Looking for Marathon Wingman - May 31

[VladtheImpaler]

I find it a lot easier to run far if I have some company, so if anyone is interested, looking for a running/training partner for the May 31 Calgary marathon. I plan to run it in about 4 hrs +/- 10 mins. If you are interested in running the race together, and perhaps doing a few training runs (the 20 mile Sunday runs in particular), drop me a line. My first marathon, I chatted to some old fellow from Chicago for the last 30 k - made it a lot easier and enjoyable.

Can I drive my car beside you?

A tad manly for my taste...

This thread title is totally misleading. I thought this was for a weekend in Vegas or something along those lines.

Good luck in your run though.

So you are up for a marathon in Vegas though?

If the cops let you and you can maintain a conversation for 3.5 hrs while driving.

I don't even do things I like for 3.5 hours.

[Aeneas]

Why don't you split it up?

I am willing to take any 100 m stretch that no one else wants.

If you want to talk about Eger, I could do another 75 m for you.

[VladtheImpaler]

There you go - maybe b/w 400+ CPers, I can have company for all 42.4 km. People will think it's some sort of a gay pride thing, but...

Cannot help ya with the training but good luck nevertheless Vlad. You plan on running the whole way or mixing in a few walk breaks?

Thanks. I always run the whole way (unless I crash).

Can't you join a group that wants to run in a certain period of time? I know they have that in the Detroit Free Press marathon.

Vlad have you looked at the running room clinics?

You have to pay but you will get instructions and group runs

[C-Four]

If you're looking for someone to run with for the training bit I'd do LSD's with you I live in the NW...

Edit: the running room has free "clinics" on Wednesday and Sundays, the sunday ones are nice, the long run sucks alone... Some of the other running stores have free clinics too...

[VladtheImpaler]

Thanks. I know about the clinics - not my thing - just looking for 1 or 2 people, not 40.

Maybe this guy is available?
