Food for thought for me.Victor Meldrew OUT. Knock off seven decades IN.

This is a real life example of age only being a number.I am going to laugh like a drain all of 2020.

Trotting my way through a four phase plan to a laughing all the way once in a lifetime marathon.

Every good wish to you and yours with and for your 2020 plans.πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘

It will be a great year for you Tbae, hopefully no injuries, running at your own comfortable pace, just gradually increasing the distance you run until you get to 26 miles

Have you any particular marathon in mind or do you just want to run it somewhere on your own?

So I wish you and your family a very Happy New Year for 2020

Thanks Alan.

An event must be great Alan.Don’t want too much involvement with getting to a start line.

The Holy Island marathon in AugustπŸ€” maybe a possibility and has a very generous 10 hour cut off.It uses part of the day 1 and day 3 Ring of Fire event.

I am chilled about this.

Just want to experience running for 6 hours.From my gate/drinking station I have an already made 10/11/12 km circuit that I can just repeat 4 times.Job done.

Well that’s the plan.Long way to go.

Every good wish with your sub 30 min 5k.

Hope I can follow you.Ran 2:45 pace last week over the 100m, hoping the improved leg turnover will help.

You will be able to run that Holy Island Marathon in far less than 10 hours, that is 71 minute 5K pace, I think you will be able to run it in 6 hours, that is 42.40 5K pace, you have plenty of time to train for it.

Yes I think so Alan.That should be doable.Its not much quicker than a brisk walking pace.πŸ€”πŸ™ˆπŸ€£πŸ€£πŸŒπŸŒ

I cannot believe you have been running continuously for years.

When I look at your 2019 stats you have ran up Everest twice and some more.πŸ™ˆπŸ€£

You would take apart the only UK 5k with a 1k vertical ascent race, in Kinlochleven, running up a Munro in the Mamores.

Not to mention your channel plans.

Do not know how you cope with your gruelling schedule and lovely to see more of you on here.

Just awesome you are Julia.
