I'm in!

My first ultra -doing the 50k - The Vicar - think I have the same plan as you, I'm doing the Giantshead Trail Marathon at the end of June, then keep on running! Sounds like a really friendly, well organised run, so I won't have to worry about too much about any aspect except actually finishing

There doesn't seem to be any real info about it online anywhere tho - my folks live near Yeovil and I would like to check out some of the route beforehand if possible.

I can only do the class on a Sunday cos they run a bouncy castle session for the kids at the same time!! but the class is mainly intervals based- shuttle runs, lunges, core fitness and upper body too.

Long runs are quite long already as I was training for a marathon next weekend, which just isn't going to happen logistically.

Just with the cycling I'm cramming all my running in to 4 days, but I don't want to give it up as it's the only other adult company I have really!

I am effectively a single mum,(hubby works away), and I'm running a trail marathon at the end of June. I can only train during the school day,(which i appreciate is way more than some people), but I can't seem to work out a plan.

Mon - usually do a long cycle ride with friends (40-50 miles)

Tue - tempo or efforts(hill or speed) hard work after cycling?

Wed - mid length off road run

Thu - ?

Fri - Long run inc. on and off road,(so as to rest over weekend)

I do sometimes get a jog in over the weekend running after the kids with their bikes etc. or I can do a Bootcamp style class on a Sunday morning.

Anyone comments,suggestions, any plans available anywhere online, thanks,I need some motivation!

I'm having lessons at the National Pool - they have a slot on a Fridy lunchtime which suited me, as well as at other times  - £60 for 5 x half hour, I think - give them a call on 01792 513513- I just had to wait until they had a free slot. Otherwise the other local pool council pools all do adult lessons too, just that i was particularly restricted with when I could go, Good luck!

Sorry to crash your thread, but do you know if the results form the race at Kenfig yesterday will be published on line anywhere?

Thanks.
