Any runners out there?

Just wondered whether there are any other runners out there?

Having not done any sport for 7.5 years when a broken leg put an end to playing rugby I started running again in May to try and get fit enough to keep up with my daughters. Having enjoyed this I am now entered for the Beachy Head marathon at the end of October.

Has anyone else done any marathons and if so which ones?

 

Hello! Although at the moment I'm only doing two runs a week, mostly a case of not prioritising it.

I'm impressed, I hear beachy head is good but HILLY. The furthest distance I've done is a half marathon, and have no desire to run a full one at the moment.

One of the things I like about running is how it gives me an overview of the seasons - there are some routes I run over the year I see change. Plus I know where all the good foraging areas are now

 

I had always intended to run do a marathon at some point but recent circumstances gave me the extra motivation I needed to get out there and train regularly.
I started just running three days a week with shorter runs Tuesday & Thursday before work and a longer run on Saturdays.
For the build up now I am running 5 days a week untill two weeks before and then will ease off.
Plan to be up and out at 7am tomorrow for a 13 mile run and then of to the swimming pool with my daughters.
