    'Non-fell' runs... soft sods!!

    Sorry guys.... rant mode

    What is it with these road races etc. Been over on another forum and virtually every race review there's someone on there saying "Great race, but drinks bottles at the water stations would be a great idea..... I'd be willing to pay an extra 50p for that"

    FFS!!!

    If you can't run 10m or a 1/2 without more than a quick sip - carry your own water like you do on the gyms treadmill!

    But if they keep thinking of new ways to add £0.50 to a road race fee.... How long till 100's are looking for somewhere else (cheaper) to run

    Good point! You are wise and far-sighted. So what do we do?

    I have to laugh when I see these road runner pottering along with these water bottles that can be gripped through the middle!! WTF!!

    Another thing that really pisses me off is running with MP3 players, why do so many people think they need them? Joke. Its just a bloody fashion accessory.
