This looks interesting - people have done their weekends before and enjoyed them, right?

I did one in Brecon last Feb and thought it was great. It set me up for the road race season - 4 PBs (5 miles, 10k, 15 miles and marathon - took 44mins off my marathon PB), and the cup in my club's road race champs (vets category).

I was seriously thinking about this, but managed to get into the Northumberland Coastal run this year, so I have booked myself into a b&b for the weekend as it's a looooooong way from home for me. Can't really afford to do both - either financially or time-wise, so I will have to give this a miss for the time being.

Would thoroughly recommend one of these weekends if anyone is thinking about it :-)

Tec - no idea about if anyone is doing the June weekend, but they are a good weekend of running. :) That's from my own personal opinion as a beginner/intermediate runner.
