It's my girlfriend/ running partner's birthday soon, was wondering if anyone has ever given or received a great (or rubbish!) running related present?!

I'm taking SWMBO to run the Swiss Alpine 42k next summer for our 10th wedding anniversary...great or rubbish?!

sounds good to me!

I received some running gear for my Birthday that was greatly received.

I'm sure she will be made up, if not, send it to me, I'm sure I'll squeeze into it !

hehe thanks!

We're running our first half marathon in September, have a training plan but looking for something more serious long term - can anyone recommend a good marathon training book? I saw Marathons for Dummies, but not sure if this is really what we need!

Google Hal Higdon.

How about running club membership as a pressie?

What 1/2m are you planning?

thanks, he looks pretty clued up

We're all signed up for the Great Scottish Run, goes through Glasgow. Looking forward to it, we're running for Guide Dogs for the Blind

For my partner's 60th I entered her in the 'Guy Fawkes 10' which was run on the same day as her birthday, November 6th. I also arranged with the organisers to give her Number 60 and to present her with a bottle of Champagne at the prize giving. They went further and had balloons to welcome her over the finish line! She wont forget that in a hurry!
Cheers!
