Preparing for Hedgehog Half Marathon

Sunday 22nd Sep After a rest week to recover from GNR last week This week I've begun preparing for Hedgehog Half Marathon my last half of 2024, this one is local. 9.5 miles today, some solo, some with company. Share

Great North Run Completed

Monday 9th Sep Completed my 11th GNR in a time of 2 hours, 28 minutes and 21 seconds, some way off my PB but not my slowest time either. Probably the wettest GNR I've ever done, rain didn't stop until I was about half way round. It was actually quite nice for running but not very nice when waiting to start and rather chilly at the end. Share

Nearly there

Monday 2nd Sep Completed my last long training run, 11 miles last Thursday (better late than never!). Now enjoying the taper ahead of Sunday. Hoping for cooler than last year (and no thunderstorm at the end!) Share

GNR Training

Wednesday 7th Aug Local 10 mile race run at the start of July, thankfully it was a fairly cool day. After a couple of weeks of lower mileage I'm now back to getting the long runs in, plan is 9 miles today... Share

Time to taper!

Sunday 25th Feb 12 miles run today in sunshine, was frosty when we set off but bright sunshine all the way round.  Share

Last Long Training Run Done

Sunday 25th Feb Share

Spring half marathon training

Sunday 28th Jan I decided I'd get an early start on training so I've entered Retford half marathon in March, it's one I've run before but not since 2020. Should mean I'm fitter for GNR than I was last year... Share
