Another flex from me: managed a very happy 50 miles on Saturday at RunSandringham. It was a 24 hour race but I knew I wouldn't do too much - I originally signed up last year and had to defer and it fit a bit weirdly into the year. But I'm super pleased with it!
Rate the Majors!
Iโ€™m curious about the majors. As Iโ€™ve never ran one myself, Iโ€™d love to hear your opinions of the different marathons! 1. overall rating โญ 2. the course 3. value for money (race, travel, accommodation, medal, logistics) 4. vibes 5. would you run it again? Which one would you want to do next, or if you havenโ€™t done a major, which one would you want to do first?

I'm not super keen to do lots of road marathons, but I would like to do London - it's my 'home' marathon which is the major reason, I guess. I don't want to do it so much that I'll do anything other than continually enter the ballot and receive my rejection email ๐Ÿ˜‚
Tuesday Gear Thread ๐Ÿ’ฌ
What's new in gear? Shoes, nutrition, or gadgets you've bought or would like to try? Maybe something that caught your eye? Let us know in the comments. I'll share my finds below! โฌ‡๏ธ

@Nigel Taylor I haven't heard of the Beta Fuel sachets! Beyond the opening issues, how did you find them? Are they similar to the gels?

All Flex No Fail
Best Event Reward?
What kind of token of recognition do you MOST look forward to earning? I've never been a massive fan of medals for 'simply competing' - they just go straight in a drawer never to be seen again, BUT, having DNF'd and sat near a finish line yesterday, I REALLY coveted all the awesome people coming and collecting a medal. It felt actually earned and I think I finally 'got it' ! How about finisher t-shirts? Iron-on or velcro patches? Belt buckles? Certificates? Something more fun and collectible, like a "coin", a badge or similar? Or simple bottle of beer / chocolate is maybe reward enough in the moment?

I donโ€™t like finisher T-shirts that are crappy quality tech shirts. Iโ€™m never going to wear a race T-shirt running, but if I got a cool, good quality funky graphic T-shirt thatโ€™s just casual I would wear it. I love a medal and I have all my medals up on the wall (along with spouse and kidsโ€™ medals, our karate certificates, spouseโ€™s football awards etc).
