Sorry M_N we had a change of plan (running parkrun in the morning and an ultra in the afternoon probably wasn't the best idea I'd ever had  )

How was Plean Ally? Quite close for me too. Is it a muddy, hilly one or a fast and flat? Ian, good to see you yesterday. Thanks for all your hard work on the Pentlands 7R race. What a fab day it was! G

Ally-C
Plean is up and down, very little flat, more like a cross country, it's a figure of eight I think, with a big lap and a small lap, a few short sections you do twice, it's one of rather best I've done, done about twenty in Scotland.

Ally-C
Rather best? What happened there? š© Plean is harder than Falkirk, up there with Ganavan Sands and Stonehaven as the hardest imho. |

Have you done Drumchapel Ally-C? It has a reputation for hills too I hear. So far I am a bit of a wimp, have missed most of the tough ones, only managing Falkirk of your list while Drum is the only Glasgow one I've yet to run. Not done Camperdown either.

Camperdown was one I did a couple of years ago when I first started running and felt the hill at the end was a bugger....maybe I wouldn't feel quite like that now.....eh maybe I would

I believe he hasn't (ok I looked it up ;-)). Until you have tackled the absolute beast that is Drumchapel, opinion on the hardest must be reserved, I think. Although ... I haven't run Plean in an event, or at anything more than a recreational pace. I might find it as tough as Drumchapel, but that would be due to its x-c type nature vs firm paths. |

Has anyone signed up for the āwomenās winter run 10kā in Edinburgh this weekend? I signed up in June and canāt find any details on it now and for some reason I get the feeling itās a scam.

Thereās a Facebook page with 115 āgoingā on Sunday - looks authentic enough (even if they canāt spell āprizesā).
