Today a self supported 50 miler, its been a long time since I've ran that distance. Carrying a 8kg rucksack, the legs definitely felt it today. Lots of run, walk, run for last half. I'm going to be feeling it in the morning.

@Yiannis_83 @MorayRoadRunner @runr_uk @UKRunChat Also when we meet up, we meet in a large open space. Each group is given a different meeting point in the area. So limited interaction with the other groups.

[Jon Ward @RAF100Marathons]

It's great to be back club training although very different with new social distancing guidelines. Worked in groups of 3, maintaining social distancing and separate routes for each group. 1hr tonight, 30 mins out and back.

@tango5tavy @parkrunUK @UKRunChat @runr_uk Look forward to it, hopefully it won't be too far away mate.

Buzzing, really happy with todays time. Its been 2 months since I last did a timed @parkrunuk. Since, then I've struggled with motivation & a constant niggle with my left hamstring. I've also watched my VO2 max go from 64 to 58.

Can't believe it was a year ago today that I became the first person to run the @NorthEast250, raising money for @RAFBF. What an amazing adventure it was. Amazing scenery and got to experience so of the best Scottish hospitality.

@247running @runr_uk @UKRunChat @NorthEast250 Yeah I ran it over 6 days, it was the most amazing adventure. The only thing it being a driving route, there's a lot of running on main A roads.

@NorthEast250 I did it over 6 days starting and finishing at the tail of the route just pass Glenshee Ski centre. I raising money for @RAFBF and trying to promote the route. Stayed in some amazing hotels/bnb on route.

@keeponrunning20 @runr_uk @UKRunChat Trying to but although I was shattered, the body has gone straight into recovery mode, working hard. It's difficult to sleep.

[Jon Ward @RAF100Marathons]

@247running @runr_uk @UKRunChat Highly recommend. This time last year I set off to be the first person to run @NorthEast250, it's a driving route that takes through Malt Whisky country, down along the coast then up through the Cairngorms. Not a trail route but highly recommend too.

[Jon Ward @RAF100Marathons]

@247running @runr_uk @UKRunChat Yeah the first part is 17 miles along the Moray Coastal path. It's a wonderful trial with amazing views out over the Moray Firth and the Black Isle.
