  • Dear RTTB Team

    Dear RTTB Team, I had a terrific day on Sunday (although it's taken me a while to get over the pain to realise!). As I have said on the forums, the transport and weather problems didn't make for a great atmosphere, but I thought it was great....

  • Run to the Sleet

    I couldn't agree more with many of the negative comments posted re yesterday's event. The organisation was dreadful- whilst the transport nightmare was not the fault of the organisers thay failed miserably to actively ensure that people were informed...

  • Toilets...what toilets!

    I completly agree with all the comments about bad organisation, it was my first 1/2 marathon and I had certain expectations after talking to other people who had participated before but this fell way short of those. My biggest negative was the lack of...

  • Good comments

    I just wanted to say that I thought there was some good organisaitons and it wasn't all bad. I knew about four days prior to the race that there were going to be problems with the tubes however was travelling by car so this did not affect me. Also...

  • Already taking bookings for next year?! Joke!

    I think we all agree that the event was a complete shambles. Can anyone else believe that they have already started taking payment for the next Run To The Beat 2009?!!! I mean they haven’t even posted the results for this one yet! Not to mention...

  • Results

    I know I ran, and my body certainly knows I ran, a friend has a photo of me crossing the finish in a reasonable time, but I did not receive a text after the run, nor does my name appear on the racelive website. I had my timing chip, ran over all of the...

  • Are we going to get an apology from the organisers?

    It would be nice to hear from the organisers on this website in regards to an apolgy...and not an excuse about the weather etc Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit!

  • Music- or lack of it

    I ran on the advice of the organisers, without my MP3 as I was promised a plethora of bands throughout the course.....hmmm. I found the race very flat (not to mention wet of course) probably because the majority ran in silence. I usually run with music...

  • Sunday's Weather

    The weather is not looking great for Sunday. The BBC is forecasting rain with a high of 16 and a low of 12. The weather channel rate the chance of rain as 60 percent. The met office says there will be rain at times and Google predict rain with a high...

  • Don't make me a celebrity!

    The news that Channel 4 will be filming the race on Sunday has got me in a bit of a tizzy. When I go for a run I pray that nobody sees me, so the notion that video cameras may shoot me huffing and puffing my way around the course is very disturbing. Maybe...

  • Bring Back The Positive - Nearly Time....

    After a disastrous and really low training weekend, convinced I can't do it, I don't enjoy seeing others (on forums) displaying similar negative thoughts, but it has helped (in addition to very supportive friends!) to know I'm not the only...

  • Come one, come all

    Now that we’ve reached the tapering stage of the training schedule (my favourite part ) I thought it was about time to think about how to get as many friends and family to watch the event as possible. If the weather is beautiful it will be easy...

  • last long run

    Did the last long run before the race today: a steady 9-miler. It went all right: I'd been out the night before, but not drinking so didn't feel too bad, and managed to avoid having any heavy meals in the morning before heading off :-D The main...

  • Don't know why I thought I could do this..

    ... but it seemed like a good idea at the time :( I'm hoping out of 10,000 applicants for RTTB I'm not the only one to go through this, not that I wish it on anyone, but would be nice to know I'm not abnormal (although it has been said I am...

    20mins on the treadmill and I didn't have the energy to go further. What a sh1tty run, but had to blog as said I would. Rest and lots of water today. Better luck tomorrow hopefully. Oh I can tell you that Cha Cha Slide makes you want to do just that...

  • Had to Share This..

    1 week to go ;) Okay, the anti-bs and painkillers are having a horrific effect on my body that I might lose that half stone by next week yet! Am sorting music (for the 100th and hopefully final time), and confess am getting so obssessed by this run (all...
