Sitting on my bed in the warm after a day walking (with friends) in the snowy hills of Shropshire I've finally found the time to sit down & start my blog. I've been intending to do this for some time now having read the blogs of many other fell runners & enjoyed reading about their adventures. I'm keeping this blog for me but felt that there may be a few other people who may have a slight interest in my running adventures in 2011.
2011 Targets:
1. Invest in a replacement pair of Inov8 Roclite 315 fell/trail shoes & also a new pair of 'boring' road shoes (an easy 1st target to achieve I hope!)
2. Complete a Short, Medium, Long & 1 other race (minimum) from the
2011 RunFurther Series (& therefore getting an overall placing in the RunFurther series) - further details to follow when I've confirmed which races I'll be doing
3. Complete the
Lakeland 50 under 12 hours - undertook this challenge in 2009 & finished in 14hrs22mins so I think sub 12hrs is a tall order but it's not supposed to be easy!
4. Run a sub 3hrs15mins 'road' marathon - not achieved this since 2008 & guess I'd like to prove to myself that I can still run at pace for a length of time
5. Run at least 1500 miles in 2011 - I've achieved this milestone before in 2009 & would expect to easily cover this many miles in training for the Ultra races in the RunFurther series,
I'll post more details about each of these targets as the year progresses.
