I read that half the people get a Sorry magazine and the other half get a Sorry email.
Then the people that got in got a magazine.

I’m assuming this means I’ll get a sorry email :cry:

#1014

Tempted to go home to check, no email either.

#1015

I want in more than ever now!
I wish you could just look it up online.

Recommendations for a well organised fast spring half marathon please. Gunna do the Sheffield one for fun but it’s got a massive hill in it so would like to run another one for a time

Too late? They’ve changed all the routes this year to make them super fast, so they claim, but it’s Edinburgh so it’s probably still going to be hilly

#1018

Bit late aye but would be tempted. Think I’m gunna try to do a decent number of shorter organised events next year, and keep running consistently rather than running loads building up to a marathon then stopping completely for 6 months.
Or I might learn how to swim properly and do a tri

Don’t do a Tri!!!

Do they not do a half when they do the Manchester 10k? Think it’s usually early May.

They do:

Ideally want a march/April one as a reason to stay fit before mallorca

I’m gonna give Fell Running a crack next year I think. Like running long distance but hate the monotony of the road.

Hackney is good.

We’ve also entered the Big Half, which is around docklands, tower bridge and Greenwich.

Both are big events and quite pricey, but being in London, it means we don’t have to organise travel/accommodation.

Fell running is hard on the quads. Good fun though.

#1024

All the cycling I do should come in handy then!

I did a bit of trail running back when I was a postie, and used to run a loop out into the peaks and back in to Sheffield but I’ve never had a proper go on the hills.

Always see the old fellas running up on the fells when I go walking in the Lakes and think that I should definitely be having a crack at it if they are!

Only done it a couple of times, but it’s a good lark for something different. And yes - if you cycle then you probably won’t get DOMS in the same way I did!

I know someone who did a Bob Graham round the mad bastard.

The whole fell running scene is mad really. They’re all massive mentalists but lovely, weird people.

Recommend anyone with any interest in running to read Feet in the Clouds. It’s a fascinating book about one man’s obsession with fell running, but also serves as a really interesting history of fell running in general.

Just received the sorry (not sorry) email. Looks like there’s going to be a Newport Marathon around the same time so I might do that instead and there’s no need to book a hotel/travel.

#1028

Yeah, officially DENIED. I won’t be entering any other marathon.

#1029

REJECTED for the marathon, obviously

#1030

I haven’t got an email OR a magazine yet.
What does this MEAN

#1031

You forgot to enter?

(I actually entered AND paid by mistake. I thought you had to pay to enter!)
