My bold: Real McCoy would be right, but the real P Coy? Not even close, it was just the 10 miler.

Congratulations though, you did well and your blog was pretty good too.
Thanks for your congrats.

It was just too good an opportunity to miss - Real McCoy - Real P Coy - it kinda rhymes you know ...

Your review really reminded me of the day. Nice one!
Glad you liked it.

There were definitely P Coy Challenge runners with trainers as I was pipped to the post by one of them and the photos of my finish prove it! There was no checking at the start or finish - I'm not really that miffed about it ...

Here's my Paras 10 experience http://www.anthonypounder.com/blog/cns! ... !929.entry

I tabbed the new paras10 route yesterday and it is an absolute beast.

Do tell more - with only 9 days to go I'm all ears. I was a bit worried when I saw the newish route map @ http://www.paras10.com/files/routemap.pdf where it mentions 5 hills and "waist height water" :-(

Are you still on for ...

On this years race i am the "pace setter" for anyone wanting too do the 10 miler in 1:50

Can anyone run along with you? I'd be more than happy to get in @ 1:49:59.....

This year the route is slightly different to last year, along with big nod now you have to do a little trip up "pussy" hill ...

[quote="sky ninja steve"]wot do you mean p coy challenge?? do you mean just the ten miler? cos its a long way off the full p coy


I mean the 10 miler with bergan and boots "The P Coy Challenge" http://www.paras10.com/pcoychallenge.php. I'm not looking to join the paras (far too old) but I'm hoping ...

Anyone signed up for this years Para 10? I've trained up to a couple of 10 milers with 35lb bergan and managed times of between 1:36 and 1:45. I've been using www.gmap-pedometer.com to map my training efforts and until today I thought I was doing the required hills as well but I've just discovered ...

When did you do this? What other stuff do you need to do to make it as a para (not that I intend doing anymore than the P Coy Challenge ;->)

Airborne Legend wrote:I wouldn't bother trying to harden your feet, just leuko tape all the points that rub the first time you take your boots for a walk.

Cheers for the reply.

Excuse my ignorance but what's "leuko tape" and where can I get it ?

Final one, do you know if the miles are marked?

Bumping this back up.

Is anyone else doing it this year?
Hey Beanpole, I'm signed up to the P Coy Challenge.

How's your training going? Ordinarily, I'm a long distance runner but I'm recovering from a 8 month knee injury, culminating in an op last October so I'm not really at the top of my game ...
