    Worth noting the Rome Ostia half in March. Short trip around the city and then a straight road to the old port town. Quite flat too... Completely agree about the winter training being the best bit! The reward of getting in after a long run in the cold is unbeatable for me.

    Warwick is definitely not flat, though does have a quick slight downhill finish. A well organised and enjoyable experience though.

    A blast from the past, I remember doing the Bourton 10K when I think Mark Flint won it in just over 29mins!!! He looked like he floated over the ground! Anyway, if the Jewlers still sponsor it, it should be a good event.
    Dennis Walmsley was the local hero!

    Warwick isn't flat, but it is fairly fast. Bath is reasonably quick apart from the cheeky hill at the end, where you will lose about 20 seconds. The surrey half in Wokingham is a good course, same day as bath 👍

    • @TheFODRunner

    The video I’ve been waiting for! Very much like you, ran Dublin this weekend in a PB 2:55 but should have done better really (poor fuelling plan and inadequate mileage in build up). We’re all in that post marathon funk! Thanks mate, great video and good luck on the shorter stuff, that’ll also be my focus for next while!

      @DamianoCunegodagreat 17 годин тому

      @ cheers mate! Yep. Few hills in it for sure. Average mileage ended up being 49k for the 12 weeks due to some illness and the impact of small kids on training! So given that I shouldn’t be too disappointed. I do wonder how you manage to fit in such high mileage constantly with a busy lifestyle very impressive juggling! 👍

    She needs to be more dedicated. They’re great training, fun I enjoy more than the 10K.

      I’d make one a goal race and the other the backup… then there’s no issue 👊 make the decision closer to the time to see what the weathers like and then just have a week of easy running post 1st half… smal workouts in the 2nd week, normal workouts 3 week, taper 4th week
