RadioactiveWaste Posted October 29, 2022 Author Share Posted October 29, 2022 https://www.matlockac.org.uk/race/white-peak-marathon/ I'm in for this. C'mon, it'll be an adventure up the Tissington trail and down the High Peak Trail. On a lovely sunny sunday in May next year. Get your trainers on and lets jog!

Didn't ever do this race, but did the Gosforth 10 mile. The most mad one I did was Keswick to Barrow 42 mile "walk" - I walked it but I know some who ran it as if it were an ultra.

Might take a look at those races. Next up for me is Paris half marathon in March (for 20th wedding anniversary).. ? RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 I've signed up for a few local club races over the winter to keep me in the habit and not hide inside eating mince pies for 3 months. Couple fo 10ks and a hilly 12.5k, lasy year i had a big break and getting back up to speed was sooooo hard. 5k under 30 minutes and 10k under 1hr are my immediate goals, and although i'm not there yet, i can feel them getting closer. Although, when they say there's always gonna be someone better than you, so don't worry about it, when we do interval training with my running group, I end up getting smoked by a guy who's 76. Although to be fair, the dude's a absolute legend. Dean (hick) Saunders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Found out on Friday that I’ve got a charity place for the London marathon. I lost a very close friend in March. He had lived with MS for over 20 years and ended up in a wheelchair (although it was covid that got him), so I’m raising money for the MS Society. I started running a couple of years ago and did the Birmingham half marathon in May. The furthest I’ve run is 15 miles but I think I’ll be ok. My worry is my body falling apart - I’m 47, I’ve had one knee operation and my back isn’t great!

Just keep regular and consistent and find a training plan you can stick to (-ish) I'd guess there's probably some decent guidance around for managing the milage and doing cross training (swimming etc) of you do a bit of searching.

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 I need to manage 9 to get to 700 for the year but I've been struggling with the most unfunny funny injury, the groin strain. Managed the Christmas day parkrun and didn't feel it too much so a couple of easy jogs should do it. Dean (hick) Saunders and Anag Ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your running. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Anyone doing the Carsington Water half or 10k tomorrow? I’m doing the half as part of my marathon training. Looks like it’s warming up by tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
