wannabe ultra runner?

So, what did you get SuperWiB?

I know it's Thursday, but what has everyone got planned this weekend?  Nice extended weekend in Inverness for me, Loch Ness marathon.  Yes, I know it's road, but frankly after BATB, that will be BLISS

Another marathon already Rosemary! well done I did a track session yesterday and a hilly tempo run tonight. My legs are a little tired on uphill stuff but otherwise ok. Couldnt run a strong marathon this weekend thats for sure! I have a 4km XC race

I got a big HH sports bag and £500 voucher for HH gear so have ordered loads of winter kit

Did you check out the photos?

Ask Lou

Might get to run my parkrun on Saturday. Sunday, considering Barns Green HM as part of my lead in to Beachy Head: undulating (good), road (bad).

Done some good faster running (for me) this week, which felt good. Now need to concentrate on more hill work! Also looking forward to practicing night running.

LOOOOUUUUUU! when do ndw entries open?

1st November sweetie pie
-are you going for it?

i want to do long run Sunday ..with my new kit

Wib.....your 'slow' is my fast !!! .....so yes, only time i will be your pace is when you have tired legs-or a broken one...but i suspect you would still be quicker

16miles would be perfect actually to test out my new backpack...you will be sorry you suggested it now! lol

or you can give your new kit a proper test and we can do an unsupported SDW end to end!?

WiB. According to the website you can still enter - £22 now, or £25 on the day if not full. I'll probably enter on the day if I go - decide what to do on Saturday based on how my legs feel (may get to run my parkrun), whether I can be bothered to get up early enough, and what some other club members are doing about extending the club run on Sunday morning.

I fancy a long ish run this weekend as well - the ankle feels a lot better this morning, so I think i'm going to chance it. Tomorrow looks the nicest weather, so I fancy a run along an old Roman road and the coast again

ultrarocker: sounds lovely!

Debra - only worked the route out a couple of weeks ago - it's 7m along the Peddars Way, a horrible 2m of ankle deep sand along the North Norfolk Coast Path, then through a seaside town (stop for a coffee and a doughnut for refuelling ) then along the modern sea defences for a couple of miles, along an old sea wall for a few miles, then back inland through a forest, and then a road section back to the car. It's exactly 20m and I can see me using it a lot, only takes half hour to drive to, there's some slopes (can't call them hills around here!!!), a real mix of terrain...
