adidas Silverstone Half-Marathon

So then, who's up for this? I did this as part of my buildup for FLM last year, and since April I've been sat squarely on my arse, aside from the odd gym session. 

I'm looking at 9 weeks of uncomfortable hell to get myself back into the rhythm, although I think I'd struggle with 5k at the moment. I'm trapped through, a mate of mine has entered and I agreed to do it with him ages ago. I shall pinch a 12 week schedule and compress it accordingly. 

It was a good race last year though, a bit dank and damp at the start but it warmed up nicely after the first hour, I'm looking forward to it. 

it is a good event in every way i think-

i say that even though my relationship with the organisers isn't sweet

but i'm not knocking the event  - we clocked 1.48 and 1.54 i think there -

 we've also taken part there in the East Midlands summer grand prix 10k race in May about 4 maybe 5 times - our times there  - twice around the formula one curquit range from  46.30  - 52 mins

can be exposed though in wrong conditions- and the middle bit is boring around the outer perimeter service road

but that's running for you - your in or your not - simple

petedaddy - I have a FLM club place. I could do a  local race on this day but have decided to pay my club back for my place by helping them out. I will do my lsr on Saturday.

Silverstone ?

Na i doubt it  - u enjoy it babe

mick - I don't think getting on a coach from Dagenham at 6am in the morning to go to Silverstone and stand in th cold sorting baggage enjoyable except for seing my running friends.

barongreenback - this was my first ever race and you are right £15 is not bad for this event.

petedaddy -  have you entered this race yet?

barongreenback - I know petedaddy from being on the Sub 5hr FLM thread last year. You could do a couple of races for £35.

Yep Tracey, I entered last night. Gah!

 £35 for GMR is far too much. It was £30 last year and that was a joke, it's only a 10k!

petedaddy - Roobarb is doing it.

Excuse me saying this - ( I don't know u or your abilty )

go back and read the 4th post on this thread

Like i said- only problem  with Silvesrtone- if the weather is inclement - it can be exposed and hard running

i think it WOULD  be worth your journey

It depends what u want -

Apple - on the plus side you do get a nice medal.

Mick - I was looking forward to seeing you and Phil at Silverstone

Tracey - what can i say ahh

You know me, so if i said what i really thought  ( and it does NOT involve the organisers) you'd understand - but others ( some know me - some don't ) may not and may thinking i'm being arrogant and patronising- and if they did think that i could'nt blame them  

i certainly would'nt be running for ANY momentoes-  we run to run -Full Stop !
