Training for London Marathon 2010 - Long Runs


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm looking for one or more persons who'd like to join me for part of the training for the London Marathon in April 2010.

I'm doing long runs, about 2 hours at slow to medium pace, usually on Saturdays or Sundays. This sometimes gets a bit boring on my own, so I thought company could be motivating and more fun. I'm not really interested in joining one of the running clubs/groups in the area here and would like to keep it on a private-no-money-involved basis.

I did the Berlin Marathon in 2008 and kept running since...

For the long runs I could offer quite a nice route starting at Peckham Rye Common and linking One Tree Hill, Sydenham Hill Wood, Crystal Palace Park and Dulwich Park (roughly 20 km or longer if wanted). I'm open for other suggestions though.

I also do runs around Peckham Rye on most weekday evenings and do a bit of speed training once a week in Peckham Rye Park (300m uphill, 800 m laps or 1 to 3 k fast).

Anyone interested in joining?

10 min miles is fine with me. I usually do between 8 and 10 min miles depending on distance. I won't be going over half marathon distance this year but did London last year. I've got a ten mile race first weekend in Jan so it might be worth hooking up in the new year. I'll drop you a PM.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
