Blimey 5'9 is tall for a lady! So I am way under the optimal height then at 5' nothing :rotfl:
Its 5'3" for a lady I believe.
But take it with a pinch of salt - the marathon world record has been broken by a 6'2" runner and by a 4'10" runner.
So in terms of relevant factors height is a pretty lowly one imo!Gt NW 1/2 Marathon 21/2/2010 (Target=1:22:59) (6:20/mile) 1:22:47 (6:19):j:j

Crikes it does look a lot!
But 30 per day - they soon tot up when this thing gets going. I suppose 10 in 15 minutes is not unusual.
I can hardly be on here every minute of the day, be working every minute of the day and training every minute of the day - but it doesn't stop me getting accused of them all!! :rotfl:
I'll have to try and work that out - maybe I am a multi-tasker after all. I could be a honorary woman!!!:p

Evening all,
Yes I am looking forward to my rest day tomorrow...been out for a 6 miler tonight...not quite the 7.5 I was hoping for but it was too dark to do another loop and luckily there were some hills involved.
I'm looking forward to my 4 mile fartlek on Tuesday!
Well done everyone today! Wowee there's been a lot of running this weekend...
I'm at a total of only 22 or so this week which is pretty rubbish - must try harder!!0 -

Rich, I think Maz has suggested Beginners and Beyond Virtual Runners for the club name too. I could have that wrong, but it would take me hours to go back and check without a proper internet connection, sorry.
Hope you're well and the training is going okay?
