RRT 30: Swift Half

Join us on 20 May at 4pm EST when friends from the online running community in the UK will talk about meeting up in the REAL WORLD to run the White Peak "Swift" Half in the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire. Its called a swift half because the last part is screaming downhill about 1000 ft. (PR sure bet!)

Steve Chopper from the a mile with me podcast is hosting, Phil from Runcast.tv is timekeeper and other runners Petra (http://petraruns.blogspot.com/), Mark (mytimetorun.blogspot.com), Gary and Toni (http://www.drusy.blogspot.com/ blog). We're passing out cards Steve Chopper made for the WWFOR, so we'll see how the sales pitch goes....
