Excellent going Hampton for your first one, a lady I know nearly 60 came in under 10 hours Cheers Northy - Winner was 6 hrs 43 - how mad is that! Last was just over 17 hrs - I'm happy to be somewhere in the middle of that! I don't think there's many sports outside of long distance or Ultra running where elite's line up with your every day Joe and "compete" together.

It's the week after Thunder Run, so despite my last post, I can promise no heroics 😉 It's also my daughter's 4th birthday so I've been told I'm running with a balloon and a stupid hat.

Eased back to a steady 16 miles this morning, 10 miles race pace, then slow 6 with some club guys. This stream is normally not more than a trickle

I pulled something last week at Knighton. Haven't been able to run properly at all this last week, too painful. Put on my big boy pants this morning, and got some pain killers in me and it felt better. Feels fine when I'm not running, but feels like I'm getting stabbed when I'm running. 3 weeks today until Manchester, one last big week of training to get through. I'm not too worried about last week as I'd not missed a single session on my plan before that.

Fleet Half for me yesterday, 1:31 which I'm well happy with as a) 2nd best half time off ever, b) sub 7 m/m pace, c) I had energy for a little pick up in the final 3 miles (went through 10m in 1:09:55 which was a little too close to target pace)

Can't really complain as I've done the last 3 VLM's though. I am training with a friend who is doing it though so am in reasonable shape at the moment.
