Anyone fancy a trip ooop Norf for the Great North Run in 2013?
Could incorporate with a trip to see the in-laws
All my buddies from my home town who are into running love this run saying the atmosphere is amazing and is the first proper race most of them ran in.

How about this little beauty.I did it in 2004 and it was properly tough.
http://www.jogshop.co.uk/html/jogshopjog/index.htm
I managed it in 3:18 and it nearly finished me, i've done a marathon before and felt this was just as tough although not as long.

How does Tom run and look so natural and refreshed, whereas I look like Cracknell did when he was up to about mile 100 running across the desert WeLuvIbiza

Your time sounds very decent having looked at the route/ terrain! Personally prefer running on the road.

Thank you sir it sure is a hilly beast, i did my marathon in 3:20 so you see what i mean when i said i found this tough, it's six miles shorter!!!!!
Massive respect for running 20+ miles on the South Downs, I went out and did my first South Downs run a few weeks ago and ran 4 miles (and it felt like about 15
)I definitely want to incorporate some regular off road hill running into my training as it definitely makes me a better runner but boy does it hurt

And also a little more forgiving on the joints.
any of you run bods run in a pair of minimalist shoes? im starting to think that the more cushioning for me = more problems.

With all this talk of off-road running (plus I am still on a high from Sunday ) I've just signed up for the Beach Head Marathon in October - 26 miles of off-road running on the very hilly South Downs
There's obviously no hope of getting anywhere close to a PB time (plenty of people do it as a run/walk/run/walk race) so I'm going to just treat it as a 'fun run' - well as 'fun' as running 26 miles on the South Down in October can be
Anyone else up for it?!

After you posted the article about minimal running shoes, googled such and came across these;
An interesting development
Be sure to post your sponsor link if you are running for charidee in the BUPA?

those 5 fingers are wrong.
making a switch to a flatter shoe, mainly after thinking about my experiences having my legs wrecked by the asics kayanos and all the 'support' they provide, and to try and run more mid/firefoot...
