Five finishers including the first ever women - Jasmin Paris - who finished the fifth loop with just one minute and 39 seconds to spare!

It's easily done. When I was told to stop running I was determined to not put any weight on. Being told to stop drinking too helped, I guess, but I was running to much that I could pretty much eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and my weight just stayed the same. I actually started losing...

As @Greg Bobkin says above, once you get into late Spring and Summer, when the trails are largely dried out, road shoes will do just fine. I use older road shoes on summer trails. Grass and dried mud is a lot more forgiving than concrete. Other than that, it depends on what your trails are like...

The thing about trail running, is that all time pressures disappear. People say stuff like "I ran without my watch" or "I ran to feel" but it's bizarrely difficult to do. When you're running up hills, slogging through mud, having to get through gates or over stiles and navigating around a...

I'm a bit younger than you (52 as I type) and this is my half-marathon PB history... 05/04/15 - 2:07:09 03/05/15 - 2:06:08 07/06/15 - 1:55:33 07/07/15 - 1:53:51 08/12/19 - 1:46:31 12/04/20 - 1:41:37 31/10/20 - 1:40:01 16/11/20 - 1:34:48 20/06/21 - 1:30:30 Some notes: 1. I'd suffered with a...

Four. months since my last run - still waiting for the results of my echocardiogram and finding out what happens next. Meanwhile, I can see my estimated VO2 max plummeting whilst my resting heart rate is going up and up! In other news - this should be a thing...

Thanks. It's very obvious something is wrong - I can feel it for a start - my heart is all over the place most of the time. The warnings from my Apple Watch were so frequent, that I've turned them off now. And, looking at the various things in Apple Health for heart readings illustrate that...

My run streak is over after 1314 days and 10,384 miles. Went out for an 11-12 miler yesterday evening at moderate pace as it was still quite warm. For the first time ever, I felt so tired I had to stop, sir down and rest. And again. And again. And again. My pace was getting slower and slower...

Big reduction on the Inov-8 X-TALON 212 V2, down from £115 to £45 and all sizes are available. "Now boasting STICKYGRIP™ rubber, this classic lightweight running shoe delivers outstanding grip over soft, wet terrain and flies with confidence over hard, dry trails too. An evolution of the...

Anyone else follow the Suffolk Back Yard Ultra over the last few days? c4.1 miles on the hour every hour. Keep going until one person is left. The last two standing reached 81 "yards" - something like 337 miles, even though each fell asleep in the middle of a lap and was woken up by the other...

I held off buying them when they launched as some of the reviews weren't favourable, but I took the plunge at some point and I've always loved mine. I'd not run in them for quite a while, but put them on for yesterday's run and I was immediately reminded of how much fun they are. I was only...

Yep - the website stopped functioning a week or so back, and then I heard they'd gone under. I often wondered how they managed to sell stuff at the prices they did. I guess they actually couldn't!

Looks about right https://footpathapp.com/routes/7546EA5C-1A84-48EA-9631-3354C0C07D78

Still plodding along here, day after day. The Run Streak now stands at 1125 days. Slightly annoyed because I covered 187 miles in February - lower than usual because we went away at half-term, booked at the last minute. What I didn't know, until I checked last night, was that I'd run 200 miles...

Yesterday was day 1096 of my run streak which, with 2020 being a leap year, marks three years of running every day. Onto year four!

It was grim. Left myself a half-marathon to cover today to beat last year’s mileage total. Drowned rat within about 30 seconds of leaving home and a couple of minutes later a motorist ploughed through a large puddle, sending a tidal wave all over me. It didn’t get any better and it was a...

Not much going on here either - bit of a grind to the end of the year to try and beat last year's 3,117 miles. I need to average a little over 9 miles a day to do that, which is no real bother, although today could be a struggle. I had to retrieve the car from where it was abandoned last night...

Just dug out this thread to say the same. Standouts for me... Vaporfly 2s in some colours for £101 Alphaflys in some colours for £121 Invincible 2s for £87 Pegasus 39 for £49 The Invincible is my fantastic shoe. It's designed for easy days and with a big stack of ZoomX it is great for...
