I`m gonna do it too, did my first half at Stafford last month but my hardcore runner friends have said this is a must! Can someone put me on the list please? `Helz` will do dont worry about full name.
Who do we make cheques payable to?
;-)
On-line payment costs the same as filling-in and posting forms....!

I didn`t think you could do it online, cheers for that. I hate filling in forms.

Yeah I noticed that there wasn`t an online option, bizarre as it`s so much easier!

This means that Lady Slugge will also be able to do it - her first ever Half Mara!
Just need to print off an extra entry form and get them in the post...

Are any of you doing weight training too? I`ve started doing weights but find after squats etc legs feel v heavy for run next day - some people say dont do legs just upper body, not sure? Helz
Now just need to book a cottage for the weekend...
The best place to stay,if you don't mind spending a bit, is the Lake Vyrnwy Hotel. Lovely view of the lake and easy to walk to the start. Very posh - my sister had her wedding reception there! Somewhere to take the non-running partner as a treat!
I've got my number and for me this is my last big race of the year. If I do well in this, all the battles with injury, and endless cross-training will be worth it!
Another fellow mollusc - this is getting ridiculous!
I've taken the liberty of sticking you on the list.
As regards tips for first Half, I'd say just to work on cranking up one run a week to about 10 miles, and maybe get one 12-miler in 2-3 weeks before Vyrnwy...

I've walked round Lake Vyrnwy and I think its the rise from the village to the lake side that'd be the problem rather than round the lake itself. That much is pretty flat (with the odd gentle undulation). Wouldn't say the whole thing is a steady incline.
Then again, I haven't actually run it before so maybe that makes it feel more like an incline?
Sorry, I'm not being much help really am I?!!! :op
