Other running / triathlon forums?

--amadeus--

Obviously this site is the biggest Irish running / tri forum but I hear others getting name checked a fair bit. What else is out there and what do people think are the strengths of the different boards?

I used to be a regular on the RunnersWorld website (www.runnersworld.co.uk) which is pretty strong. It's got a good range of discussions although the focus tends to be on mid pack and down and teh Events forum is great for races in teh UK and a lot of the larger European marathons. Tends to be very chatty and social but can be cliquey - each thread tends to have it's own mini-community but people are generally friendly once you get involved.

What other boards are out there though? And does anyone know of any good boards that specifically concentrate on Marathon / ultra discussion? Likewise are there any good podcasts available?

Cheers

Marathon Talk, obviously. There's also The Marathon Show, from the US, but I haven't listened to it.

Eightlane is pretty hardcore stuff for serious running chat. It's British-based and hardly moderated, which would appeal to some You'd need to have a thick skin to start mixing it on there. I lurk in the shadows occasionally.
