⭐⭐ Let us know your February events ⭐⭐

[linda9389]

Hi there fellow eventers!

Are you running an event this February? Would you like to be included in the weekly POM POM post so we can give you a BIG CHEER?

As you may already know, we put up a new post each month to log everyone's events (there's a separate one for January - link at the bottom of this post).

So, if you've entered a race this February (it doesn't have to be a marathon - any event, any distance) make a note in the comments below so we can cheer you on.

Please tell us the name of the event, the date and give us a link to the event website if available, and we'll add you to the weekly pom-pom cheer !!!!!

Happy running!

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

I’m doing The Wiltshire 10 on 9 February, a 10 mile road race with lots of speedy youngsters 🙀 It’ll be my first ever race at this distance so I’m part excited/part eeeek but it’ll test my HM training in readiness for March 🏃‍♀️💪🙂

stampedesports.co.uk/?page_...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Irishprincess]

Sounds great! Good luck!

[O505k Half Marathon]

London Winter Run on 9th Feb for me.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to O505k]

Yay! ⛄❄☃️

[Hidden]

London Winter Run for me too - though whether I will be able to run the whole of it with the chest problem remains to be seen. My GP has assured me I won’t do myself any harm - it’s just hard to breathe, so I may have to break the run up with walking sessions. Never done that before. I run a lot faster than my fast walk, so my time will suffer.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Hidden]

Yay ☃️❄⛄Hopefully it will be warmer for you. Jeffing can be fast, don't be too despondent.

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda ❤️ I don’t understand the jeffing being faster: if I walk flat out I can’t match my running speed. Anyway, needs must. I was hoping to do it in not much more than an hour, but I think that’s out the window now. Anyway, for that bling I will crawl round! 😂

[SlowLoris in reply to Hidden]

I think some people can run at a faster pace if they have walk breaks. Probably less likely as the difference between the two increases.

[Hidden in reply to SlowLoris]

Ah, ok, that makes sense, though It doesn’t seem to be working that way for me. With this blighted chest affliction, I’m out of breath whatever speed I run at

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Hidden]

The bling, the atmosphere ... I'm not planning on pushing, just enjoying the spectacle 👍

[Hidden in reply to linda9389]

You got the flying Hokas girl, you will cruise it!!!

[AbiPa 10 Miles]

Nottingaham winter warmers 10K for me on 9th Feb.

thefixevents.com/the-nottin...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to AbiPa]

Fabulous! That' a busy weekend! Good luck.

[tiggs1 Marathon]

I have 2 races in February, on the 9th I am doing the hurtle which is a road race and in the daytime which is a new thing for me as everything else I have done is at night and trail. runningforever.club/humdinger/ Maybe next year at this event I will do the humdinger half marathon

On the 15th February though I am back to my comfort zone doing the 10k escape from wych woods trail race in the dark flyingfoxrunning.co.uk/race...

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to tiggs1]

Another busy month for you! Good luck.

[JaoJao]

Me too! Me too!

London Winter Run on 9th Feb!

Good luck to everyone racing in February whatever your event! You’ve got this!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to JaoJao]

Yay! ⛄❄☃️. There'll be a long, long post on 7th Feb 😀. Good luck.

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Oh no. I haven’t got anything booked until end of May. I might have to do something about that! 🤔🧐

[Mandaree Half Marathon]

Poole Winter Warmer 10K on the 15th!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Mandaree]

Mmm, that sounds niiiccee. Enjoy!

[Time_Lord Half Marathon]

Me. 10 mile trail race on Cannock Chase on Sunday February 9th. My first trail race x

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Time_Lord]

Excellent! Hope you really enjoy it 🙂

[David_G Metric Marathon]

Hi, can you add me to the HU posse at London Winter Run please? Hopefully i'll meet some of them on February 9th!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to David_G]

When I get back I will put my mind to finding sonewhere we can try to meet up. Not that I'm the right person for the job as I don't know London at all 😍. Not long now!

[David_G Metric Marathon]

No, it certainly isn't! I think there were around 30,000 people taking part last year so my friend had trouble picking me out even though I must have run past her! I'm not the tallest chap though, so that might account for it.! 🙂

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

I should be doing this on 9th February

" Lord Pikes XC Castle Half Of Awesomeness"

It might only be visible on Facebook though as is a unofficial race that id still trialing!

Xxx

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

... because you couldn't have a weekend off! You are amazing 😍😍😍

[Fatgirlslim19]

It's a bit short compared to the others listed there, but I'm doing a Stoke Association 5km on the 23rd of February! Does this count?

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Absolutely it counts! Good luck 😍

[Fatgirlslim19 in reply to linda9389]

Thanks!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Can you add me to the London Winter Run on the 9th, Linda?🙂

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Brilliant. Maybe see you there 😀

[Tjcp Half Marathon]

Hi! 16th February half marathon in Barcelona! My 5th!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Tjcp]

Fabulous - sounds wonderful after all the mud I ran in today! Good luck 😍

[Tjcp Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thanks!

[pianoteacher Marathon Half Marathon]

Hi Linda I don't usually put my club only races up for a shout out but this one is pretty epic so I think I will!

I'm doing the Hastings Runners Pier2Pier race on Sun 9th Feb. We get taken by coach to Eastbourne Pier and then we have to run back - you would think from the name back to Hastings pier but no......once you get there it's another mile or so on to the angling club at the end of the seafront 🤣

16.1 miles in total and the weather forecast is atrocious - at least the predicted 45mph wind is behind us!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to pianoteacher]

Oh crikey! Coastal runs are fab ... apart from the brutal weather! Good luck 😍

[acebiros Half Marathon]

I'm a bit late to the party, but supposed to be doing the inaugural Chichester Harbour 15k trail run this Saturday 8th, but having been floored for the past 10 days by a nasty virus I'm unsure as to whether or not I'll be there … It is a fantastic route around Thorney Island and sure to be a lovely muddy one!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to acebiros]

Not too late! We'll give you a shout out and wish you good luck. Feel better fast.

[acebiros Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you

[aliboo70 Half Marathon]

My event has been cancelled for this Sunday! 😕xxx

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Thanks for letting us know. Hope you aren't too disappointed

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to aliboo70]

Sorry I didn't see this before Sqkr put up the pom pom post!

[Scarletsunrise Half Marathon]

I'm doing the brighton half at the end of this month. First half marathon!

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Scarletsunrise]

Fabulous, good luck! A great choice for your first HM. We already have four HUers in our spring half marathon group doing that one, including our very own roseabi , so HU will be very well represented 😍
