Thanks. Have you done any other member based websites, or is the wine angle your connection to this one the reason you were involved? #

Britain’s most picturesque marathon?

Matthew — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:08:58 +0000

BBC athletics commentator and former 1500m World Champion and record holder Steve Cram has launched a new race claiming to be Britain’s most picturesque – The Kielder Marathon.

The course, which is mainly off road, uses the Lakeside Way – a brand new trail that encircles the shoreline of Kielder Water, northern Europe’s largest man-made lake. Registration closes on 12 March 2010 and it will cost £35 to see if the claim is a valid one.

Mind you, I have always found that having if you are having a tough time of it during a race, there isn’t a single river, mountain or beautiful view that can make things feel any easier.

First run since the little one was born. Pretty tough 40 minutes. Suppose that's what 10 days of 3 hours sleep a night does for you #

Anyone else feel they have done something they shouldn't have done (in a good way) when they come back from a run after 10pm? #

Back from a ploddy 5 miler on the streets of south London. Straight into my top 10 of worst runs ever. Painful #
Its been 20 minutes since I got off my bike at Paddington after my 50 min ride from home. Feelings still to return to my hands. Brrrr #
Couldn't find time for a run today. My two bike rides just didn't make up for it. Miffed #
Amazing how much energy for the rest of the day an early morning run gives you. Buzzy buzzy buzzy #

Winter running tip: hot, sweet tea in your running bottle. Keeps your hands and belly nice and warm for the first 10 minutes #
