She was, but she pulled a 69 year old bloke who was faster than us, so she ran off with him

Echo what Paula and Fleecy said. Good first two thirds, shocking final 8 miles.

Bint ran up a gently sloping hill but I simply didn't have the legs to go with her, whcih was a shame as we had had a really good run together up until then. She then quite rightly disappeared into the distance and apparently took all the function of my quads with her! I had a poor 20- 23 (lack of hill training) and staggered down the last bit.

That said, having spent 20 minutes post race trying to stop both calves, both hip joints and both quads cramping up at the same time (!) I did enjoy it overall and more importantly it has changed my preconception that you can only do a marathon on huge amounts of training (although it might hurt less:-) )

About This Thread

Maintained by iRan
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2016 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

bunting and 700er medals are often spotted around here.

Happy running :-)
