Finally got to Newcastle

On Sunday the 15th November I finally covered the distance from Felixstowe to Newcastle, only about 2 months too late.

So this is the last entry in this blog, but I've just started a longer lived running blog -  Malcolm Runs. The map on this one sees me on a long loop around the shores of mainland Britain, starting off with the 290 miles form this blog.  Not sure how far it is but the 290 takes me up to around Hull - onwards and upwards as they say

Running with the road runners

For the last couple of Tuesdays I've been out with the Felixstowe Road Runners - it's good to get out running with others and you never quite know what your going to get. Last week it was a pyramid session using  the side turnings off Westmorland Road, Eastcliff then Walnut Cl, etc., jogging back to the junction with Cliff Rd each time.  Yesterday was more of an interval session running around the block (about 600m) quickly a short walk/jog rest and round again.  I only managed 3 of this short route, it's all about maintaining a prolonged fast effort rather than the distance. 

Good fun and hopefully doing me some good too
