Just checking back in and see there have been many views but no confirmed entries for Bratislava. As an FYI, I'm running this one. Anyone who fancies it and joining me as one of the apparently very few native English speakers at this race would be more than welcome...?! |

Spoke to the manager of the Asics shop in London about these. She said that the new Asics DS Trainer was a completely different shoe from previous version (which I train/run in too). Her view was that new DS Trainer was a catastrophe waiting to happen; 'an ankle breaker' due to rubbish new support system in the shoe. She said that the Sky Speed picked up where the old DS Trainer left off and was the one to go for if looking to replace the old DS Trainer. Old DS Trainer and Sky Speed are very similar shoes apparently. Hope this helps. | |

Anyone based in Notingham area doing this event and the Grantham Ultra a few weeks later and looking for a cheaper alternative to getting hotels? Can offer a comfy room in London on the Friday night before the London Ultra in exchange for something similar in Notts area the night before Grantham if so...? Let me know... tbn | |

Afternoon all, Trying to plan races for Spring 2011 and wanted to go and try somewhere new (have done London, Paris, Barcelona, Hamburg etc). Timing, price and course for Bratislava Marathon looks good, but has anyone on here actually tried it? Is a relatively small and new race, and my usual bible on this - Marathonguide.com - only has one review saying it was pretty good. Also ticks the boxes for a decent trip away. Flights not ideal, but can fly in and out of Vienna (nice place to top and tail the trip) and train it over the border to Bratislava quickly and cheaply. Happy to hear from anyone with the inside line on this race, or better still from anyone who fancies giving it a whirl... tbn | |

FM - am seriously considering doing this one as my first ultra. Have clocked up 10 marathons so far and just fancy something different. Also quite keen on the 2 day Gratham Ultra in March and/or the London to Brighton 56 in September. A little put off by the mention of needing a compass though...?! | |
