    my aims for 2015 was to PB the three peaks, complete the Lakeland 100 (after failing to complete in 2014) and PB the Ben Nevis race.
    Achieved all three and I have set the same targets for 2016 except that two weeks before the L100 I am 60 so in the following 12 months I want to achieve 60 PB's by either doing a race faster than before a completing a new race. this will start with the L100 so for any race that i dont achieve a PB I will need to do another race so could mean a lot of races in 2016/2017

    That's a pretty impressive to do list. Good luck.

    Agreed, very inspirational.

    Reasonably pleased with the range/qty of races I completed in 2015….. but going to try and up things for 2016. Here’s a minimum of what I intend to do …… Trigger, Hebden 22, Haworth Hobble, HPM, Four Inns, LM42, Fellsman, OCT, Ennerdale, V3K, Lakes 10 Peaks, LL50, Bullock Smithy, Lakes In A Day. I’m either going to get stronger as the year goes on, or turn into a physical wreck.

    My aim is to enjoy it. This year has been difficult with a series of niggles and lurgies and when you're as slow as me on the fells, you can do without them.

    Yorkshire Three Peaks again for me. Love the terrain, the atmosphere of the race and if I can keep getting round and beating the cut-offs then I'm doing OK.

    I want to go back to Duddon and do the full race. My kids pull my leg because I love "views" and I just loved Duddon the last and only time I did it.

    Just hoping to be back enjoying racing again. 2015 has been an odd year for me and I've not felt 100% for ages. Planning on doing BOFRA this year and hopefully get some fun back

    Turner Landscape is a lovely race. It's probably my favourite AM in the lakes. Hard enough without feeling like you're killing yourself Three shires is a different story entirely
