Well I'll be interested in Seren Nos's own explanation LIVERBIRD.

I made some nettle soup today. I had to buy an onion, a carrot, a potato and a stock cube but the nettles were free and locally picked. Very tasty - fed the whole family for lunch (including my three year-old) together with some bread and it was very healthy. None of the three of us is obese. It's easy to make excuses but really the cost of eating healthily need not be an issue.

Why do you type ..... in between your words? Have you thought of using a comma or a hyphen?

I thought it was a sloppy piece of film making - lots of discontinuities as mentioned above. Confusing at times - some of the time the target was mentioned as being 2hrs 20 but in other places, the original 2hrs 15 was discussed.

I laughed at one point when he said that all his doubters had actually strengthened his resolve "without you I'd have given up". Hang on mate, but you did give up!

The biggest flaw I think was that by being both hero and fim maker, the whole thing lacked editorial objectivity. Lots of scenes of Vero striding majestically through the countryside and puffing hard after yet another gruelling training session. A different editor would have been much harder on him and his failures, and maybe the viewer would have understood better why it's not just a matter of wanting something badly enough.

I suppose if he hadn't been so naive, he would have realised what any number of people were telling him - that it was all going to be a pipe dream. All he seems to have achieved athletically was a 73 min half marathon. I'm amused to see on his website that he offers his services as "motivational speaker". Even funnier he is offering himself as a personal trainer. Qualifications???

I've voted for JBFAR because I think that sub-3 is a harder and more impressive target for a woman than a man but good luck to you Runalot I'm sure you'll do it anyway. 

Oh dear is BR being the thread policeman again?
