Thought id just see if i knew anyone on here

 

[Steve]

Don't know you but I see you want to join the Marathon 100 Club....how far to go?

 

[benz]

well now steve

It depends what you count

ive done 12 ultras and 33 marathons


but 3 of the ultras werent totally completed-even though i was over 30 miles each time-so they dont count

are you a marathon nutter too

 

[Steve]

I don't know what would count officially to become a member of the 100 club. Either way you are well on the way.

Not exactly in the same league as you benz....I do races of all sorts of distance from 5ks to marathons. I've only done 7 marathons...pathetic eh!?!

 

[benz]

whaddya mean"only" 7 marathons

thats plenty

i do mine very very slowly, and thats why i think i dont get hurt

 

[Nellie]

Only 7 Steve!!!!!!!

 

[Steve]

Well in comparison!
Still a big deal though even if you go slowly.
Where have you run them?

 

[benz]

lets see
cardiff 4 times
Anglesey twice
FLM 4 times

Having a break form work at the mo, so squashing a few in this year

 

[Steve]

Only 7 Steve!!!!!!!

I know I should be ashamed of myself...letting the side down as a Senior RF Member!

 

[Steve]

All in the UK then benz.
So what are your next targets and when did you start this quest?

( you'll see from this site that I do ask a lot of questions....nosey git me!)

 

[benz]

How come i am a junior member when i am runniing as a vet?



targets?????

just to keep going

I still havent got under sub 5 for a mara
On my 8th mara in as many weeks and set pbs in the last two-which is pretty surprising-

maybe a sub 5 then
And i have loads of race i have issues with-so i have to goback and do them

Ive done Dublin-thats abroad isnt it

what about you Steve?

 

[Trinity]

Hey Benz... is that who I think it is

 

[Steve]

You are a junior member until you have made 50 posts. Then a member until 100 posts and then a senior member.

You must be able to break 5 hours if you keep fit and the course is flatish.

I think Dublin counts as abroad...you have to cross water to do it..but then the same is true of the Isle Of Wight!

Done 4 at home and 3 abroad...have entered FLM but will do Paris if I don't get in.

My target is 3hrs 30.


Benz....it looks like you've found someone who knows you...beware, that Trinity character is making me work my way to Sydney by spade!!!

 

[benz]

Hi trinity!

yes, its me
i thought i had registered as ploffing hippo, but benz came up
I see you are back racing-brililant:d

Steve, trin and i have met at the odd ultra/marathon

 

[benz]

Ploffing

ha ha ha:d


Steve, I have been running for four and a half years and it took me two of those to go sub 5.30
I am not built for running really

 

[Hollywood]

Hiya Hipps
There's no way you can escape me!
Sub-5 is wihin your reach easy right now.
With all the 9minute miling, you've done a sub-2 half might not be that far off!
Have a good and dry one on Sunday!

 

[benz]
