  • I can't remember a date no, all those were the first half of last year. Also as I said I didn't realise people would pick on each detail, the objective was to meet people also training not demotivate myself.
  • Thank you for your post and suggestions. I completely agree. We all have different goals and different reasons for running. I'm sure I will be no where close to those that dedicate all year to this and for them shaving a few minutes off an already amazing time will be a great achievement. For me doing it, ideally with…
  • Despite not wanted to carry on I've been sucked back in. To address a few points: Yes people die in endurance events, I actually work in cardiology and most who do have an underlying condition which they are unaware of.

  • I'm not looking for anyone to cheer me on, as I said I'm looking for people training for a similar event. I appreciate people's concern however I don't think a 5k in a few months is a push goal, nor did I say I was just planning to show up without training.

  • Thanks for your positivity. I'm new to the community side but I didn't think this was the point! Thanks Jake! Luckily I thrive on proving negative people wrong. :-)
  • I have 12 weeks, I'm going to run it. I need goals.
  • Hi from the UK, I really want to own this year, feel free to add me :-)
