Evening all.
Not been on for a while as is the case these days.I am over in the USA having well deserved break, but flying back tomorrow

My cafe was flooded before xmas as was most of the village, we were absolutely gutted as we had put everything we had into the business. Work is ongoing and hopefully we will be open just before easter.
Running has taken a back seat but we are working on getting some cover in for the new season so I can get some miles in!!

Hello everyone! Just joined the forum and would like someone to tell me which part of the Snowdonia Marathon is the hardest! I'm scared cos this will be my first marathon!

Brrr .... that's one cold wind blowing out there tonight. Just back from an 8 mile club run and had to run hard to keep from freezing! Still, at least it was dry, which makes a change

Hi Christina - welcome to the "madhouse". The hardest part is entering, the rest is a doddle There are a few on here who did Snowdonia as their first marathon, so I'm sure they'll be happy to offer a few thoughts. It's a great race and once you've run it, you'll be thinking about entering again before you've left Llanberis

Hi guys- back from the dead again!! I ran our local bumpy trail parkrun in a comfortable 20.08 today, but apart from a recovery run on Monday followed by a sports massage that has been it! This happens EVERY February- work just gets so hectic at this time of year that running has to take a back seat. Might well have to reassess my target for VLM, but hey- ho.... The bonus is that the job lets me train like a demon for autumn maras

16miles in the snow (falling rather than on the ground) up the the pass and back again for me this morning. Nice to clear the cobwebs before the rugby, the Eisteddfod with the youngest and then a party tonight. After football and the usual Sunday madness tomorrow I think I'll be going back to work on Monday for a rest!

brer- well done

panad- snow?? Good going!

TR41- hope you shake the cold soon, but doesn't sound like it's getting in your way- lol!

Got my sorry butt out of the door today for a 16 miler (recovery week- although I may have taken that to extremes- lol!) Bit of rust in the legs, but it was ok cos the plan was to run it comfortably- last mile at pmp though 6m all up, 2m flat, 6m all down = 16m in 1.54.19 (7.09 av) splits for those who like that kind of thing : 7:29 7:27 7:26 7:25 7:25 7:29 7:29 7:24 7:21 7:25 7:12 6:43 6:42 6:37 6:30 6:13

27.9m, for the week!!! lol!

Hi team, base camp in order post-hols..why do I pack so much stuff for a week.

TR41..your next event is soon isn't it? Great time there boyo!

JD-couldn't you have rounded it up to 28 miles?

Well, my marathon recovery week mileage has hit an all time madness..27.5 on Sunday (marathon), 12 on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday, 18 on Friday and 20 today. I feel fully recovered now

Welcome to newcomers..experience the madness of this forum
