Lickszz Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Originally posted by Fletch so you dont have to keep up all you need to do is finish!! some people in the london marathon didnt finish till about 5 days later!! It's just that the Sheffield Marathon doesn't receive the kind of support that the London Marathon does. Everything returns to normal 4-5pm and that includes Sweep Bus, St Johns and crowd encouragement all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichK Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I think there's a sweep bus that is timed to reach the finish at 2:45, and you're supposed to stay ahead of that. I don't know if you're forced to finish if the bus catches you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I try and stick to 4 fast-paced laps round Ecco park around 3 times a week and do alot of shuttles as they're good for speed and stamina- I use the Tennis Courts on Ecco Park for those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichK Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Anyone training for the half might be interested in the Lord Mayor's 10k this Sunday. Details Here The race passes through Don Valley stadium 7 times, and you are never more than 1K away from the stadium. Should be an excellent way of getting used to the big stadium!

PinkPiglet Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Yes I'm planning on doing the half this year! Not run that far before and not done much training yet. Planning on starting properly this weekend ... guess that gives me 7 weeks! If anyone fancies a training partner to do speed work in the park eg: Endcliffe or longer runs out Rivelin Valley way at the weekend then pm me, or contact me at: fit_kat@yahoo.co.uk PS: I'm not very fast & am aiming at a 10-min mile pace i.e. approx 2 hours 10 mins... In fact it will be an achievement just not to be picked up by the sweep bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombodojoj Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i might give this a go, im usually still drunk from sat night how far is it?12k?10k? then ill be off to training after it, lol, or off to the northen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkPiglet Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Er... it's 13.1 miles, which off the top of my head is approx 20K I think. And yes, if the sweep bus passes you after 2 3/4 hours then you're invited to 'retire' from the race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
