First a bit of background...
I'm fast approaching 40, and prior to my first fell race in June, I hadn't run competitively since my school days. That's not to say that I haven't kept in some semblance of shape - I cycle, go to the gym and jog, but all without any real long term plan.
I've six races under my belt now, and I've two real targets - one, to get up the field (my aim so far has been to beat the last 10%, but I want to work to mid-table), two, to build up stamina to take on an AM/AL or endurance style race. I've been dropping some of the gym sessions in favour of more running, in order to get to more of a runners physique - I'm 5 10 and was tipping the scales at 14st 10 on my first race. After yesterdays Stanage Struggle I was exactly a stone lighter.
I've read plenty of threads on here/other sites but would appreciate any input on how I might achieve these goals, particularly from anyone who has undertaken a similar endeavour, and in a manner that I can work around a wife and two young kids!
Thanks.
