"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)." Sorry to hear about the depression, hopefully you’re seeking some help x | |||

Amazing experience though, the atmosphere was awesome I bet it was, got any other races planned or in mind? " 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 | |||

"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... " Yes Amsterdam was 2 weeks ago and I loved it. Also done Manchester this year and possibly doing Portsmouth again at Christmas. I run everything from 5km to marathon and doing my first ultra next summer. My girlfriend's also a runner and I also help at a lot of local events, it's a big part of my life | |||

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 | |||

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. | |||

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. | |||

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! | |||
