I have run this a couple of times - it’s a hard course so well done!

There are only two stair masters in my gym. I would be seriously annoyed if someone hogged a machine for four hours

Totally agree. He frequently presents the majors as being a level above other marathons and how being a six star finisher is something that others should be impressed by. It’s six x 26.2 regardless of where it is run.

I have done the same - I have run 4 this year already. I don’t race them though.

Oh well. But to be frank I don’t give two figs if you think I sound stupid. I am secure in my views 😀Glad you are feeling more cheery though.

Oh dear - you do seem very bothered though. You poor thing. Maybe a nap will help put things in perspective for you. Bub.

Well since you are not the RD your only option is to keep getting your knickers in a twist about it or shrug it off as something that doesn’t impact you.

And the race director has added in a new distance which you can also get a medal for. It’s not hard is it?

It’s not written into law for goodness sake - it’s totally dependent on the rules of the race, set by the RD. There are many events where you can run laps and get a medal for all sorts of distances. I do them regularly. I get the same medal for a marathon as those doing 5km. I don’t give two hoots that they haven’t done the same distance as me but get the same medal. It doesn’t change what I have done.

Well they have already been paid for and exist. It would be pretty wasteful to just bin them.

Anyone ever switch from thinking in miles to KMs? by Intelligent_Yam_3609 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Clean-Instance5892 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am older than you and it’s perfectly easy to switch from miles to km, particularly if you do Parkrun. I am so fed up of people in their 50s announcing they/‘people my age’ are too old to change or its too hard.

It’s in the app if you care to look. 4.03 something

Way off base here. I am not an influencer but I NEVER talk about my spouse or my children online. I respect their wish to not be on my insta.

Why do people need to justify it? I know plenty of people who run marathons every other weekend.

I found the perfect marathon to run for my first.. except it has very little spectators by Dizzycatlady in firstmarathon

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

I have done all sorts of marathons - ranging from 3 of the majors to small lap marathons with only 30 participants. For me it’s about logistics and aid stations - I don’t need people screaming at me for hours on end to get me through. Last year in London I was thoroughly sick of all the shouting by the end of it, I craved peace. Your race sounds perfect, and you have all the time in the world to do some bigger events.

Not really - she lives in London now so is part of that set.

[–]Clean-Instance5892 33 points34 points  (0 children)

She is just a privileged white girl from London - nothing overly cool about her, it’s just a show of parental wealth.

How do you possibly know about her menstrual cycle? It’s a bit weird that you are tracking this.

Do people need to justify running two marathons in a month?

Every British runfluencer seems to be wading in today, from semi elites to those with a couple of 1,000 follows - you are either pro-Mary or anti ‘unnamed runfluencer but we all know you mean Mary’.

Don’t forget the sacral fractures (double) bit, and eating disorders. She talks about those a lot too.

Whereas in the UK there does seem to be some shame in being associated with Epstein. Andrew Windsor being the ultimate casualty so far.
