an off-road race before, though I do a lot of my training off road? I'm over in Devon on holiday from Ireland that week, and this sounds like it should be good fun. Terrain is varied, road, narrow single track tarmac path, wide gravel tracks, narrow
;t seem to have updated very recently, I was hoping to find a course map. Got a nice e-mail from the organisers, with map. They say details going out to entrants today, so you should hear about camping.Their description:The race will start on the tarmac
'm guessing to ease the pain! BB - My feet sometimes get pretty warm on tarmac, especially on a hot day. Maybe that was it. I'm running up to half marathon distance in them on roads and trails now - no problem apart from the stoney ridges I sometimes run on
? Of the Manchester ones, Sth Manchester is fastest - its flat and pretty much all on tarmac. I'll give it a google! Edinburgh will be officially recognised for the Power of 10 from 1st Jan (see here for details). Black Park has been listed for some time as we got
challenging hills, so not a race for a 10k PB, (did 46mins) but a good race for those who want to get off the old tarmac.Definitely will do this a late season race again next year. First race goody bag with a can of hair gelee thrown in!

short while on tarmac to get used to the hard surface .I have always had this pain when jogging - but it never bothered me as I just jogged for fun - but now I need to get it sorted if I want to continue training.Any suggestionsThanksLorraine
Anyone that has previously done the A20 Paths and Downs event. What is the going like underfoot? Should I use road shoes or trail shoes? well, if you read the website info it does say "The course is ..... all on tarmac....."that would help decide
heaviler, but being a bit of a tightass, Im thinking that the 333s will last a bit longer. The 272's dont look as if theyd stand up to much punishment ?Has anyone had both ? Any preference ?Theyre for 5-15 milers. No tarmac involved, obviously !Best wishes
