstall….!
