Ah there is an option to defer it. I use the Garmin Fenix 6. Although only time its deferred an upload is due to not being connected to my wifi.

Could be a good idea that, age related times

I asked Mark about this yesterday, should see who’s the youngest then give the rest of us 30 seconds per year handicap....

I get a little buzz out of other runners waving too you, or saying good luck as you pass them.

Two very good looking women did this to me when running through Bramhall sunday, suddenly had a spring in my step :)

I think that was meant for Gaz whizzing up behind you

Sunday April 11th for Bluemoom Virtual Half Marathon.

Is this for real? It's a bit soon for me, ideally I need a couple of months to build up the miles. I was planning on longer trails into the hills over the next month so I could make one into a HM? Be a good excuse for a slow time.

reckon as a first timer doing a HM we can fit enough training into this in the short time we have?

Too far too soon for me lads, good luck

I’d say if you’re already around the 8 mile mark in running then yes... it’s 2/3rds of the way almost complete. Suppose it depends on how you’ve been feeling after your runs I guess

Depends what distances you typically run. If you are around the 8/9 mile mark, thats typically what I have run prior to a half.

Mainly run between 5k to 8k.

Aching like hell from Sunday if im honest

Does anyone suffer with this condition through running by any chance Plantar fasciitis

Yes mate. I've been struggling since Xmas. I've tried various different insoles and changed my trainers from a support shoe to a cushioned one. I'm walking and running pain free finally, but not really happy with the trainers.

I could be wrong mate but I think you have posted on here about having a few injuries of late.

Better qualified people on here than me like @Stuuuuuu but I would be cautious making that leap.

Thought I would dig out a time from last years heaton park winter warmer run, in February, to show that it can be done if you keep plugging away, I was blowing out of my arse that day and no way did I think it was possible to go nearly 16 minutes quicker a little over a year later. Hopefully a bit of motivation for folks to keep going.
