I use mine as training, but I agree, I think this Saturdays first one will be a shock to the system

Has the venue for the English Nationals been chosen? I couldn't find anything about it. I was hoping to do the West Yorkshires but am not around for most of them.

Hello! Haven't done cross country since school, and that was only a once a year event that the whole school got roped into doing. Not particularly fond memories of it, but then I wasn't into running then - hoping to give some of the Sunday League races a go this year; the club is keen for everyone to do the Met League races that always seem to happen the day before, but I'm not sure I feel ready for that yet or could do the two back-to-back. Not unless I take the Met League ones pretty gently as a warm-up for the next day's race...

Just down the road from me which is handy!! We had the Northern xc champs there a couple of years ago. It's a great course. Undulating & reet muddy when I ran it! :-)
