Hey Namaste,
Well done!! I was in Bristol on Sunday and went for a run around the Downs where I could see you all running along by the river... I have to say, I found it a really muggy day for running, not helped by a strong wind blowing in my face, so good on you for doing better than expected! :thumb:

I actually like the solitude of running a lot of the time
My friend is faster than me; but did go at my pace.
I had to keep making excuses, and ended up just telling her straight, that there was nothing in it for me to do those sort of runs.
If ive got the time and the inclination for a run, then id rather do a proper one, not babysit someone just starting
I'm doing my first ever half marathon on Sunday (run to the beat) anyone else doing it? Or any last minute tips?
My area is very hilly (road races around here are apparently some of the most difficult in the country), so I feel like I have no sense of what I'd be like on flat ground. Might try to get into London to run the parks in the next few days.
I'm getting very nervous now!
i really wanted to do that!! Good luck.
Im doing the dedham 10k on sunday now
Don't use (eat, drink, wear) anything you've not had before.
SuzyCreamCheese - good luck for the 10k on Sunday!
Piccolo - you'll be absolutely fine if you can run 10miles with hills, the longest I've ever done is 10.5 miles and I am assured by other runners that this will be enough. Is this your first half marathon?
What do other people use to carry stuff? I don't really like having things in my pocket (inhaler, MP3 player, etc.)
You can buy ones that go over your shoulder - I've got one and they're so uncomfortable. Much prefer the bottle belt that goes on my waist.
What do other people carry their stuff in (inhaler, MP3 player, etc.)? I use pockets and hands but it's annoying.
Piccolo, 10 miles is great!
I have another half marathon in two weeks... I'm running 11 miles today, throwing in a bit of cross country. I have sorted out a fairly flat route with a few trails thrown in. Lookin' forward to it.
I have my first 5km race in 2 weeks. Hopefully, my legs will be ok by then.
i need to start doing that. What belt do you have?
Nathan (which a friend has - no idea what mine is) is meant to be good.
eh?
Something like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nathan-Triangle-water-Bottle-Belt/dp/B001DMPCOS
Is everyone ready?
gonna try and do a couple of long runs this week and a short one, and just hope i can wing it.
Anyone staying in london beforhand?
