GRM - If off road /trail is your thing then we've got the next Cross Country race on 13th Nov- We got relegated to div 2 last year which is a shame but on a positive note, no matter how slow you are, you won't be last!!

Make sure you have a word with one of the guys tomorrow if you're interested.  Otherwise I can always put you in contact with someone.  Always good to add a new runner to the team.

I'm a GGAC member (although I'm unable to make it to any of the training sessions)

Why not turn up to one of the 5k time trials at stoke park and have a chat with one of the organisers.  The time trials are on the 1st sat of each month so I guess there should be one this weekend

I try to do a race once a fortnight.  I don't expect to PB them all and categorise each as an A, B or C race

A - long term target eg VLM (warrents full taper and specific preparation).  The B & C races will be chosen to aid preparation for an "A" race

B- Will try to do well - probably take a day off training before hand to be a bit fresher

C - Essentially a tough tempo run with the benefit of others around me for motivation.  No change to normal training before or after

most small/ local races don't fill up too quickly so you should know where you're living in time to get your entries in.

marathon talk looks good will have to give it a go.

my secret shame on pod casts...... The Archers  !!

I've always used these for shorter races but recently just found out that they work for me at marathon distance too.

Only problem is I need some more and nobody seems to stock them anymore (except clearing out tiny sizes).

 Anyone know where I can get hold of a 8.5?
