Good on yeah B taking this on, you're some man for punishment
I haven't been very involved lately but that 5k thread was the closest I got to race excitement this year so that would have to get my vote for race of the year.
Murph_D is the log and race report of the year for me. I've enjoyed his log all year from the first lockdown and his shenanigans in the hills of Donegal, right through the marathon journey with the rollercoaster of trying to plan a marathon when all around you is falling apart!
I think Laineyfrecks deserves an award for her unfaltering happiness and pure joy of running throughout a pandemic (and not to mention putting up with stick from you lot
)
Yes Murph_D will be my vote for race report of the year for his epic virtual marathon report:)
Wouldn't exactly say I was happy all the time but the consistency of the running defo helped!
I do agree I put up with a LOT of stick on here;)0 -

All have comeback from fairly decent injuries or ailments and deserve recognition for perseverance and dedication to a pastime.

My thoughts....not my votes
1. OONegative....yeah it's for volume over quality I suppose
2. No thoughts on this. The lack of races made for lots of samey training diaries.
3. The one where the lunatics came to have a go at our dirty, sweaty, bad mannered attitude to running during lockdown.
4. No idea really due to my much reduced usage of Strava and Boards. Not sure I can even name a 2020 newcomer....
5. CBG, Lambay Island and Laineyfrecks would all have fair claims from the little I have read. It seems they all managed multiple and substantial 'PB' times.
6. For me it had to be Murph's...simple as that.
7. Raheny 5 mile. A nod to the late great PH. Brilliant race as always. Oh and the fact it's a race helps too. The Boards TTs were great craic but in my little mind only real races count for this.
8. Again I haven't been reading much here so no idea really.
9. OONegative. To have fought off the affects of Covid-19 when it was at its worst during the first wave and come back running is a huge testament to the man's determination....even if he had to stop for a breather mid TT.
10. Murph's 26.2 mile TT. I know the arbitrary sub 3 marathon, sub 5/6 etc miles and various other times for distances tend to catch the eye but they take no account of the variables. For me this was the performance of the year....0 -
