Ha ha SC - good use of Larks own arguments against him.

Just remembered, when I went to get my bag, I was one of the low numbers (159) and one of the first back to the bag store. One of the kids there asked me if I was an Elite Runner. I said no I wasn't but thanked her for asking and mistaking me for one

The bag helpers were pupils at my wife's school - any reports of bad behaviour, and I'll get them in detention!

leaderlive.co.uk Puts things into context a little. A metric marathoner sadly passed away during the race. |

That is so sad. When I was leaving the course an ambulance was arriving with lights flashing and then I heard it depart when I was walking towards the town centre and I was worried that someone was unwell. As you say, puts it all in to perspective. PS, the bag helpers were great, I loved being an Elite for a few moments, they had a bag of sweets that were for elites and they let me have one. |

FR - Agree the time to recover will be longer for longer events but the doing something rather than nothing can still apply as Curly has said.

Impressive how pervasive ) I created a "segment" to match the route we took this year at Chester, as it was different to previous years. It has so far matched 988 runners, and ranked me 172. Given that I finished about 300th and there were about 2700 runners taking part, that's over 1 in 3 that use the service, and a bigger proportion of the "faster" runners using it too. Much as I like Fetch's flexibility etc, I'm still a fan of Strava. |

If recovery from longer events happened in the same timeframe as shorter events, I might have done Brum half this weekend.

Hunts - Who knows what I could have run that day. I was pretty cautious as my first mara. Done a 1:25 half in the campaign so a 3:10 was probably (in hindsight) a little conservative! The 2nd was the opposite!
