MA- hi! General rule of thumb is to allow an extra 10-20 mins
Do you not mean 100-200 mins Jason...?!
Lemmy - thanks for the heads up for Travelodge. Booked it up for me and my running buddy.
Got back to training this week after a lazy xmas (and very lazy lead up to xmas!). Might be pushing a bit too hard in my new found enthusiasm so better back it off a little tomorrow. Local off-road 5k on Saturday morning to look forward to.
12.01m for me today, followed by a warm down of just over a mile. Ran the 12 just a little faster than normal, but it all felt comfortable- must be progress! 12.01m in 1.22.51 Splits: 7:13 7:18 7:14 7:10 7:03 7:04 6:42 6:41 6:39 6:38 6:34 6:30. Happy days..... AGTFSNOD2013
Camlo - Rhayader is a cracking race - great training for Snowdonia. I hope to do it again one day. If you want a cracking Welsh event, there is the Trail Marathon (& half) Wales in Coed-y-Brenin - the full is full now - a few places for the half left
Nice one brer! It will be the 2nd year of the (new course) Anglesey 1/2m at the beginning of March. It is very well organised (by runners!) - quite scenic & undulating - feedback re last years race was very good. I'd like to support it and use it as a test for my next marathon 5 weeks later, but I've probably entered my quota of races already so I'll probably give it a miss again
Thanks for the tips - will look at the trail half and San Dom. Rhayader is my club hence my affection for it! Doing the reservoir roundabout in the morning so will surely see parts of the dams I've never seen before!
Have been out in shorts here too but doubt it will last as we are due to change some windows.
Stilldreaming - i havent run either race yet so bit early for the congrats! But very kind. Week 1 training almost complete. Did 45 mins on the treadmill at 12% incline today with the heating on full blast to recreate the conditions in the cannons! Got a good sweat on an good fun too long run tomorrow. Must find more hills...
Beautiful day here just in from 11 miler shorts and T-shirt, getting a bit of speed back in legs now, splits were 8:20, 8:24, 8:35, 8:19, 8:21, 7:15, 7:13, 7:48, 7:11, 7:18, 7:20. a few little hills in there as well.
Nice little 6 miler , one mile warm up ,4 mile tempo, then 1 mile warm down, splits; 7.33, 5.57, 6.03, 6.06 6.07, 8.04. Couple of hours off road planned for tomorrow
Thanks Jason. I'm beginning to get some form back. The last two years I've been plagued with one injury after another. Hence why I've missed the last two Snods.
evening al! No shorts for me , but I did a nice little 8 miler this morning with some friends, so just an easy 'chatty' run. Planning an off road 12 miles tomorrow.
Won't be on swiss valley track morrow Jason... I'm heading into Pembrey forestry!!
Just got back from a 14 mile trail run with over 2100 feet of ascent. An afternoon on the sofa awaits me I think. Great run with some great company too. What's everyone else been up to today?
Comments
I turn 40 in November so cramming a few events in inc Rhayader 20, VLM and across Wales ultra in Sep.
Having read back I guess the most important things to do are
- stay injury free
- train on hills
- note where the coffee and flapjacks are
- train on more hills
Anything I've missed??

Welcome to the mad house new people!!
Right off out for a run now
dying to enter this again. just hope it doesn't sell out before pay-day. skint with Christmas!
First Snod last year and what an amazing day
Cheers for the Travelodge info, was going to drive there in the morning, but for 25 notes it makes things a little easier.
Looking forward to a run tonight, work very slow today.

Not shorts weather yet in far north although did have my jacket tied around my waist last night
Have been out in shorts here too but doubt it will last as we are due to change some windows.
Hope your collar bone is knitting nicely T Rex
Morning all!!
Beautiful day here just in from 11 miler shorts and T-shirt, getting a bit of speed back in legs now, splits were 8:20, 8:24, 8:35, 8:19, 8:21, 7:15, 7:13, 7:48, 7:11, 7:18, 7:20. a few little hills in there as well.
Have a great day gang.
Pre- breakfast easy paced 9 miler here. Not a beautiful day here, but not raining, so I'll settle for that
1st longish run of the year 15.5 miles mixed terrain but mostly road
Lovely morning - Down to Tshirt and could have used shorts
evening al! No shorts for me , but I did a nice little 8 miler this morning with some friends, so just an easy 'chatty' run. Planning an off road 12 miles tomorrow.
Won't be on swiss valley track morrow Jason... I'm heading into Pembrey forestry!!
OH and jenf- you could get into trouble with all this running without shorts!
6.5m recovery run for me this evening. Dark, but clear and surprisingly calm and warm
Jason - LOL - That's pretty much what Elspeth said reading same comment!
Wayne- well done
Great confidence boosting run for me today 18m with 1095m ascent (first half all uphill, second half downhill) in 2.04.45 (6.56 av) splits: 7:23 7:26 7:19 7:26 7:24 7:21 7:15 7:07 7:05 6:41 6:41 6:44 6:38 6:34 6:36 6:26 6:25 6:12
Other good news= 2.2 lbs weight loss this week and 100.74m run for the week. My first 3 figure week for a few months
Well done on breaking 100 miles. IMPRESSIVE.
