"My boyfriend competed in the snowdon marathon yesterday, he did really well and beat last year's time but wasn't as quick as he wanted due to cramp kicking in from mile 18 onwards. I haven't run for 2 weeks due to a cold and chesty cough but went out this morning and although my legs and lungs were in shock I did manage it and am glad to get back to it. I have a 10 mile event in 3 weeks, my first competitive run and I feel nervous but glad to have my boyfriend running it with me for support. Enjoy your running everyone x" Well done both of you! 10 miles is a nice distance; it's enough to push you, but not too far that you have to train really seriously for. Good luck! Remember to let us know how you get on! | |||

"Hello, my name is Adam and I’m a lapsed Crap Runner. I did no runs last week, a couple the week before and a couple the week before that, otherwise nothing really since June. Tonight I did a 5k run again, 36:30 is a minute slower but it didn’t feel difficult even though I finished on an uphill bit." Welcome back Adam ![]() | |||

"Planning for my gym run tonight - maybe a 4 or 5km at about 6.30 a km would be a decent run " Well due to a change of work plans (bastards), got told at 4pm I had to stay late to review off shore teams work!!!

"I've had another strong couple of weeks. Fast parkrun for 2 1/2 years on Saturday beat a few people who I normally don't and closed the gap to a few others. Loving that after a couple of shit years I;m finally getting back to where I was. I know I'm going well and enjoying it as I enjoying my intervals and hill repeats! Got a half on Sunday, if I can get back under 2 hours I;ll be more than happy" I did a parkrun in London on Saturday. It was really nice! Good to hear that you are getting back to your best ![]() | |||

The atmosphere was awesome, as a spectator and supporter I felt so proud of everyone, my hands were sore from clapping lol. Apparently I even said I wanted to aim for it before I am 50....I hope bf forgets that idea hehe. He has an ultra in less than 2 weeks time, and another marathon in December. You should book your place for snowdon next year. Bookings open from 1st December. ..... X | |||

Enjoy your running everyone x I;d love to do Snowdonia, heard so many good things about it, hope he enjoyed it ![]() The thing that puts me off is how far out entries open as it sells out so quick. I'm already booking races 6 or more months in advance, 11 months is a bit extreme though! One of my friends runs it every year and has done around 40 marathons and ultras and rates it as his favourite so I am tempted. I signed up to the trail one last year that actually goes over Snowdon but had too many injuries in the run up to do it. Which marathon, I;m doing Portsmouth in Decemnber to round off my year | |||

Pete (my bf) has also run the snowdon trail marathon. I need to give him a nudge and remind him to check this thread and chip in. He gets pre occupied with perving profiles lol Good luck for Portsmouth | |||

"They're are two "big" brands out there - Salomon & Inov8 People will be divided into one camp or the other ![]() ![]() I overpronate, but I notice that trail shoes don't seem to be split the same way as road running shoes are. Any ideas why? | |||

"They're are two "big" brands out there - Salomon & Inov8 People will be divided into one camp or the other ![]() ![]() There are very few shoes that aren't "neutral" this is cause of the varied terrain that you usually encounter, the footbed isn't flat very often, so building up the instep isn't much assistance to you, it's more important to have a good fitting heel cup to stop any slipping and be supportive for your ankle ![]() ![]() | |||

"They're are two "big" brands out there - Salomon & Inov8 People will be divided into one camp or the other ![]() ![]() I overpronate too, so use Brooks Adrenaline Gts for the road, but use their mild trail version of the same shoe called the ASR for our off-road parkrun & canal running. Might be worth a look. | |||
