QuoteOriginally posted by: CuchulainnQuoteRunning was always a big thing in our family, specially running away from the police. It's hard to understand. All I know is that you've got to run, running without knowing why, through fields and woods. And the winning post's no end, even though the barmy crowds might be cheering themselves daft. That's what the loneliness of a long distance runner feels like. Saturday night, Sunday morning

The better-run races use a wave system with runners seeded into groups with similar documented race finish times. But it's still up to each runner to be considerate in terms of whether they are fast or slow starters and should be in the front or back of the starting pack.
