Training’s going pretty well thanks Sharkie, I don’t know how to train for it so I’m just training for a half marathon distance and hoping for the best. I’m running 3 times a week and doing 2 strength sessions. It’s about 9 weeks away so I’ve got some time. I’m really enjoying the training

Despite some recent health concerns I am still getting out for a run or a walk on the fells every day: typically I do about 5-6 runs per week and 2-3 walks, all slow.
