22 miles done today putting me on 67 for the last 8 days which I'm pretty pleased with. Try and get a big week in this week then top my mileage next week before taper kicks in.
 
Did 4 mile recovery run yesterday, 6 mile with 4 at sublt planned today repeat the same next two days and that will likely be it till Sunday, although might be tempted to do a couple recovery paced miles Saturday just to keep the legs going.

Their definition of northeast include yorks and South Scotland but you can weed out local ones . . .Coxhoe trail on 14th sept is prob my next one. Best of luck

Don't think there's too much locally coming up soon. Town moor 10k in November is a good one, bit way off yet. Half marathons in Redcar and haltwhistle at end of September are decent. . and both doable by train
 
I better be fast then haha tbh I need to get to my gym at least once a week get into some sort of routine then take things from there
 
10k on Sunday, 6k last night, 5k tonight. Will do some hill work running up and down the steep grass cliffs at Roker beach tomorrow night then two days off before Keswick on Saturday. Safe to say I'm fairly excited for that!

20mins last night on grass, nowt I know, but its a gradual start... do same again in a few days time.

wanted to ask - many runners on here do much work on there core and abs ? just started to do the plank every day and trying to remember to do some sit ups, always neglected stuff like this in past

I need to do core week as apparently I have a weak core and it will help prevent injury (I get groin and lower ab injuries quite often) and allow me to imptove my times. Poor excuse but I just do not get the time to fit it in!

Whats the benefits of joining a club? Know there's generally £2 saving booking a race, I dont really have any interest in joining any weekly training runs as want to stick to heart rate and a miserable loner anyway.

I was never in a club mate , but would have been a better runner if was, two family members are and have watched them, it opens your mind to different types of training - forget about heart rate monitors.... , you will def become a better runner if train with others and have a good coach, especially if they are better runners than you
 
you mentioned core work and stretching, both of which i have to do plenty of to ward off tight hamstrings.
what's your PB doing the plank then?
