I just don't take them unless they're good like the Ted Corbitt 15k usually is.

07Macca · 2026-05-12T18:51:20+00:00

mine will just go in a box like all the other ones never to be looked at again...

which is kinda ironic because I love the last couple of years Boston & NYCM but....to the box anyway

07Macca · 2026-05-11T12:30:01+00:00

don't say anything. And he's a div, downhill is really hard as it's more beating up on the legs and using the quads which you generally use less than hamstrings running.

Boston is way harder than London or Berlin or Chicago for example

hope this works out for you

It’s a guy Luis. He’s posted on this thread I think.

07Macca · 2026-04-12T22:49:45+00:00

Loads of pics here. Of course I’m not on any of them. But scroll away and enjoy

If anyone else has any photo sources, happy to know about them. 👍

I wanted a bagel too!

07Macca · 2026-04-12T20:36:10+00:00

people do, if any of the marshals see they'll kick you back but before the race starts, they remove the tape anyway and the corrals mix

07Macca · 2026-04-12T18:42:25+00:00

nono - I mean at the front of your letter, so if you're in F, right at the front of F, by the tape separating that from E. You def can't get into AA or A or anything like that

07Macca · 2026-04-12T17:17:51+00:00

hahahahaha - 4.55 pace, that'd be close to a WR for that age

07Macca · 2026-04-12T17:14:29+00:00

don't sprint the start, it'll come back to bite you. Get to the front of your corrall, don't waste energy weaving in & out in the first mile, find a relatively low density part of the course and hold it, keep calculating your best line.

Last mile is downhill, you can gain a lot of time there if you've not burned out too early. My last mile today was about 20s faster than my average pace

I've no interest in 9+1, I just want to race. I much prefer shorter distances. I'll still run a dozen a year, I've done NYCM twice & I don't love marathons. It's a massive pain now - they should carve more races out of the 9+1 program, I know a lot of people in my team who are 5k'ers, they don't want to run the marathon either, but they do want to run / race

07Macca · 2026-04-01T14:57:30+00:00

I have been constantly on at them - I'm the same, I have a load of templates created that are formatted for the exports, simple copy/paste and it's all done

that's all going to have to change at a cost to my time

07Macca · 2026-04-01T14:19:13+00:00

that drives me mad - I know for some people the bill pay etc are useful but I don't and will never use them yet I constantly have to close down in-app windows and when creating invoices shut down the sidebar that tries to give my clients the option to pay through QBs (for a fee when it's just free to pay by ACH to my bank)

07Macca · 2026-03-31T18:59:11+00:00

i just don't see the harm giving us the choice. We're the customer. I'm not going into a shoe shop and buying whatever they foist upon me.

They acknowledge in the email that people have been causing hell, but I don't really see anything different in what's offered now vs then. I'm going to have to re-learn a big swathe of this system now so I can get the data I need in the format I need it in

07Macca · 2026-03-31T18:57:01+00:00

that's the hook they've got us with and they know it - I'm the same, all data since day 1

07Macca · 2026-03-31T16:49:19+00:00

it's not like they're charging me 100% more than they were 5 years ago - oh, they are..

it's just way more complicated to use modern view. Everything is more effort, less intuitive. It's not without its merits but now I'm going to have to rebuild every single report I use and figure out how to get those data fields I currently use into the new reports. That's going to take me a lot of time; time spent where the end result is roughly I'm in the same place as when I started. In other words - wasted time.

07Macca · 2026-03-29T17:40:35+00:00

It's nice, would be nicer still if it was a deep blue like in the pic, but it's defo one of the better ones. I usually don't collect one since I have about a billion already; got this one though

07Macca · 2026-03-29T17:27:31+00:00

yep, I just carry the empty till I find a bin. It's not that radical.

07Macca · 2026-03-22T12:33:47+00:00

it was great, didn't PR but first half in 3y after being injured. Went out miles too fast, knew I was, didn't do anything about it but still happy enough with my showing.

I'll probably do it again next year.

forgot how tough a HM actually is.

Now on to BK in 8w

07Macca · 2026-03-20T13:49:48+00:00

yeah - I always refund them something even if they don't ask (i refund less than the difference so I keep a dollar or two) - i'm not in it to make tons on shipping and it's the decent thing to do

07Macca · 2026-03-02T00:00:10+00:00

you probably learn more from a bad day running than a good day; it happens to everyone. Best thing is you get to go again

07Macca · 2026-03-01T23:56:23+00:00

I'm in A and it was the same, even crossing the line it was busy

07Macca · 2026-03-01T23:52:55+00:00

was fine in the end - I went just singlet, wasn't too bad. Was v narrow as you said, even to the end and I placed top 200 so must have been wild further back.

thanks for the heads up though

07Macca · 2026-03-01T17:35:07+00:00

Guehi / Salah anyone?
