I'm a runner, although an injured one at the moment. I'm hopeful of a rehab in time for the spring cycle of marathons...

There are quite a few runners knocking around, I know that Bike monkey has recently completed the Amsterdam marathon and suited and booted has a place for London next year...

After years of little exercise i got back into running in middle age. Never any great distances, but really enjoyed getting out and getting fit. Sadly let it all lapse several years ago when started feeling wear and tear on hips and knees. Hoping that sometime I'll find an alternative and get my energy levels back up, but first got to conquer depression that's been gripping me for a time (family and personal stuff, unrelated to stopping the running).

I usually do the Pier to Pier in May (7 miles along the coast from South Shields to Sunderland). Absolutely beautiful views of the coastline while you’re running along the cliffs. Only downside is it starts on and ends on beaches and I’m not a great fan of any off road running really. But I do love the views

St Illtyds must have been a tough one - I’ll look out for that as I didn’t know there was an organised event on it. I know bits and pieces of the path as it crosses many places I have run and walked over the years and it is most definitely not the best maintained (or signed) LDP around.

30 miles OTT in the Beacons on Sat

Chester half is my "must do" event each year. I always take part in the Sunday morning muster training runs with them too

Otherwise it's a couple of 10ks through the year.

But I'm mainly trail running now, rather than on road

Yeah most people respond with an Ouch or similar comment. Or laughter. Or a too the point 'what the fuck were you thinking'

I'm looking forward to it, being a set time rather than point to point and having a base camp were the thing's that appealed along with the utter ridiculousness of it! The aim is 6 summits which will be 50 miles or thereabouts.

Injury (it bands) then I just couldn’t get back into it. I’ve tried doing a few 5K loops but I need to find my mojo again. I might try and do a trail. For some reason I enjoy training and road running much more in cold conditions as opposed to the summer.

Chester

Recognised as one of the best and you don't get the numbers of the Cardiff or London or Great North (half)

Wonderfully organised and a superb start and finish in the historic town

Pretty much a flat course and well supported by the crowds and live music out and about

Managed a few of 10kms in the summer as part of my pre-season, now that the rugby season has started I'm finding it hard to get a day when the legs are feeling good enough to run again!!

Probably be next summer before I can run "properly" again...

"Who running today 3k or 5k....

Not in this shitty weather

Once you're out in the weather, you quickly forget about it....

It's just the actual getting out bit

Being a trail runner and living in Wales I'm used to a bit of rain

"I also run, prefer country roads and sometimes fell running - just got a place for a half marathon next year....

Not brave to go for an ultra - I think it would kill me!!!

I regularly run around Preston when staying there, could always do with a running buddy!

Going out for a run through the woods later.

Takes longer for the stiffness to go these days, as I get older, normally takes a couple of miles jogging to get loosened up.

Mostly aim to do half marathons now.

Have to say there are some very fast older runners out there, some great times for people over 60s and 70s.

Yeah I'm well happy especially having done very little on the 3 weeks since Amsterdam marathon I really wasnt sure what to expect!

I did Bournemouth marathon in 2016 against medical advice and this year has been the first time I've got close to the times I was running before then, it's taken a long time to get back!
