Not necessarily Benz.

And in any case, if it's someone who ends up walking because they CBA to do the training then I think it's a fair point.

That wouldn't include you BTW.

Not really surprising from zone six to be honest - what did you pur down as your target time?

Plodding Hippo and Blonde Bird - I'm with you on the walk run thing. It got me round the Edinburgh marathon last week. Oooh, such a shiny medal! And well worth the 6 months of training that took over my life.
