As I discussed on fb, it does seem rather archaic that XC on its own still distinguishes between different race distances for men and women, when on the road and track we're competing over the same distances. I've got a love/hate relationship with the 15k Southern champs, although I guess it does actually suit my endurance bias.
Marathon shoes are here! My current Boston Boost only have just over 200 miles in them, but I'll keep them for MP long tempo training runs. These will have one short test run, then Bath Half Marathon, then the big one. Marginal bouncy gains and all that.

I don't like the southern at stanmer park. especially with train line engineering works and nowhere to park a car!

Debate point within my clubs fb page is bigger step-up in distance will stop progression from u17 to Sen.
Slightly odder argument was pitched too (by Sen M runner) around extra damage underfoot meaning parks may be unwilling to host races!
