Well done Geordiegirl, an amazing achievement running 64.4 miles in appalling conditions.
Ran my 67th not a parkrun 5k on trails this morning with my running buddy in 28.49.

Amazing effort GG and an unforgettable experience with your friend.
Are you planning another or is it a one off?
We managed a 5 mile explore of Cromer part overgrown trail which was challenging in the lashing rain, also good fun.
Another great NPR HS.

Sounds like a very enjoyable, but challenging overgrown trail run LL in lashing rain. The rain has held off here so far, but a thunderstorm is forecast for this evening.
We are running our NPR's a bit slower, now that we are into the marathon training.

Thanks guys. I’m feeling so good after the run only suffered with a couple of blisters due to wet feet
I have got The Wall booked for next June which is 70m I was a tad worried as that is a solo effort but I’m sure I’ll be fine.
Next though is Loch Ness mara in Oct

I did it 2019 is beautiful mostly downhill which a few weeks after my first 50k which had way too many steps to contend with killed my quads. Liked it enough to go back (despite the horrendous rain & wind at the start)

Loch Ness was my first marathon in 2017. I absolutely loved it and will definitely go back and do it again at some point. gg yes there is a lot of downhill, but don’t forget the uphill bit around mile 19 😬 I was so happy to get to the top and realise I only had to run 10k down into Inverness to finish.

Oh yes it was a cheeky climb. At least I’m prepared for how long that run along Inverness and back to finish is this time.

A hilly 11k road run this morning. It was very humid again, but I think I'm getting acclimatised 😅
