    Me and 4 pals have all signed up to the big half Mrs got me the runna app for 12 months for Xmas. So am starting off with a path to 5k for 8 weeks 
    followed by a 5k - 10k plan for 8 weeks 
    4 weeks of doing regular runs at distance of 7-10k 
    then will do a half marathon plan so I’m ready for the big half. 

    Have booked a gait analysis for a couple of weekends time is this a good thing to do when purchasing trainers? 
    I've signed up to this too, see it's sold out already. Looking forward to it

    Ran the Olympic Park 10km this weekend, placed 199th out of 301 runners. Considering I was 135kg this time last year and could barely run 1km, I'll take it.

    59:50, sub 1hour too. Best believe I was sprinting to the finish line haha

    How did you find it @DoctorCharlton ? 

    I’ve looked at those regular events over Olympic Park before but not done one yet. 

    I’m also signed up for Big Half again, looking to improve my pathetic attempt last year

    First race for me so nothing to compare it against but really enjoyed it. Really easy registration process, race photos and medal included. Marshalls were amazing, think it's worth the £30 registration fee.

    I've signed up again for the March event.

    Victoria Dock Parkrun has announced it is closing today (presumably through the amount of hard work getting enough volunteers each week rather than all you homers not touristing…)
    Shame as I’d not managed to get there yet but on the plus side it makes me one closer to Lon-done….
