“ Adding to Skillo's point, it does seem to me that the very topic the media could focus on is the extent of Masters representation in the sport, which was once dominated by senior runners by looking at... ”

“ Will Edwin (and van Barneveld?) run Vosseler with Huntly Half the next day? ”

“ I think the event is coming along in leaps and bounds as a running festival and congratulate the team at Sport Wellington for the work they are doing to continually improve the event (including connec... ”

“ Agree Rees. Inge is excellent. ”

“ I am with Biltong. Harden up and show some pride. Personally I think club runners should wear club uniforms in major races unless there are sponsorship kit issues (which can often be integrated anyway... ”

“ Michael, while I too liked the course,nbsp;I am not sure I would go as far as suggesting doing Saturdays course in reverse. The climb from the south-eastern end of the course to the high point would b... ”

“ Yes I thought the comment about depth was interesting. Maybe the lack of quality timesnbsp;now, compared to what we used tonbsp;see in tough events like Rotorua in the 1980snbsp;even by solid club/jou... ”

“ Yes, a fantastic run by Kerry, which is consistent with his dominating form in the recent Shoe Clinic 5k series in Christchurch including a 15.12. Kerry keeps getting better wth age while some of us a... ”

“ I agree that doing huge numbers of laps on the track is not only bad for your mental toughness, but your mental health. Matt your uncle Geralds? 14 x 1km as part of a long run isnbsp;pretty good for b... ”

“ Dont know about other centre turnouts but 350-odd across all the events not too bad. Looks a bit like an Hour Glass with solid numbers in the Masters 77, about par in the Seniors although mostly the Y... ”
