How do you propose to garner proof?

I thought Paula Radcliffe sort of touched cloth but stopped short of a full movement.  I think I recall criticising her for not trying hard enough because of this.

Probably true...twas probably only a bit that came out.

Kin, what do you mean "garner proof"? You go over to the side of the road...do a  nr2..and then go and finish the race...you don't need to shit your self FFS!

All the best. I have been for one run since Xmas day, so even if a last minute gold place came through now, I doubt i'd be able to take it. Next year though.

Are u posting a weekly forerunner summary?

How will you know if I do it, or if I just say I did?

Best to wait until next year and you'll have time to prepare properly.

Good point, we'd need some sort of evidence.

If I ever ran a marathon I would get as close to the start line as possible and sprint my bollocks off for like 2-3 miles being at the front before I would collapse on the floor and get trampled by 20,000 people. Imagine the TV time.

Unless your a very very good 5k runner your sprinting is very unlikely to get you to the front!

If you do get in front though, just shoot everyone as they come past and stroll to the finish when you're done.

Two problems with this.  Firstly, the elite runners are VERY quick.  They run at under 5minute/mile pace, and I wouldn't be able to run that pace for one mile. 

The other problem is that the elite runners start from a different line to the mass field.

Just been out for a run - managed 9 miles today, but my legs were heavy after playing hockey yesterday.  Still need to up my weekly mileage though.
