Rosehip Feb 2020 1:13pm, 15 Feb 2020 15,082 posts	0 Rosehip How's it going folks? The weather isn't being particularly helpful right now, is it?! HB, you chose the right time to go away I'm getting cross with myself for not getting the long run miles up properly yet and have decided that Windermere will not be a sub-5 attempt, I shall be more than content with sub 5.30.

jennywren Feb 2020 5:03pm, 15 Feb 2020 15,533 posts	0 jennywren My training is getting scuppered by the weather. I’m no longer targeting a sub 5 for Manchester. Just getting round is going to have to be enough but that’s ok.

jennywren Feb 2020 7:55am, 18 Feb 2020 15,536 posts	0 jennywren I’ve got the Trimpell 20 in March so that will be my test. Getting sore feet on long runs so I’m looking for solutions to that too. I think my feet must have grown! All my shoes feel too tight after about 8 miles.
