Hey Squash,
This almost sounds too good to be true :0)
Apart from the state of the British roads and drivers I quite fancy trying the EliptiGo but how much do the cost in UK?
Cheers, Poul

Hiya,
Is there a more detailed route map/itinery being published? Would be great to ride alongside showing moral support on one of your days. I’m down south (UK) on the outskirts of Portsmouth (A27 corridor) if any help is needed.
Good luck guys

Squash, just read this and feel so inspired I almost jogged out of the office and just set off running! Needless to say I haven’t and am currently eating a large twix with a packet of crisps on the side but still. Think i can make the 23rd. It’s Simon’s brithday on the 25th so just need to double check we’re not going away or something then i’m in. I’ll let you know xxx

Comment on “I’m not a runner…” by Ruth

Ruth — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 06:16:07 +0000

I have never been a runner either – nor what I would call ‘fit’ but I decided when I got to NZ that no one would know the wobblying jelly going past the window and so I really should give it a go. I started out doing the run a minute, walk 5 minute schedule and that almost killed me (did I mention I was unfit then?). Six years on I have traded in my $40 trainers after suffering heel spurs (not nice) and now have some which cost me over $350 but have had no problems since. As far as running a marathon! I, like you, have not yet found my running gene with a 30 minute session (sorry still run/walk) on the treadmill about my limit (mostly due to boredom). I can only really pass on others advice, as you move through the field count how many people you pass, knowing you are at least faster than all of them may help you keep on going, especially as you should probably take numbers off when they pass you The running of a half marathon doubly impresses me as as a lay person I can cleary imagine what it will be like for you and the only reason I haven’t done it myself is due to my own lazyness and lack of motivation.

Comment on I love this jacket! by Squash

Of course, it’s first and foremost a drinking jacket. I’ve only tested it for tea drinking though – you would have to do the gin testing! Which I’m sure you could cope with …
