Bazoaxe Jun 2020 3:18pm, 15 Jun 2020 16,693 posts	0 Bazoaxe We all know they aren’t going to happen. First time in 14 years that I will not have completed a marathon unless I do one on my own or there is a small localist event hastily arranged.
KeithL Jun 2020 3:20pm, 15 Jun 2020 212 posts	0 KeithL No not going to happen. Will be some smaller less than 100 runner races on possibly towards very back end of year with a bit of luck but thats it
Windsor Wool Jun 2020 4:16pm, 15 Jun 2020 4,646 posts	0 Windsor Wool it was a masterstroke of yours to race that low key event back in March Keith! I've deferred GMM already but if London were to go ahead I think I'd run but I'd do well to avoid a PW given my current state!

larkim Jun 2020 4:41pm, 15 Jun 2020 11,262 posts	0 larkim I've just slotted in my schedule up to the start of a Manchester 12 week P&D, will definitely get the legs moving over the next few weeks so that I can be ready for my fourth DNS in a row over the last year! Eldest son's already decided that London won't be happening either, despite running a solo 73min half a week or so ago, but i doubt he'd find it a struggle to get ready for London being in that state already.

Wont be anywhere near the form I was in, in march. While I'm disappointed, im just happy I fit a HM race in the week before lockdown and got my first race win and PB. Even if I never get back to that form, I've achieved something on my bucket list.
