The Hebden

[Martyn P]

I'm in :thumbup: 't missus too .... probably a bad idea, she usually beats me.

Not getting lost at least once is about as likely for me as missing out on the stollen or dripping butties :closed:

I'm in - but will need to add a few miles at the end so I can count it as an ultra.

You can just run along the canal & back if you've had enough of hills by the time you've finished. I may even join you (did I really say that?)

Oh dear, oh dear oh dear...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: so many events, sol ittle time.
It's happening all the time now. I've already entered the Helsby half marathon for the day after. Do I do a sensible lead up and go for a half marathon pb? Or do I do The Hebden?
Or do I (and I don't know why I'm asking cos I already know the answer) run The Hebden hard and hang on for the half marathon as a good hard training weekend towards the Haworth Hobble?

[LM]

Yes! As you say, you already know the answer. Come over to my neck of the woods and have a good crack at the Hebden.

You could always do the half Hebden and save some for your half marathon........just a thought.

I'm running the Hebden & marshalling the 4 Villages (Helsby Half) the next day. Better that than the other way round! Those roads play havoc with my Mudclaws.

See you there Mark ( you know you want those Clif bars!)
Peh! half marathon... if I really hope to get 52@52 I'll have to do 2 some weekends- man up!

[HelenSkelton]

or you could bin Helsby (which has a big hill at the back of the course, so isn't a PB course anyway) and do Wrexham Village Bakery instead (like me!) which is pancake flat and sits nicely between the Hebden and the Hobble :thumbup: (smarm, smarm :wink: )
