Hi all you awesome runners!!

First up, a big shout out to paul1960 and GoGo_JoJo who wouldn't be constrained by either time or distance! They have already opened our HU Virtual Running Event with a 21 mile and a 20 mile run respectively. Massive kudos to our two fabulous, fabulous frontrunners!

⭐ At time of posting we have a brilliant 30 entries to the HM and 45 to the 10k ⭐

β˜… β˜… β˜…

If this is the first you've heard of it, it's not too late to enter!!!

Half Marathon or 10k option

Main event Sunday 28th March, 9.30am

(although for greater flexibility we will accept runs at any time on Saturday 27th March - see update below - Sunday 28th March, or at any point during the following week of Mon 29th March - Sat 3rd April)

Links to earlier posts for more details can be found at the end of this post.

β˜… β˜… β˜…

β˜… Remember we have created a public playlist (HU Spring 2021 event playlist) using all your suggestions; available in Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music.

Here are the links again:

in Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/3...

in Apple music: music.apple.com/gb/playlist...

in YouTube music: music.youtube.com/playlist?...

If you don't have a Premium spotify account, you can still access the Spotify playlist but do bear in mind that there will be occasional ads and you will also be using your phone data (there is an article here with suggestions on how to minimise your data usage if that's likely to be an issue support.spotify.com/us/arti... ).

or if you wish to set up your own version of the playlist on a different platform, you can find the list of tracks here: docs.google.com/document/d/...

β˜… We have created a virtual race route for you to follow - one for the 10k and one for the Half Marathon. These can be accessed by downloading the RunGo app and searching for the appropriate route. The route will keep you company all the way (a little like Laura's podcast or MJ or Sarah and the others in the C25k app, or a guided run on NRC, or even the London marathon or London Winter 10k apps). A personalised HU virtual race with words of encouragement, entertainment, progress and route info, it is designed to help the time fly by🀞 It should co-exist happily alongside your choice of music player and whatever you normally use to record your run. It is of course entirely optional and whilst we hope it will make your experience more enjoyable, we cannot offer any guarantee you will like it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

If you are interested, but haven't had a try yet, check out the update post for links to the Guides which will help you get everything set up. There is even a '1k Try Me' virtual route which we recommend having a go with first, so everything is ready on the day. The three virtual routes can be found here:

1K Try Me routes.rungoapp.com/route/4...

HM routes.rungoapp.com/route/Z...

10K routes.rungoapp.com/route/9...

β˜… There are two really important points if you plan on using RunGo to follow our virtual route

- you must press the Virtual Outdoor (or treadmill) button to start your run. Do NOT press Run this or you will miss out on our virtual run experience!

- if you are on Android you need to download the route before running it; we have updated it many times this week and may do so right up to the start, so please, please make sure to press the 'Update' button before you run to ensure you have the latest version

β˜… Finally, there appears to be a storm rolling in on Sunday!!! This happens. The most prestigious events can fall victim to lousy weather and invariably the show goes on! Just occasionally there are last minute cancellations or alterations because of safety. Given concerns have been raised, we have decided to 'open' one day earlier for anyone who would prefer to run this Saturday 27th rather than Sunday 28th. Unless the forecast changes, I still plan to head out Sunday morning for the 'main event', but if you are at all concerned and prefer Saturday please do go for it. We will make sure the virtual routes are finished by tomorrow evening.

If you have any issues with the playlist or Rungo, let us know below. Any other questions, do shout.

So all that remains to be said is rest well, eat well, sleep well .... and we look forward to seeing you at the start line. Good luck everyone!!!!

Woohoo! Looking forward to what the virtual 10k commentary will bring. After managing 8k this week, I am hopeful for managing the 10k (after all it was only Nov when I ran a half, so how hard can it be??? 🀣). Palm Sunday is our first return to gathered worship at church, so I am planning to do my run on Weds😊 PS Linda I am very impressed at your efforts to proof listen to all the commentaries - above and beyond!

You will definitely run 10k, no doubt about that!!! Haha, the proof listening was very much required πŸ™‰πŸ™ˆπŸ™Š

All this talk about the half marathon has got in my head and I’m weighing up whether it’s worth the risk 😬

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

I don't know what distance you're at just now, but it's worth noting that some plans will only have you running 10 miles before your HM - leaving the adrenaline of the day to carry you through the last 5k. Not necessarily recommended if you are trying to run a PB or beat a target time, but for a sensible first half it would be doable. Only you know whether it will be sensible or not πŸ˜…

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

I can definitely do 10 miles, and I’m pretty sure I can do a half, as I will be doing it very slowly as I’m heart rate training at the moment. So if I do do it then it’ll be the slowest half ever but at least it will then be easy for me to beat next time

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

That all sounds very sensible - in fact, it almost sounds like a plan!!!

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

πŸ˜‚ I’m very close to committing πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ I will see how my legs feel tomorrow and then decide. They’ll have had two days rest by Sunday anyway so should be ready for me to embarrass myself πŸ˜‚

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

Actually, I’ve decided, I’m in! Gives me something to push for and it doesn’t matter if I don’t manage it. I will start earlier if that’s ok, as running at 140bpm means each mile takes a while!

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

You'll sleep better for having made the decision!!! If it doesn't feel right on the day, then finish early and submit a 10k time instead! Bib number 032 is now all yours and we'll see you on the start line!

Lookslikejames profile image
LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tolinda9389

It’s going to be the slowest half marathon you’ve ever seen! But yeah sounds like a plan, at least if I can’t make it I’ll have done the 10k. I’m really excited now, a bit more pressure to do it should help spur me on!

misswobble profile image
misswobbleMarathonβ€’ in reply toLookslikejames

There’s no hurry This is just for fun πŸ˜ƒ. If you go very carefully and see how far you can get. There’s no need to overdo things See how you feel on the morning as the weather might be bad which could help make your mind up

LookslikejamesMarathonβ€’ in reply tomisswobble

If the weather is bad then I’ll definitely do it as I love running in the rain! I’m pretty sure I will sign up, but will just see how my legs are tomorrow. So I’m 99% of the way convinced lol

Hi Linda,Congratulations to paul1960 and GoGo_JoJo πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ₯³πŸ₯³

I have been really looking forward to Sunday so I was gutted tonight to see the local weather forecast of heavy rain and strong winds on Sunday morning. πŸ˜₯

I don't mind running in the rain, but I'm not sure about an hm in a storm!

I'm going to keep my eye on the forecast and hope to run on Sunday. 🀞thanks for opening up the event on Saturday.

It will still be a fantastic hu virtual event. πŸ‘

It’s looking a little less hideous here on Sunday, and the wind, although far from ideal, is from a more favourable direction than last time. I’ll be there, and I’m hoping the fun playlist and RunGo will make my HM fly by!

Beachcomber66AdministratorHalf Marathonβ€’ in reply toTracytrace

When my knee went last May (speed challenge too much for my old joints!) I went to my sports physio as soon as I could. She diagnosed runners' knee plus a very painful plica which had me limping badly. I ended up with carefully placed and tensioned KT tape and a shed load of exercises, much of which was aimed at hip strengthening. It worked! As you are having doubts about the diagnosis, maybe a trip to a specialist sports physio is worth thinking about. My lot are serious people with masters degrees; I am confident that they know what they are doing.

Just as a guide, my physios charge Β£45 for a new patient ( they need added time to capture history) Β£40 for a 45 min follow up or Β£30 for a 30 minute follow (times vary with treatment required). I guess fees will vary from business to business.

Game plan is getting dafter by the minute linda9389 . Just downloading the playlist and have decided to preface it with "Remember you're a Womble!" It was the song chosen by my late brother-in-law to close his funeral, and my fundraising is for the hospice that cared for him. Having just listened to it for the first time in 13 years, turns out it's surprisingly good as a running song!

WOW, this really is an event to behold, thank you so much for your efforts on routes, playlists, commentary and all of the fun! I plan to run my 10k mid week, as I've been gradually upping my distance and just need a few more days in the bag and a couple of shorter steady runs in the legs, though we are forecast 20 degrees for Tuesday so I may avoid that!! Balmy 14 on Wednesday may have my name on it.

BlackberrypieHalf Marathon

Very excited about this. I have had a nice restful week with just a few short easy runs, have started working out what kit I want to wear, have trailwind ready for mid run and recovery, virtual route downloaded and nice shiny HM medal waiting in anticipation of success. I keep checking the weather forecast which fingers crossed doesn't look too bad at the moment here (like David I'm on the south coast) - no rain forecast, just pretty windy. I had vague notions of running along the coast for part of the distance but decided it was not good weather for cliffs so am doing a more sheltered route instead.

Thanks so much for all the effort that has gone into preparing this, so exciting to have our own virtual starting line.

linda9389 profile image
linda9389AdministratorMarathonβ€’ in reply toBlackberrypie

You sound well prepared, excellent! Running along the coast, without shelter, for 21.1k brings all sorts of challenges. I remember get well and truly sandblasted on more than one occasion on my Coast HM and the amount of sand left in the bath was unbelievable!!! Seeking shelter is a good move in my opinion πŸ˜„

Whilst I would greatly like to take part, I have to be sensible.

On Tuesday's short run after my 10 miler I tweaked my ankle somehow. Yesterday evening I did a few short jogs whilst out walking which showed me that it wasn't ready.

It's not been injured to the point that I wouldn't be able to run but I don't think it's wise to impose over an hour of repetitive strain on the ligaments.

I've got a HM route planned misswobble but haven't actually calculated the 21.1k. If it's under I can add distance fairly easily at the end. If it's over, I guess I just have to keep running, as there aren't really any short cuts. Though I could maybe get a lift from the hunters 🀣🀣🀣

I am really looking forward to it. Setting off en masse is going to be epic.

See you at the start line everyone. I'm now off to make some energy bars.

Rocket fuel! !!!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha !

Thank you again for all you have done and especially offering for Saturday as an option. The two days look much the same here, possibly a couple of mph windier on Sunday. I will stick with plan A and if it's grim i will abort and try Wednesday instead.

At least you have some options. Fingers crossed Sunday won't be as bad as feared. Whenever you decide to run, have a good one!

Hi, some of my virtual running buddies are doing this. I will be out in support but will only be doing 5k. (I’m still building up to run 10k) Thanks for the play list. I love the idea of sharing some banging tunes with you all.

Thankyou so much for all the effort put into this! I will stick to the plan to run Sunday, although I was planning a trail route πŸ€” that might need some adaptations if the rain keeps up! Good luck to everyone whenever and wherever you are running!
