Madness Frank, but good luck.Just signed up for a 70 mile ultra run. No idea of the mileage, length of runs or how I should train but strength work seems to be a key component.
Lots of research to undertake along with the training.
Fair play to still be playing football. I’m 58 and I don’t think I could do it.I played 7 a side outdoor footy this Thursday,..without doing any running in the days leading up to it,was hoping I could 'blag' my way through the hour long match without any training/ preparation.
Bad move.
I was completely off the pace,couldn't really get into the game,lost my balance and fell challenging for a bouncing ball.... Ii pride myself in having good balance, never going to ground,it shook me up a bit...
Memo to me. Always prepare for footy with Running. You can't blag' match in your late 50s
Unless of course you are a gifted player.im just a runner basically.so it's back to the drawing board and my boring circuit runs which I used to do every week....these short dark days are challenging...
I’m 72 and 20 minute walking footy games are enough for meFair play to still be playing football. I’m 58 and I don’t think I could do it.

Indeed!Probably missing something but wouldn't it be 70 miles?
Thought I might as well post a link to the Cancellations list here. Some local ones already off, but I’d expect this list to grow up to 7/8am tomorrow:Any cancellations will probably be down to fallen branches blocking paths rather than flooding.
As you say, Fletcher Moss sometimes gets cancelled when the Mersey gets a bit high, as does Sale Water Park.

Alex park is on
I’ve gotta get myself back there pronto. Such a quick course!Isabel Trail Parkrun completed in 28:56 this morning.
Only 225 participants this morning as I guess the tourists were scared off by yesterday's drizzle and slight breeze.
I’ll let you know next time I’m down there pal - it’s your regular isn’t it?Loads of space this morning. A few puddles and a bit of mud to contend with, but mainly having to dodge girls running gingerly around it.
Yeah, managed to cover all the Greater Manchester ones (eventually) by tying them into home games :-)It is. I do it when at home & do a Manchester one when I'm up for a home game or a gig.
