Hoaxster Aug 2007 3:05pm, 28 Aug 2007 9,642 posts	Quote Pin Hoaxster Talked to the man in the running shop about this today. A few highlights: "It's all about the last six miles" "200 steps up the [insert name of dreadful obstacle deliberately blanked from memory]" "...then it's hands and knees stuff" "you should go for a finish rather than a time" Thought I should share.

Shin-Twigs Aug 2007 6:11pm, 28 Aug 2007 217 posts	Quote Pin Shin-Twigs I dont think the hands and knees stuff is a wind up from what i have heard. it is truly go for a finish not for a time. my first off road marathon. 13 miles of north downs way yesterday and I could hardly walk today. omg what have i done.
Dips Aug 2007 6:16pm, 28 Aug 2007 55 posts	Quote Pin Dips shin...I run in this area often...in fact i ran some of the course on Sunday and have yet to be reduced to hands and knees believe me! It is a tough course and definately not a PB but it can be enjoyed....promise. The views are amazing.
