Still building mileage? There's a 26 mile training run from Heptonstall on Sunday (about 20 of us running) - following the route of the 6 Trigs / Mag 7.
Mixture of Tod Harriers and CVFR plus a load of forumites from various clubs - all welcome.
See Mag 7 thread if you're interested.
Turbo Tom - I have sent you a PM.
What trainers should I wear?
Are innov-8s value for money?
Why is it classed as an A race?
How come it's now measured in metric units?
If it gets dark can anyone recommend a decent head torch?
Can I get away with pertex?
If there's a queue for a stile can I jump over a wall?
Will deep knee squats help my training?
and can someone pick up my discarded gel wrappers?
;)
My navigation's crap, if i keep going forward, will i reach the finish?Quote:

Just gunna keep crying myself to sleep at night and hope it gets better!
"What trainers should I wear?" Inov-8 Roclite 315
"Are innov-8s value for money?" NO!
"Why is it classed as an A race?" Cos it's hard!
Work gets in the way, as does doing my house up and looking after a 12 year old half the week.Quote:

How will you cope when you join the real world. Lol:p;)
I have an entry for anyone who needs one. I'm not fit enough to walk round this at present!
Sent you a PM Jack.
Is anyone else having trouble pre-ordering the Souvenir T Shirt on the sportident website. I've logged -in but can't seem to be able to order the shirt.:closed: If all else fails I'll just order it by post but I wanted to pick it up on the day, and the only way to do that is through the sportident website.
yes,it won't work will it.Quote:

You have a pub in the walking capital of North Yorks. what do you get, signs all over the pub. Don't do this,don't do that , do not dare to enjoy yourself in my showpeice pub. He will no doubt happily take your money on 3P day though. He won't be taking mine ,I,ll go to the Lion down the road. This snooty pub has always been the same
Did you guys manage to work out where PYG was? ;)Quote:

I'll be having a good go next year I reckon.
Anyone got an entry spare or know where i could get one please.....
Is is wise to do anniversary waltz the week before or should I be tapering?
Maggie - I did it in 2008 with a week between and was fine. It was actually my fastest of my 3 PPP runs.
I'm doing AW again this year before the Peaks.
For your info I'm just a steady fell plodder who typically gets by of 20 odd miles per week who will get around AW in about 2:30 and PPP in about 4:50

What drinks are supplied at the drinks stations? I hate carrying bottles but very nearly bonked at Edale recently and planning how to avoid it occuring next week. Realise you can send drinks to Ribblehead and Hill Inn but not sure how easy it'll be to find mine and was wondering what the standard drinks are.....I'm guessing it's adams ale!
I sent drinks last year for the first time and found them no problem - just label them up well. You can also tape gels or bananas to them as well.
They have water as well at various points.
I still carry a bit for emergencies mind you:)
I didn't last year but really regretted it and by Ingleborough was absolutely parched! I'm considering sending drinks ahead but I think I'll wait to see what the weather's doing - if it's hot and sunny I definitely will.Quote:

Maggie I've decided definitely not, even though I'll be there at the AW to support the juniors. I have to save my knees now - they are feeling it after a long run yesterday and won't recover in time if I race that one too.Quote:

They usually lay the bottles out in numerical order so as they spot a runner coming towards the feed station they easily find your bottle and hand it to you without you even thinking about it, it was great, and all with a nice smile,Quote:

Now there is less than a week to go I'm just beginning to get a little concerned that I can't find the race entry list (with race numbers etc.) on the 3 Peaks website - just previous years ones. Am I doing something wrong, or is the list not yet available - the website says: "Entry details to the 58th Three Peaks Race will be available here shortly after entries close on the 31st March 2012"?
Entry list here
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I was actually looking for the race organisers entry list, done in alphabetical order of the entrants running club, which includes the race number. Theoretically you need to have this for registration and the SI entries list doesn't include it.
To answer my own, question the list has just appeared here: http://www.threepeaksrace.org.uk/3Pe...ist%202012.pdf

Did Edale in 3.30 in 2011 so was quite disappointed this year. No idea what to expect at 3 Peaks? I'll say hello if I see you on Saturday
panic ye not ,they are all up now ! I'm number 2Quote:

need an advice, we need to carry a hat with us. Is a buff classed as a hat? I can wear it on my head and it retains heat, so I would say yes - but a second opinion would be appreciated :)
thanks!
I would definately say no . I will be wearing a buff but also carrying a hat too. Enjoy the race . Its my 10th this time although I've never done it as fast as I would like though !Quote:
