Let's Run

I might be the last runner in the world to find this, but LetsRun.com is the most fun I've had online since I found Oddee. 
The site has all the running news, told from a runner's perspective (none of that nonsense from a typical news site, which might say something like, "Smith won a coveted BQ in his Sunday marathon" etc). It also has some really lovely message boards.
The message boards are great.
The topics vary, but many actually do have to do with running. Some you might even care about. There's a lot of "I'M A RUNNING STUD LISTEN TO MY OPINION!" stuff out there, but there is also really good advice from seasoned runners. 
Plus, message boards are just fun to read. They're like blog comments without the blog.  
Ever been to LetsRun.com? Ever posted a question?
I actually have. Not that long ago. I'll let you find it. First person to find it buried in the threads wins.

    "Specific training to run sub 3:0 marathon?"

    Thanks for the tip about LetsRun. I'm an avid Beginner Triathlete member and follower, but I bet I can find some good stuff here too.

    Have a great week!

    Nope, you're not the last runner - I've never heard of it. I'm always up for another way to waste my time on the internet! ;-)
    Thanks for sharing!!

    What do I win? :-)

    I enjoy your blog, so I'm just teasing.

    I read Let's Run occasionally but find some of the arrogance a little nauseating. Or maybe it just makes me aware of my own limitations :-)

    I hadn't heard about this website before, very interesting. A lot of clutter at first glance.

    But, I really enjoyed reading through the responses to your sub 3 hr post, wow some of those people are knowledgeable, some of the others are very dry and non-frilly in their answers! I almost interpreted it as rude, but I guess they're just very to-the-point, but helpful!

    I liked their recommendation for training between marathons.
