Dave17 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 lol i wouldnt expect many replies just yet, seeing as most are still running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 How those people do that I will never know... the training alone would take it toll on the body... never mind doing the dam thing!? A flat ten miler round Pompey is (and will always be) my limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 christ ive just come back from a gentle jog round our local park (no more than 1-2 miles) and i think ive mutated and grown an extra lung while i was out. Need to get in training for next rugby season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 A group of lads from our office are doing it....wearing white tops with purple spots. I was initially considered as a possible member of the team, but for some reason they crossed me off the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 My sister finished it in 5 Hours 40 Minutes and I'm so so proud of her, this time last week it didn't even look like she was going to run due to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeze.... that is good going.. I'd have died well before that! I did the Great South in 1ht 25 at the last go... and that was enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 All I can say is I didn't win it. It was very warm. I finished it in 3 hrs 19 mins and the crucial 27 secs and came 2402 out of about 36,000 runners. It was about 20 deg C at Canary Wharf and loads of runners were dropping down like flies.

So in a sense, out of 2402 runners, you came last. Superb effort. At present, I don't think I could even run three miles without stopping for air and a pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
