148, after 13.1 miles that wasn't the planned Liverpool half. I'll eventually start a race this year...

Well the Liverpool Half might not have been 13.1 miles anyway

AL - Was it short? I'd have been raging if I travelled hundreds of miles in decent shape to run a short course. Luckily I didn't travel, and I'm not in decent shape haha!

Well as is the way of things, debate is raging on Facebook - but it looks as if it may have been as much as .4 of a mile. The organisers have issued a statement that implies they accept it might not have been accurate.

What's it with the north of England and being unable to properly measure road races (Manchester marathon, I'm looking at you)

When I ran the Loughborough Half in 2012 it was short (12.95 according to the entry on my training log). But for a small event that was raising money for a charity I don’t think many people made much of a fuss about it. You wouldn’t expect a big event to have the same issue.

Managed to get an 18-miler in yesterday in my allotted time, which was nice. Puts me on 88/100. It's still a bit squeaky-bum as to whether I'll make 100, but it's been good trying this month! |

DeeGee - i know fine it it's not just the north of England. It just so happens the 2 'short' races I've signed up for have been there. Although I still have horrible memories of being in HM PB shape at Edinburgh a few years ago, only to run a near 13.5 mile course and not PB. Took me a couple of years to calm down after that one! Worst part of that debacle was the organisers only taking about 3 months to admit the course 'might' be long... |
