A bit of honesty. Not written anything for ages, I am still struggling from the 200 mile race a bit, my ankles are the main issue, they feel quite stiff.
I have done lots of races including a fairly disastrous Snowdonia Marathon. It is important to respect the distance, which I did not. It was never going to be a PB but with some proper training I could have broke 3 hours. I went through half way in 1:27 so a descent start but the reality was that I was struggling from 8 miles. I dropped 40 minutes on the second half which is shocking.
The cross country season is now in full flow and I am not quite where I was last year, but still a counter for the club so its important to give them my best shot. With one more fixture to go hopefully Doncaster AC will be promoted.
One of the race highlights of the year, the Barnsley 10k went ok, I finished in 11th place about 10 seconds a mile down on last years time. 36:37 this year.
Parkruns are going well, I could go sub 18 most days at Doncaster but not doing it that hard at the moment as got Sunday races on. Scunthorpe is probably the fastest parkrun I have tried, will be back in a few weeks to try to run a parkrun PB.
