Well done you. The longest I have managed is 8.5 miles and it nearly killed me. Not sure how I'm going to do the half marathon! Think I'll be lagging behind you speedy! :P

The trainers will make a big difference. Make sure you restart training gradually too:)

Thanks, hopefully they will reduce the strain on it. The race is in less than a fortnight now, so I'm just going to do whatever runs I can and see what happens... but at least my shorts will match.

It was a bit warm, wasn't it? My sun-burnt neck is not thanking me lol :)
I also had an epiphany that if I run that route the other way round, it'll be downhill for 75% of the run, rather than uphill for 75% of the run... common sense rules!about 2 years ago • Like

Ha ha - actually if you look at the paces of our runs, we're not that different. And to be fair, I don't think either of us will be troubling the world record on the 13th!! :)
As long as you realise I am incredibly competitive and I WILL sprint the last 30 metres just to cross the line in front of you...about 2 years ago • Like

Thanks Mab :) Yeah, still feels a bit grindy (best way I can think of describing it) but nothing too major... and anything is better than having to go swimming instead ;)

Grindy is okay according to my physio, so long as it's not accompanied by pain. Great run despite not being 100%

Not quite as far today, but was incredibly hilly! Went off route down some random public byeway which was essentially a mud track between farmers' fields. Good fun, and lots of uphill struggles!
