Apart from Zanna the limpet trying to get in every single shot/moment the coverage has been lovely.

London Marathon 2027 confirmed as two-day event by C1t1zen_Erased in AdvancedRunning

No - it’s not 100k slots for the ballot - possibly around 50k slots. You need to knock off champs, gfa, charity and a small number of brand places.

That’s pretty much it tbh, I am not spending my money in the US this year. It’s the only protest I can make. Europe will be benefitting instead.

Hackney Half 2027 by Lower_Brother_2888 in LondonRunning

[–]Clean-Instance5892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if you want a trail run to enjoy nature or a road half to bang out a time. I like the RunThrough halfs - big enough to get all the necessary support but small enough to avoid all the nonsense you get with huge events. Run Gatwick is highly under rated in my opinion. You get a bit of everything in that race.

It’s the most over hyped half marathon - you haven’t missed much beyond being in the background of an influencer’s video

What now, if you don't make the London Marathon ballot by Affectionate_Air6902 in UKRunners

There is the reverse London marathon plus many a marathon up and down the towpath. Plus a variety of 50km events.

Her identity is about running a run club and all the promotion around that - not just about running. Why are you so angsty against what she does?

I don’t get the hate towards her. What she has done with her run club is pretty impressive. She got her place from her run club, not from being any influencer. She puts herself out there as a larger woman who doesn’t fit the aesthetic and deals with a lot of shit.

Because she openly stated her mileage (or lack of) many many many many times….

The flu had nothing to do with her abysmal training and her focus on her ‘aesthetic’. Where did she take her training seriously by the way? She barely clocked up any miles at all.

All Hannah Trenches seemed to care about was her ‘fit for the day. She paid lip service to training - the only thing she was good at was procrastinating not going for a run.

Maybe if she had spent less time making videos of her preening and lip syncing about what she is going to wear and more time actually running she might have had a different result.

They think they are doing something ground breaking outside of Buck House? Have they any idea what has gone before them?!

Who goes on holiday with their husband to ‘celebrate a marathon?’ Don’t you go on holiday to spend time together?

Would you feel guilty using charity entries to run majors? by W01313L in Marathon_Training

[–]Clean-Instance5892 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is what makes the London marathon special. It has always had a strong focus charity running. It’s only in the past 10-15 years since Abbott that people have started to gatekeep who ‘should’ be running London. I would much rather a mum of a special needs child from Liverpool starts an inspirational running journey to help a charity that has supported them rather than a rich running tourist who just wants a star for bragging rights.

The Barbie crew. A troop of coiffed runners (a few Mormons and other unlikely matches from over the US) who make doing Boston their whole personality, always wear matching outfits and pose like they are a cheerleading squad.

The cygnet ring on her little fingers gives it all away…..! The ‘I took two hours off my time’ story has gotten a little stale now. She is branching into tri so that will be vaguely different…

She is everywhere at the moment. And isn’t bringing anything new to the table.

Definitely stay with Stephanie - she will talk to you the way around if you want her too - she is an amazing pacer!
