Williambloke - thanks for the response. If it's not a cheeky question - can I ask how old (or at least what age group !) you are - just thinking of the relevance for a sub 1.21 half ie knocking 8 or so minutes off your half time in one chunk. You're positivity and enthusiasm are impressive though I'm not sure it's entirely realistic ! Quite a tall order to improve HM time to that extent while effectively focussing on mara training IMHO but you never know.....

I'm currently forty one. Hopefully next year I will be forty two, unless I start to regress...

Jeepers - that is a fair point and one that i clocked yesterday when i had a look at the 3.15 thread. So noted! That being said it is the Super Six thread so top of mind...

Hi Guys, some interesting points on here, this thread could go on till April!

If anyone has any questions they want to ask me, just fire away.

It's possible, I've been doing it for years, I'm even back at the point of dribbling and finding words like 'bum' and 'willy' funny.

Don't give up hope.

The 3:15 thread has been an absolute gold mine these last couple of year, and the good thing about it is that it's such a friendly bunch of people that the runners who are now aiming even faster (some of them trying for sub 2:45) still stick around so you get the benefit of those who've done it, not just those who are trying to do it. Matchstick Man was the Super Six 3:15 runner last year, and his posts have been brilliant, and there are several others who've really given this running lark a lot of thought and are good at writing about it. I've been on this thread a couple of years now, and finally got my sub 3:15 at Brighton this year, and the regular posters defintely helped me get there.

Would you swap the Knight Rider car for the Batmobile?

I once had to help my mate fit a carpet for a bloke called Richard Seaman. When he uttered the immortal words "Call me Dick", I nearly wet myself...

It's a shame that we got the carpet in through the front door - if he'd said "It won't go in that way, why don't you try to get it in up my back passage?" I think I'd have lost the plot.

Hi BOTF - totally agree with you. The tread keeps me going too and the banter on there is great.
We don't talk about running all the time!

JUst worked out why I didn't make the short list then...

  I ate the all day breakfast sandwich - they must have spotted that!!!

But after getting dizzy running round a track so many times I needed something to settle my stomach.

And I agree I needed a hot drink too but wasn't bright enough to spot the coffee shop! DOH

Nope. Prefer Kitt any day. That interior looks so futuristic.

Go on sell yourself to me, why should I vote for you ?
