The #Lidingöloppet did not disappoint, a brutal 30km cross-country run in #Sweden. I completed it in a little over 3 hours, got to be happy with that at my age, I spent the entire race #running with people mostly half my age! #ukrunchat #loverunning

It's race day!!! Visited the expo yesterday at the #Lidingöloppet (did I mention that it's the biggest cross-country race in the world??!) Just need to hope the hotel do decent porridge now.... #loverunning #running #runchat #ukrunchat

After a quicker 9 miler on Saturday morning, this was my last long(ish) run at pretty much race pace, great to randomly bump into my mate Neil as well! Taking it easy now, looking forward to the #Lidingoloppet in #Stockholm at week on Saturday! #ukrunchat #loverunning

Feeling tired but fantastic after my last long run before the #Lidingoloppet in #Stockholm at the end of September. 17 miles #running at close to race pace with significant climbing. Very happy with that. Tapering a little bit now.. #ukrunchat #notquitemarathontraining

Another in my series of boringly consistent runs, spending #Timeonfeet as I maintain my weekly #running distance (30 - 35 miles) before tapering. I let my early retired grey hair flutter in the breeze today instead of the usual baseball cap! #notquitemarathontraining #ukrunchat

Trying to keep the momentum going with another decent effort. My pace when #running solo is getting boringly consistent! #ukrunchat #notquitemarathontraining #Lidingoloppet

Long run Sunday, so another 15 miles today makes it 45 miles #running in the last 8 days. Two more weeks of this then a bit of a taper... #ukrunchat #notquitemarathontraining #Loverunning #Lidingoloppet

Need to have about 3 weeks of higher mileage (then a short taper) in preparation for #running the 30km #Lidingoloppet in #Stockholm in September, this effort after Sunday's 13 miles is a decent start... #loverunning #notquitemarathontraining #ukrunchat #retiredlife

It's another glorious Sunday so it must be long run day, 12.5 miles with a couple of big climbs, out of #Mirfield then out of #Brighouse We're both prepping for different September challenges, so useful miles in the bank #loverunning #running #ukrunchat #runchat

Brutally tough but necessary 14 mile training run this morning, thanks to Sherpa Mark and @WasimHu07846812 for keeping me going when it got really tough. Spectacular views across the #Yorkshire countryside though, almost made it worth it #stillloverunning #ukrunchat #running

After the sheer joy of playing music at #Butefest2025 @ButeFest at the weekend, back into training this morning, 15 miles #running at an average pace just under 9 mins per mile, I even assisted unsticking a stuck barge on the canal at the 12 mile point! #loverunning #ukrunchat
