Train to RACE though... (obviously! duh!)

We're not putting in all this training for no reason now, are we?! As Coach G said "you need a specific goal...and then a structured training programme leading straight to that goal to ensure you peak at the right time".
Here are a few races I have come across that look interesting / fun / the right distance / all of the aforementioned! Click the race title to be taken to the specific website :)

Also check out this article by The Guardian about 'why we love to run'. Here is an excerpt..."But if we push on, running harder, deeper into the loneliness, further away from the world and the structure of our lives, we begin to feel strangely elated, detached yet at the same time connected, connected to ourselves. With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin to get a vague, tingling sense of who, or what, we really are."
