Nice one James. I'm just hoping that you're going to be able to live stream Jock's last couple of laps ...

No running for me for the last week. Ankle swollen and sore. And strangely fingers too. GP thinks that I have gout! WTF.

Assuming that I recover I'm down to run an off road 55km in July and hopefully a few HMs just for fun.

Just entered Peterborough Marathon on Sun 23 May

Boston (Lincs) also expect to be going ahead on 31 May (BH Monday) with waves of 250 (race limit 1000) - they moved the date this week to allow for reopening of hotel/B&B accommodation.

MK marathon also think they can proceed with rule of six on May 1-3 with all distances 5k/10k/HM/marathon but there's an issue if people can't stay anywhere as hotels/B&Bs not yet open.

Hope you get over the injury Bobby. Gout seems a wierd one unless you like the old alcohol.

Taking of the covidiots, one of my friends was doing a Notparkrun with a mate last Saturday and got clipped in the stomach by a lady in her 50’s carrying a 2 metre Covid stick (apparently available on Amazon), he didn’t stop as was sort of racing a mate. If it had been me either the stick, or the lady would’ve ended up in the duckpond.

COVID stick ha. Yes, I too would hope the stick was water-proof and buoyant..for when that lady was rightly dispatched into her rightful place in the pond...

Glad everyone's got a few races upcoming. I'm doing a full mara in about 16 weeks (July 4) so gonna give it a right proper bash. Any thoughts on good timing for "warm up races" during a 16 week block. How about a half marathon 6 to 8 weeks out or 10km 4 weeks out?
