Nope. No races planned this year HH. Bonita and I have both packed in our jobs and are going travelling / camping for a year or so in our old Landrover - leaving May 15th. Plan is to head across Europe, middle east and then down through Africa. James will miss his first year at school but I don't think that matters too much. We might enter the Addis Ababa 10K if we're passing through at the right time.
Hello. Just popping in to say good luck to all runners and & crew. I hope the training's going well or at least started. 2 years on from doing this I still have no urge to do it again at all !
Stick to the (relatively) short distances while you've got speed in your legs. Enjoy the feeling of gliding along fast in a 10K. Training for an ultra (or even a marathon) drains you and in my personal experience, you never really get the speed back. Plenty of time for the special mental challenges of an Ultra later on.
