The rest of 2011 - between marathons

RE: The rest of 2011 - between marathons
Interesting points Dan.

Having done the Oxenhope Straw Race again this year on a stinking hot day I can testify that heat can play a real factor. Even after choosing a white turban to deflect the heat. Having said that, if it's just running that's involved (ie take away the straw, beer and turban) then heat doesn't usually deter me. Maybe I'm lucky in that respect.

But I would have thought that for somebody like yourself, who's been running for a while now, that just getting round a 10k, without racing for a time, wouldn't be that satisfying.

Certainly joining a club gives an even better angle to an event: racing other people. In this case even the clock takes a back-seat as you develop friendly rivalries to earn points for championships etc.
