"Sedentary adults should complete a six to twelve week programme of moderate exercise before considering a programme of vigorous exercise. Men older than 45 and women older than 55 should consult their GP before taking up vigorous exercise."

:rolleyes: how come 55 year old woman can go legging round the block without the doc's say so........

Oh you are doing that one - i got scared away by the huge entry fee

Good luck anyway - dont through your bottle on the floor though - they wont get permission for 2010 if they cant keep it cleaner than last year I've heard

Oh start/finish opposite the back of the cathedral - it should be a nice route - you get to go round two of the best bits of Bristol (Queen Sq and Castle Green) and for a very hilly city - it looks pretty flat

aye entry fee sucks.... but I get £15 per week for the bus from work which i use for my raceing / trainers / tight shorts... seeing as i dont use the bus ..

can not wait for the the end of bistol mind.... new trainers .. not just any trainers...... MARATHON trainers

Talking of entry fees, Bradford really are showing the way with their renewed enthusiasm for road running.

The organisation of the 10K in March was superb with a city centre finish.

Now in preparation for the re-introduction of the marathon next year the Bradford City Run is being held in October as a 10 mile road race. The entry fee being £8 +£2 for unaffilliated.

A big city race can be held with those sort of entry fees......the £30+ for half marathons and less are taking the proverbial!

Are you signing us up then

Its good practise for me to do races with hills!

I got scared away by the size of the event - that's why I opted for Chippenham instead.

A steady 6 miles this morning. My legs still felt a bit tired, especially on the inclines, and my right calf felt a little 'twitchy' so have been trying to drink more water today - I've even eaten a few salted peanuts even though I don't really like them. Oh, the sacrifices we make for our running :rotfl:

Nice running evab :cool:
