C'mon forumites, as mapper says lets get an update on the list of runners and riders!!!

Time to bring the thread back to the top.

What training would you recommend to bring my time from 2:10 to under 2:00 other than just getting out and running harder?

Find a steep sided quarry and practise running down it at speed...

I reckon about 6 pints of Ben Race ale in the Grog & Gruel on the Friday night should do it !

A yard of Ale the night before should do the trick!!!!

I'm sure you suggested this earlier in the thread - dont want other runners trying to get my share of the Ben Race Ale. It normally sells out on the Friday night already. It might get like the race itself - numbers will be limited and we will have to get pre-ordered supplies a year before the night!!!
