Well guys I did it!! ONG it was brutal! It was up up up down up up down it was relentless and on tarmac I found it hard on my legs, particularly my foot, while not the broken toe the big toe on that foot thanks to the bunion. My quad joined in and it was painful for a good bit of it. But it didnโ€™t detract from the amazing scenery and fantastic support along the route. Def one to do if you feel inclined.

Couple of pics:





I did it in 5.57.28, 10min of Kielder based on the marathon distance as both were over distance over the moon! I also felt good fuel wise def improvement over other runs/races. And weekend with the girls just made it.

Fantastic effort, gg. Marathons are tough without the hills. The last hilly one I did nearly beat me, so well done!

Maintained by geordiebells
*EDIT* in the current situation we are not entering races but I think we can still log any plans we may have over the coming months, whether it is learning a new skill, ticking jobs off a list, moving house(!), doing alternative exercise, aiming for training hours instead of miles, writing to family & friends, finding inventive ways to be together virtually or even entering virus races please fill in the planner and Iโ€™ll update this thread and keep our little social group going to share our goals.

Everyone is welcome, whether you don't want to set an official target or you may be aiming further but still want to pop by for a chat/offer some words of wisdom or just because the door is always open and kettle is on.
