    Coniston 14

    Saturday March 24th 2007

    I am doing this race for the first time. I'm using it as a bit of a test for the FLM 4 weeks later.

    Anyone else entered?

    No not Windermere to much traffic, so off to Cape Wrath for the week of events and the Marathon there which is the same weekend as Windermere.

    Then i will tag on another weeks holiday and get some walking/running on the Sutherland hills.

    Such Bliss.

    No, not entered. A shade too far for me to race now. But I reckon it's a good race to do before the FLM and just the right distance in my opinion. Twenty milers, like some do, take too much out of you before a marathon. Another good one of similar distance, the Dentdale Run, was the one I used as a build-up for London.
    Incidentally, I believe my MV60 record at Coniston, set in 1996, still stands.
    Cheers!
