Probably but I'm an absolute tart when it comes to kit. Getting the 12 as it gives a bit more versatility (and future proofness when I do that Hardmoors 110 next year).

Maybe want to get a 15 for the 110, don't know what the kit list is like

Endure 24 Leeds this weekend with no training. Only thing I've done all year was the Lakesman half a week ago with a very warm 2:12 half marathon. I was ready last year but lost motivation and piled on 2 clem. What doesn't kill me..... etc. Aiming for 100km

I'm doing it too. I think I'll suffer after lakesman, 100 miles is my aim.

Give me a shout when you run past me. Might have a Durham tri vest on 
Good luck mate.

Chevy Chase Saturday, this will be the 4th time I have done it...... bit of a plod/walk round for me watching in awe of the proper fell runners bombing down the cheviot whilst I saunter down like bambi on ice.

Insane race, red hot the two times I've done it. Good luck.

That's what finished my short running career and then even Tri's and Duathlon's and saw me turn full time to cycling.
Tried various Podiatrists and shoe inserts etc none of which helped ( got a short first metatarsal apparently)
Miss running for convenience but not for hammer on body.

maybe just me....know loads of runners who cope and recover from this as well as others who luckily remain injury free running for decades.
just not me

Currently in isolation, I've done a 5k round the garden and a 10k on the tiny 'field' at the front of the house.
It's absolutely and utterly awful
Think I'm going to do the Saturn 'Chamber of Runs' at Druridge Bay on July 31st. 7 Hours to do as many 6.6m loops as you want/can. Then Round Ripon in the Autumn.
Did the Pennine Barrier 50 a few weeks ago and although pleased I finished after the injuries of the last couple of years it certainly could've gone better. Thinking of doing it next year and would like to shave around 90 mins off. Need to learn how to run downhills on that rocky terrain better.

Anyone doing the Durham 5 or 10k?

The 10ks never managed the same route because of various road issues, I think work plus my general fatness will stop me this year but I’ll try and get down and support my club mates.
Signed up for the 5k.
Not sure my legs have recovered from penshaw half marathon yet!

Its got to be more or less the hardest local route you could use for a half that, and it’s always warm, brutal test.
I knar! My first half marathon distance since I plodded around the gnr about 15 yrs ago.
Only started running regularly about 18 month or so ago, so I was pleased I got around Penshaw in under 3hrs. Lovely route though, apart from the hills

its beautiful yeah, I walk round there quite a lot, feels like the middle of nowhere.

Would agree, that and the Durham Coast Half from Seaham to Crimdon. Stunning but very challenging route.
Aye its on my doorstep more or less. Really nice along the river from coxgreen to Satan's steps near the shipwreck
