    Grateful we at least have the national masters t&f going ahead

    Hopefully, although there is a caveat in the small print that that date could yet be changed. Hopefully not.

    About that, wonder if Run the Line will go ahead in mid-Nov, it's all I've got left now that ever other thing I'd entered has bit the dust.

    This went virtual a few weeks back. Opted for virtual route and that DWMRT retain the surplus cash.

    Anyone aware of any clubs with provisional plans still in place for events before April?
    From what I can see the calendar staples up to that point are still up in the air with nobody commiting yet or even advertising.

    It seems to be looking that way unfortunately, had April in mind and it seems everyone is afraid to be first to jump.

    Lindie's blog is even down to a few ones in the North up to April.

    The big city marathons & Conn seem to be still standing but it's hard to be optimistic about them or the likes of Raheny with big corals at the start lines.

    Yeah cant see the government allowing much.
    Unless something changes 2021 could be as bad 2020 sadly

    What we could do is everyone form a GAA team. Then instead of a game, one Sunday lets all just go for a run and see how we do against each other.

    Given the hundreds playing soccer in a small area every weekend in St Anne's, this seems like a good idea.

    No idea how it's ok.

    After watching the Cork v Kerry match today..
    It really stretches the imagination to say they're elite.

    Really?? Well worth the avg €1m per county investment so.
    "On top of the €15m provided by the Government for the running of the current championships, the GAA, LGFA, and Camogie Association will be provided with close to €31m."

    Glad I was watching real professional in the Vuelta so

    I've written off the indoor season completely and don't think I'll have a race until May.

    Just ticking over 4 days a week at 70% at the moment, so I'll have a base for when I ramp it up. Absolutely no point killing myself at the moment when I don't need to be in shape for another 6 months.

    Really dying for the gyms to open back up. Haven't been in one since March and was really hoping to build back up my strength over the winter. They'll probably open for 5 weeks then close again. Rinse, repeat.

    It really sucks away the motivation to train hard.

    Is this a sign that sports administrators and organisers have been told on the quiet that nothing will happen before summer 2021 for larger field events?

    Larger events like big city marathons take massive logistical planning so hopefully we might still see the smaller races < 1000 back in the spring.

    Would hope Limerick/Connn/Cork hold out till Feb at least.

    I dont think so. I'd say its just forward planning and they dont want to have to deal with constant questions.

    If the vaccine is real, we should be up and running by April, summer the latest. That's just what i think
