Running a half marathon per month did me the world of good and I would recommend it to anyone. You would just need to build up to that distance first :). I have my first race (a half marathon in Sherwood forest) in March too. Its good to have goals. Good luck with yours

I’ve been following this thread. Im currently not running as of 6months ago i developed plantar fasciitis and its taking forever to heal.
I started back with a couch to 5km program but got impatient and reinjured myself.
Man Im so jealous hearing of all you guys running goals and accomplishments. Don’t take your running for granted
Keep it up and hopefully one day I’ll have something worth posting to here haha

Fantastic. Have you ran there before? Ive ran parkrun there and a Toughrunner 10K. It was a couple of days before they closed the country down for Covid.
I had the chance of the Monsal Trail one but my friends are doing it on a Saturday and i like to keep them free for parkrun. Tissington is another good one

I used to do a half marathon every week. It became a cashual run for me. But since my long term injury I didn’t half yet. It’s my goal for 2024 to build back up to it

No, never ran there, spent many a Sunday afternoon there on the bikes when the kids were younger.
The only races I’ve done in the past are the Crich Monument Race and the Bunny Run in Lea.
I’ve tied getting back into running with giving up the booze and I’m really enjoying it. Currently doing three 10k’s a week with a view to sticking in a 20k in a couple of weeks.
I’ll have a look at the Tissington run

Last run of the year! It was a good one too. Definitely hard effort but I got some nice negative spilts. This is the closest I’ve gotten to pre covid pace
(I figured I’d make us a 2024 running thread tomorrow)

After skipping a couple of runs because of it being the wrong time of the month, and being in the house all day with the kids off school and eating way too much, I finally got out for a run today. I felt SO heavy and slow, but did 5.6 km.

Not gonna lie, this is getting very hard. Two more days!

Injured foot been feeling good. Going to restart my couchto5k program. This time stay patient and forget about the distances i used to run and stick to the program. Stick to the program is kind of a general theme around here so going to use it for my running rehab too

Running is my no. 1 sober activity, and a huge motivator to stay sober.
