SFC - I'm entered for Aviemore too - and I'm also doing Loch Ness in between. Did you do Aviemore last year? It was fab - even though I had a cold and didn't have a great run, it was a cracking day out.
When is the Aviemore and Loch Ness races?
Did this race in 05 and 06, hopefully the conjection problems may be addressed, however I might jump pens.
Training is going well after the Loch Leven half and ahead of three races in two weeks with the Dundee Half, a local race and the Crieff 10k in the first two weeks of July.
The Aviemore race is on 14th October.
Just as well Aviemore has a lot of downhill.........
Nessie - What heppened to 'one day recovery for each mile of racing' LOL
I'm doing the Great North Run in between on the 30th Sept. But will be running Aviemore with my wife - her 1st half - so will be taking it easy and chumming her round.
Only forund out about Avie last year when it was full, but a pal who did it said it was great!
There was a 2 week gap between Loch Ness and Aviemore last year, and my legs were ok. I hadn't actually spotted that there was only 1 week this year until Captain Haddock asked the dates. Ooops.
Still, I managed 2 halfs, a marathon and a (very slow) 10k in 5 weeks last year, so I should be ok.
Aviemore was indeed fab last year - gorgeous course and perfect weather.
Ran 8 miles on Tuesday with my mates Jimmy Fish and Tom Salmond- that's their names, honest.
I hope all your training is going well.
Oh dear, can it get any worse.
Nessie, I'm also doing Loch Ness then Aviemore. PB'd at Aviemore last year after the marathon but the 2 weeks between was better recovery time!
Crieff 10k - need to remember to send off my entry form for that too. Doesn't fit in to the schedule but can always do the LSR a couple of days later instead - just swap my shorter midweek run with my LSR.
That's me entered now. Looking forward to it this year - had to run the 10k last year because of an injury.
I'm off on holiday on Thursday so training will start when I get back. Ran 10 miles with a friends who's doing EK half this weekend and managed it so hopefully that's a good sign!! I'm determined for a sub 2 time this year.
Hows everyone keeping??
Training going well and looking forward to this run now.
How are you doing & have you done much since Blaydon? I lurk on the GNR thread a bit but as it's such a busy thread I miss quite a lot and can't be bothered trawling through it all.
Got a new PB for 5k in Edinburgh on Tuesday - 23:41 which was 2:24 faster than last year. I'm intending doing the Black Rock 5 in Kinhghorn in Fife tomorrow night which is a bit like your Pier to Pier race with a part of the run on the beach and a paddle in the water all rolled into one!
How are you getting to Glasgow for this one? Hopefully there will be a meet up afterwards and we can have time for a longer chat than in the Bridge at Newcastle.
Take care
Colin
Aye well done on your 5k pb.Great running.Hope you have a good run at Kinghorn.
Im training for the mablethorpe marathon which is on the 16th September,so the GSR is a training run for me.
Im bringing the car up to Glasgow for the GSR.We'll have to arrange a meeting point before and after the run.
See you soon.
Cheers
Just have to train now.
Like you Speedy G it's just a case of the training now. I'm just back from a week's holiday and only (!) managed two runs whilst I was away. Sometimes I wonder if this running business is that compatible with family life...
Just back from 2 weeks sailing holiday, did a bit of walking but no runs. First run on Monday was great, last night was hard work - bit of catching up to do before the Helensburgh half on the 5th August. - anyone else doing this one??
great to see a few names i recognise from last year / other events.
This is our 2nd year of races so getting confidence from our experiences 1st time round and knowing that there is so much support out there
hope all your training is going well, we have been very lazy after lochaber marathon, with only gentle runs so now we've entered and monies paid we're focused on getting out there again....here goes
GSR last year was my first half and I have done one other big one since at Bath. The smaller ones I have done at Jedburgh, Monklands and Stranraer were so different. Not better or worse, just different. I expect Helensburgh will be like this for you. Also because of the lack of congestion and the higher percentage of club runners means that you tend to be pulled along faster. Good luck!
