Hamsterley Forest Marathon

[Christopher Schroeter]

Panic setting in and its still over a week away!

[Christopher Schroeter]

It's the final countdown (cue music!)

 

My legs are sore just thinking about it.

Rest, rest and rest. Don't be tempted to put in a final blast of training - it will be counter-productive. If you have been training well then you will feel very tempted to run this week but you want to be like a coiled spring on the day, ready to release (just gradually over 26 miles!).

 

Eat well and get lots of sleep this week. Best of luck!

I think your gonna surprise yourself

 

I'm marshalling a 30k TT tonight and the weather is horrific , they must be hardy or off their heads

[Christopher Schroeter]

Thanks to everyones support so far.

 

Last blatant request for sponsorship.

 

Christopher Schroeter is fundraising for Parkinson?s UK

 

I will destroy myself physically and mentally all in the name of charity!

I will have to run over the beautiful Blackling Hole waterfall 3 times on a 7.5 mile lap. Even thats gonna look sh*t by the end!

[Christopher Schroeter]

DONE.

I'll have enjoyed it if you ask me next week! But today......

[silky fox]

Well done Chris!

[Christopher Schroeter]

Good work mate! Just managed to get my donation in for ya, go mountain biking at Hamsterley so know how harsh it can be in the wet! Top skills, you deserve many a pint!

[Christopher Schroeter]

Thanks Mark. Much appreciated. Haven't cycled Hamsterley for years. Looks like they've made some good routes. Give me a shout when you go down next and I might try some, as long as youre not one of them downhill monsters!!
