Sat in my office right now with my baby oil and tissues under the desk contemplating a wank over the internet porn I've been watching in the other browser window.....

..... we know what you're thinking   .

Signing up for a 21km trail run in April. Never done one before. 800m of climbing. Am I going to die? Might walk the hills to be fair we'll see.

Nice!

I love trail running. Walking hills is the way forward. You can move quite quickly.

Currently in South Wales carbing-up at my in-laws in readiness for the Beast of the Blacks in the Brecon Beacons tomorrow.

Doing the 20 miler. Lots of elevation.

There was a 40 mile option.

Best of luck! 

Since China decided the covid isn't a thing any more race scene is opening up again. Would quite like to do a marathon (never done one) this year here but we'll see. Prior to covid often there were races around the country that would pay for a flight and accommodation for pasty white blokes to join their race so they could show off how international it is! Wouldn't mind a weekend out in the sticks somewhere to do that!

Went out for an hour around the Thames and very nice it was too.

Definitely one of those where the thought of going out was much worse than the actual run.

I'm doing a half marathon trail run in the Chilterns in July. Could be quite hot...

Did my weekly Friday off-roader by Studley Castle this afternoon with some club-mates.
Always a great start to the weekend!

So scratch that.Yesterday evening bloke I know says possible marathon in Taiyuan (aka middle of nowhere) and might be able to forgo the lottery for entry cus he knows the organiser. China's back!

Does give me 8 weeks to prep for my first marathon mind if it does come off so that's gonna be a challenge.

Knee is still a little sore after that half marathon a fortnight ago, ran 1 x 5km last week and 1 x 10km today. Should I be resting more after half’s?

It depends - listen to what your body is telling you!

Sounds like good advice. Im only 37, but distance running has never been my thing. Will go lightly for a few weeks and see where I’m at.

Thank you. Amazing scenery. Lots of snow on the higher ground.

Slightly achy today. But, the benefit is that I can eat loads to aid recovery   

My only advice with a marathon is try and do one where you know there will be crowds watching. The energy from them cheering does make a difference and provides a boost. 

I've run Newport three times to try and get a good time (as it's flat), but so much of there course was in the middle of nowhere with hardy any spectators, that it became quite a battle.

Sounds good.

Salt. Lots of salt. Salt sticks. Rehydrating salts in your water.
