Yeah he's planning to run track in college too. He's a bit more himself today.matedog wrote: ↑04 Jun 2023, 7:30pmFor real. 800 seemed brutal to me and I only did 400 once. I just remember hitting the wall at like 150m and misery for the remaining 250.gkbill wrote: ↑04 Jun 2023, 11:55amHello,revbob wrote: ↑04 Jun 2023, 11:47am400, and 4x400.
Thanks everyone he seems a bit better this morning
Unlucky for him. One of the benefits of track is he can still pursue a time regardless of where he runs. It might be a small consolation but...
The 400 and 800 are races of death - they're very difficult.
But yeah, I’ve had fun since high school doing various distance races and runs and improving times and trying to do better.

Oh, that stinks. I'm so sorry. Will he have another chance once he heals?

Re: IMCT Running Club
Sorry for the tough run of bad luck for your son, rev. Life stinks sometimes, but hopefully over the long run it will be a lesson in perspective.

Re: IMCT Running Club
So today I joined the annual pilgrimage of 60,000 people that run from Newcastle to South Shields to pay homage to Heston, also known as the Great North Run. It was very hot so my only goal was to survive the experience. I am pleased to report that I achieved my goal! After I had finished and I was on my coach ready to leave the peninsular that is South Shields, to get back to the real world, the heavens opened and the only road was completely flooded. In the end it took nearly 7 hours to get the 20 miles from the end of the run to Durham, where we are staying. My favourite bit of the whole day, after being stuck on the coach for a few hours was that Angels by Robbie Williams came on the radio. Stuck in South Shields listening to Heston’s mate. I think the other people on the coach were probably wondering why I was sniggering!

I looked online, it's 13.1 miles, don't know if I could have done it, I've never run over 10.

Well done. It's tough enough to run a half-marathon but to run it with that crowd (a small city!) is great!
Re: IMCT Running Club
Thanks all. No, Heston wasn’t there, or at least I don’t think so, I’m sure he can confirm, but I think Panic Report were playing a festival. I think they performed alongside the run one year in the past.

Well done mate.
I watched some of it on the bbc. I did see Heston break the record of the fastest man ever to reach Herons and back home before the race began.

Re: IMCT Running Club
Haha, well done mate. I was actually working at the event, looking after a team of refuse collectors near the Marsden Inn (The pub just before you head down the bank to the coast). I got absolutely soaked to the skin, it was like I had swam home when I got in. Made myself a decent wad of money though, the overtime rates are good for the Great North Run.laxman wrote: ↑10 Sep 2023, 6:16pmSo today I joined the annual pilgrimage of 60,000 people that run from Newcastle to South Shields to pay homage to Heston, also known as the Great North Run.

The best part of the day was watching my mate come fourth last, he was beaten by a 102 year old bloke.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I was going to message you beforehand to potentially meet up, but I had assumed you would still be in Redcar. Next time!
