This sounds amazing.

I reckon John Kelly has his 2021 challenges sorted - another grand round and another Pennine Way.

There's plenty of live athletics tonight if you want to watch on either Facebook or Instagram (@teamprojectrun) - 5k races in Milton Keynes and the Bromley invitational.

Looks like it is getting painful. Hope he manages to finish.

I wonder if he should have attempted the Ramsay, the most difficult, first.

Yes. That's out of place and inappropriate.

I have some sympathy with podium. They're doing their best to get high quality fast racing going and raise standards with little to no support from EA. I'd imagine that being told they can't have races, days after British records were set there, is incredibly frustrating. Not everything in sport needs to be about inclusivity.

Next July is the current plan. Hoping to recce each leg twice and build a support team in that time.

maybe a problem with the tracker this morning, or he is having some extra rest in Keswick?

My quads are battered after Sunday, even gentle road downhills hurt.

Very possibly. But another argument I've heard is that maybe racing lesseans that athletes are able to perform better when they do. I'd really hope that Laura Weightman isn't doping and that her run was the result of a substantial training block and a good race.

Did my first BGR recce this morning - two Nav errors one in the mist and the other taking slightly the wrong route off Blencathra. Will definitely need to do it again before the big day. Decent morning out with some good views until the cloud base at 650m.

Good luck to him.

Monaco last night was pretty ludicrous.

45s is quite a lot smaller, particularly on the wrist. I bought one, by accident, to replace a 45.

Good post!

My concern with these grand round maps is that they don't give enough of the surrounding area to work out where you are if you get lost. I definitely won't recce the BGR with only the BGR map.

That therma rest reminds me that I need a new mat before the OMM in October. We've entered the A course, which will be a real test of our abilities and fitness.

London expected to be cancelled apart from an elite race today.

do it!

First three fixtures of the Met X country league have been cancelled. Might have to rejoin Kent!

This is a great idea. Me too.

I had this yesterday and this morning, lap button stopped working, no pace, no distance. Have tried the fix, but am yet to test it.

Yeah I got the impression from twitter that he fancies a North south effort

That's an incredible effort. Are there any more attempts on the record due this summer?

Very impressive. Reminds me of walking in the Howgills as a kid and being flown over by the RAF.

And another attempt in the Pennine Way is about to start...

And a race report: https://randomforestrunner.com/2020/07/a-new-pennine-way-record/

Long but insightful.

All the keen marathon runners I know are looking abroad at the moment: Athens, Limassol, San Sebastian, Helsinki.

I ran a 400m for the first time ever last night, 58s, my hamstrings are very tight today.

It looks like John Kelly is struggling a bit, although the north east weather today is cool and damp, which should help.

So a full running club now? Shame there's no racing and it sounds like autumn x country is doubtful as well.

Nice work @greenbank

I wish it was confirmed. there's a lot of life that could intervene but I'd like to.

Up in the first 9 hours but there is a long long way to go.

This dot watching is making me want to try going up the distances a bit. But i think it is probably best to go up the distances in the countryside as anything over 10k on the roads can be pretty dull. So, BGR next summer...

Totally. Absolutely amazing.
