Late '14 - Lightly Limbering Up for London

RE: Late '14 - Lightly Limbering Up for London
Late to the Boff Walley debate here. I enjoyed the book for it's unique, somewhat zealous perspective. There's an attraction in such conviction, even if at times it seems harsh on those less able to scarper off into God's country thanks to a nefarious vocation.

I broadly agree with Boff's views on Big Races, but feel it's easy to do so when you yourself are 'done' with them. City Marathons served their purpose in my running life and left me with some exceptional memories. Free Running was rekindling my affair with the sport, though. I'll return to the paths less trod once I have a base level of fitness. For me, the roads are lost to the automobile.

XC is big news in Sussex. The races are muddy as all hell but my mates who take part wouldn't miss them.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
