Any Runners On Here??

I posted a link earlier to the Spine Race, 268 miles along the Pennine Way, Edale to Kirk Yetholm. The winner finished this morning after 73 hours, a new record for the winter challenge, he only had 54 minutes sleep.

Interesting read on some ultra running, and on Courtney Dauwalter.

I often wonder if putting your body through such extremes will cause health problems later in life? You don't seem to read of many endurance athletes reaching a great age.

I've got the Montane Spine jacket named after that race. It was a bit pricy but is a great bit of kit.

Someone told me they knew of someone going that...
I bust my hip 9months ago so that probably ruined my chances of running over 100miles again?
Running haworth hobble in a months time so will see how I feel?

Local Parkrun cancelled today, (ice) went for a 5k on the cycle / shared path. It was like Bambi on Ice!

Our one was one with a massive field due to other cancelled. Route changed to a mini course 4 laps round the park. Funniest think was the course director had us turn round which meant the fastest were at the back and slowest at the front! I didn't bother moving much so the first 1/2k I was walking and the rest of the run trying to move up the field!

What training plan are you following? I’m doing Manchester too and don’t routinely run 24k for a couple more weeks.

Did park run 20.29 without trying too hard...

Then a 10k tempo run in the evening.

Need to build up mileage for Haworth hobble!

Back on plan after some time in the arctic, where several short runs where in order.

14k today in windy conditions.

Did the Thornbury Parkrun yesterday in South Gloucestershire.
A real mudfest although speaking to the locals the conditions were better than usual.
Finished in exactly 30:00 minutes... 👍

I’ve committed to doing a George Fisher Tea Round in May with some guys from my running club. Eek! 😬

That looks like a grand day out👍
My endurance is shot but I think it's great that they have the shorter " Espresso round " ☕️
