I've just signed up for the CLASP 25 mile walk out of darkness challenge.
Really looking forward to it but a bit nervous about the 25 mile bit.
I am also doing a couple of local 5 mile walks for charity too so counting those as training.
Have you signed up for anything? Want to chat and share tips for training?

I've signed up for two Race for Life 5K runs: a week apart, in July, and am following the C25K plan so that I can run them properly. I was coerced into doing it by a friend, yet am grudgingly enjoying it
25 miles is a great target to aim for. Good luck!0 -
I'm doing race for life but will be walking it. No matter how hard I try I am just not a runner!
Good luck on your runs though. They are always great fun with a lovely community feel on the day 0 -
I'd never even tried before, but the C25K is magically converting me :-)
I went running out in the drizzle last weekend before breakfast and realised I'd morphed into one of those people I used to silently pigeon hole as "nutters". Looking forward to the big event now!0 -
Hi
I decided to apply for the Great North Run, I thought it is so oversubscribed I would never get a place but I have. Now I have to get going. I have signed up for race for life as a starter. I know I will not be able to run it all but it will give me a bench mark of how unfit I am.
Half of me thinks I am mad and the other half knows how good I feel about half an hour after a run. It is not a race I am only competing with myself. I will be fitter and raise money for charity a win - win situation.0 -
Well done, freya33. I've been there as a taxi-driver/supporter several times for my hubby. The atmosphere is fantastic, and it is mega busy!
Have you run at all before? I can recommend the NHS C25K plan f you haven't, to get you to the 5K. I did my first ever 5K yesterday and it feels great. Look at me, sounding like an expert!! I'd never ran at all until a few months back.
I still can't imagine doing a half marathon, and kudos for signing up for it.
<edit: the NHS site has a 10K plan as well, I think>0 -
Hey!
I'm doing the speed of light 5k in the Bournemouth marathon festival weekend.
I am using the C210K app as I gradually want to run a 10k. I have never enjoyed running as much as I do now
Good luck 0 -
I'm doing the Soton Race for Life as my first ever group 5K, in July. Just over 4 weeks to go.0
