9:15 14 October Leicester Half-Marathon

Not sure if anyone is up for a run round Leicester, but the 1/2M (14/10) course has been changed this year, moved back into the city and as a consequence is pancake flat (apparently). There's a mile or two on towpath (gravel), but other than that it looks like PB potential. Thought I'd do this as a tune-up for Bergamo. If you're interested there are some details here:

Training Tuesdays

Last night due to heavy traffic congestion I was late arriving at the Tennis Centre so apologies to anyone who gave up waiting. Also due to injury of key members the Bramcote run was cancelled at short notice so again apologies to anyone put out by the no shows. Going forward I am suspending the Tennis Centre sessions until January when hopefully the traffic may have eased slightly. The Bramcote group is also suspended until there is a compliment of regulars again. It will be announced on this blog.
