Next Challenge


Now that Stanwick is out of the way it is back to endurance training all the way, have the Stansted Trail Marathon late in December and planning for a 100km run very early in January.


For 2010 I'm planning

1. To run 100km - probably in January
2. To go back and run the Ridgeway end to end
3. Do the across Wales run, and then back again

I also have a few days in the Howgills in Feburary and in the Lakes in April so hopeful will get some good runs in there as well.

A big thank you to everybody who has helped me raise money for Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital.

3 weeks later . . .

Its now just over three weeks since I completed the Ridgeway, the blisters have almost totally healed up, and most of the numbness in my toes has gone. I've hiked/camped the last couple of weekends and got a few short runs and rides in just to keep some level of fitness but now need to start concentrating on getting back into the flow.

While I was focusing on long distance endurance Louise had been working on speed, we went out mid-week for about 5 miles and I had to struggle to keep up. She's now in training for the Royal Parks Half and I've still to pick my next race/challenge although I think we'll both run the Letchworth Standalone 10K which is just a week after her 1/2M (which should give me the edge).

Depending on the weather I think I plan a long run or ride tomorrow and then get down to some sensible training next week.
