Anyone done the Loch Ness one? Had a look online and it looks class.

Not me but its on my to do list, have read quite a few reviews of it and its highly recommended, a fair few say they preferred it to london

Might give it a bash if Manchester Marathon don't happen because it looks like only 3k people done it in 2019. The views look amazing.

There was a dusting of snow last night near me, pavements are lightly covered. Has anybody been out yet and is it slippy? Think I might have a rest day if it doesn't thaw out by noon.

I went yesterday and it was slippery in patches.... going out today around lunch, hopefully it’ll have warmed up a touch

I went out at 6am and it wasnt slippy at all, pavements covered in dusty snow but no slippy ice anywhere, no wind either. Perfect weather for it

I set out just after 6 am this morning and did just over 3 miles. The roads and pavements were completely dry and hardly any wind so it was ok, just a bit cool.

I also did 3 miles on Monday at 6 am when there was a dusting of snow so I wore the trail shoes as precaution. No problems slipping though, it was fresh dry snow.

Just found this guy on youtube, seems to have some good advice for those of you like me that are always looking for new trainers

I ran a lot a few summers ago - had to stop due to an ongoing foot injury which was annoying! I enjoyed using the free running apps that would guide you between speeds - helped the time pass quicker and clear my mind!

Just done 4 miles in and around Boggart Hole Clough... slippy as fuck inside.... (sure I saw Stevie G at one point) ....so had to take it easy... 9 minute miles and 118 Bpm.

A great shame no half or marathons will be allowed this year again.
Another thing they have banned us from.

Take it to the COVID thread, this is a positive place for running chat. Don't the need negativitiy in here.

Stop fucking watching it then... keep yourself safe... keep active and just take it one day at a time.
And stop being your miserable bollocks in here.. seeing my times getting slower is making me miserable enough as it is!!

Maybe dont watch the news for a while, some of your posts are hardly realistic, where for instance has anyone said 100% that there will be no marathons this year?
Your just spreading doom and gloom trying to make others as miserable as you feel, poor inchy14 only comes on as he cant stop getting overtaken by pensioners in the clough and your making him feel even worse.
Maybe start your own "everyone look at me Im a misery thread" perhaps?

I wouldn't have been doing any running if not for covid. It's given me the time and drive to go and get back out there after becoming a fat slob with two young kids and finding any excuse not to exercise. Now I can go running almost everyday and I feel great for it. And I have signed up for a half marathon in October and hope it goes ahead. If it doesn't I'll do one on my own and wait for the revised date. Keep your chin up! Got to find some positives.

Just been talking to my pal who I used to train with for a few years. He reckoned Loch Ness is the best marathon because of scenery and high start and low finish. He did one of his better times there, 2 hours 50 minutes.

Ive heard a few saying the same mate, 2hrs 50 is super quick,might be a good one to get a boston qualifier at
