Submitted my entry form for this last week.

Are you supposed to get a confirmation email to say your form has been received by RW?

Thanks.

No don't think so g24. Think it's just a case of waiting to see if you make the cut !

Good luck!

Runny - night run with toddler in a push chair sounds great, nothing like cross training while you run! That's very efficient!!

G24, I agree with apple, no one got a confirmation but I did figure out that if you went back on to the application form after submission the site recognised my details and confirmed I'd already submitted an application... Probably doesn't help you per se, except piece of mind that no one else got a conformation either.

Runny - I know it's off topic but was wondering what sort of pushchair you've got to run with. My better half is due in March and am looking for a good pram/pushchair to take running

Hi Oz,

I've got a Mothercare My3 (I didn't buy it for running as only started running a year ago!) - bought it because it turned from a flat lying pram to a funky looking pushchair and it handled well.

However ... it's got pneumatic tyres so is cracking off road (I clock quite a few cross country miles with it), it's stable and there's still plenty of room for Lily in it and she's 2 now! Oh ... and it's fairly nimble - can manage a sub 30 minute 5km cross country with her in it. (The kissing gates are a bit of a pain with it though! )

Think of the improved metabolism for all of us anxiously waiting to see if we have made the first cut.

It is not just the excitment, but the extra mouse clicking to see if there is any news anywhere, whilst looking over our shoulders to make sure our bosses cant see what we are doing!!

Im going nuts

Bollocks, I didn't make it

According to their FB page, they posted about 45 minutes ago that successful applicants have been e-mailed and to make sure to check your spam filters.

Well done to those that did make it through.

I think I managed to enter - am now just busting a gut waiting for a phone call! Or not, as the case will probably be

. Ah well, best of luck to one and all that have entered, and may the people that get it have a fantastic time. I will be extremely jealous!

Do u get an email regardless? I.e. Either saying you did or didn't make it to round 1? Does anyone know?

Have you got my correct email ? Perhaps try and re-send it !!

Yet again I missed the cut, gutted .

Funny Hat - why are you gutted? You can still run a marathon and a PB.

I think I got a lot more out of the Forum Six last year than some of the winners in the official competition. No money value prizes of course but if its really just the coaching/mentoring you're after you can find it right here on these forums.

I so agree with Minni. I'm still getting the benefit from last year's Forum 6 and would encourage anyone to join in with it again this year. It complements the Asics thing perfectly without taking anything away from the winners.
