      I was going to say to your world champion runner friend, who used to be a paralegal. Rather than come to london as professional run, come and use it as a fun run. A chance to get to know the london organisers
      Go running with the club runners it will make their day to be running with a super star runner.

      @@ason2023 LOL Galaxy brain question. Hokas are good, but I'd suggest trying them on before you get them, if you get them, because, at least in my opinion, they tend to run narrow. They do have a generous return policy though. That said, I'm a brooks fan personally 🤣

    I volunteered for the NY Road Runners Club, which puts together the NY Marathon, in the Eighties and worked their merchandise sales room at the Sheraton Hotel on the days before the race. You wouldn’t believe how much merchandise they sell. Runners want that memorabilia for themselves and to bring back to others. My wildest sale was a guy who wanted 70 Marathon T-shirts, all the same size, that he could bring back to his village in China. No problem.

    This is the first video of this channel I've seen. She did an 11 minute 11 second pace. Considering Macy never ran beyond 18 miles and considering she was doing 6 miles at a 13 minute pace week 1, this was a FANTASTIC result. The best I've ever done is 10 miles at a 10:31 pace. At some point, the issue becomes more about training your feet to handle the additional miles, but I could definitely keep that pace up for more miles. I'd love to one day do the marathon.

    I work in the events industry... and heaps goes into an event to put it on! Staff and labour simply to put the event together, everything you see needs to be constructed, and then removed post-event, clean up crew, THOUSANDS of volunteers, cost of the timing company, bibs, timing chip, postage of the bibs (or bib collection needs to all be arranged pre-event). At the event you have port-a-loos - HEAPS, security, staff, volunteers, directors, and commentators. Hiring of equipment, all of the gates are usually hired as well... so much goes into events!
