Would be good if they announced the qualifying times a year in advance. Then people would have a definate target to aim for. Can't think of anything worse than working hard for months to get a GFA time only to discover the times have changed meaning you don't qualify

i thought that, plb, would have been much fairer if the changes announced were for 2015.

But they need to see how many people qualify first. And the majority of gfa qualifications come from VLM on the first place.

Ah I see how it works now.
Better get down to some serious training. VLM over and Loch Ness to train for. I'm also hoping, if finances allow, doing the Glen Ogle Ultra. I really do need to lose this excess weight I've gained since last October. Can really feel the difference and it's not good. Time for action I think.

Potentially, yes, it can change every year. I have heard that the senior men times have changed 4-5 times in the past decade.

blimey, well done, plb!
i did a 1 min run/2 min walk for 30 minutes with my son yesterday (he signed up for the olympic park run, too, and is hideously unfit (and somewhat overweight)) and didn't suffer any ill effects.
so i'm just off to try a 2min run 1 min walk round my flattish 2 miles circuit. fingers crossed it won't set me back.
