Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Found it - Rule 57 covers Mountain and Trail Races.

On off-road terrain you're definitely not going to want a high stack height, so although there's no limit, in reality not an issue

Nice info K5 thanks. Should go on the elite thread as well. None of my race shoes (road or track) break the the 20mm. My altras probably do for training (assuming the insole counts).

So track will be a 'Fly free zone.

What's the streak's stack height?

Guessing road would have been about 30mm if the shoes weren't already out there.

That fits with a 30mm limit. I wonder if Hoka already had racing shoes above that though.

So 800m tomorrow for me all in (every other) lanes and I'm in lane 7! 2 faster runners inside me that will probably come past eventually but that stagger won't unwind till circa 700m! Basically an extended 400m where I truly need to get out well and run my own race.

The other runner in the race (only 4) is of similar standard to me and is in lane 1. In theory, he has the opposite issue as he'll see the other two going away and not feel in the race.

Thanks J2R.

Well I've raced and was meh. 2:20.37 which was my slowest 800 for 4 years. I was in lane 1 in the end so was miles behind the race so a weird one (lane 3 won in 2:03, lane 5 ran 2:13 which I'd have been happy with, lane 7 I caught on the last bend as she ran 2:22. Still at least it was a race.

I don't think that result says much besides first race back for ages -including a long period of injury and niggle.

Tricky lane draw too as Lane 3 obvs quite a bit faster so no help to you at all re pacing.

How did it FEEL?

Just re-read your penultimate post, SPR - where you preempt me, but didn't know Lane 1 would be you.
