The wife's starred again - off to bed trolleyed early doors :)
Been thinking of doing the Wilmslow Half and entries are still open so may give that one a shot. The Helsby 4 Villages is the next Half mara for me.Quote:

I'll check UK Results fixtures. don't want anything high profile. Great North or London would do nothing for me at all.
i like it cause it's were i ran my PB :DQuote:

No! No! No! They just cause injuries. You want less cushioning, not more.Quote:

Agree with you the London Marathon does nowt for me at all. Although I do fancy having a crack at full Mara at some point.
Shoes will always be a personal thing. Use what works for you. Mine or anyone elses reccomendation may not be your cup of tea Al.
True yeah, i think my best bet is to pop down to sweatshop and say "help please" :DQuote:

Ady if you do go for a road race for god's sake go for an interesting one. I've really enjoyed the Coniston 14 and the Great Langdale half and would do the latter as a marathon given a choice. Well either that or one of these:Quote:

Most road races are flat as arseholes and all about pbs rather than experiencing the countryside. Just think of all the city centre 10K's on offer :rolleyes:
I won't be turning into a clock watching tarmac pounder Stolly!! Just want some longer races both on and off the fells to get me ready for major pain :)
The Wilmslow Half is a bit steep in price £23.60 for a road race mind you I suppose most are in this bracket now.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!That's over £1/mile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:Quote:
