I love mountains and it’s my dream to run up as many as poss.

So- I’ve just signed up for the Snowdonia marathon next October. I’m so excited that I’ve got a place and I have nearly a year to get ready.

I’ve also decided that for the first time I will follow a training plan. I’m going to do a 12 week Myasics plan. I’m putting it here so I don’t change my mind!!!

Woohoo

Sky high panthering here we come

Well done 😁.

If you do all the runs on the plan you’ll be fine. You can switch the sessions about but just do them all It gives you a sense of ‘job done’ once complete as you know the work is done and you’re ready 💪😃

You have a year to train and you’re very strong anyway. This run will suit you down to the ground. Needless to say I am in awe!

I know, I'd read up on it before so I was there at 7am ready to book, I had to wait in a queue for 40 minutes till I got to the front!!
