A runners diary of a fat and unfit person who decides to go from zero to ultra runner, see how he gets on. Author of books -
@jasondarbybooks.bsky.social - sometimes runs, but also walks a lot.
#wrexhamhalf The thing is, running events bring a lot of money to an area. The hotels were always pretty much full and obviously people spent money in the area on food etc. I'm not from wrexham but would spend a few days there as a short break as well as I'd do the run.

Still impressive either way.

Good Pace! Nice one.

Should never be ashamed of walking, sometimes it's just not the day. Pushing yourself to complete it is the important thing.

Dunkirk is an extremely interesting movie, reduced dialogue, with an amazing Hans zimmer sound track. Very moving.

Thats a lot of miles for a month, well done. I think I struggled to get 110 once and that had a 70 miler in it :D

My daughter is allergic to exercise 😂

Dunno about that, countryside running is more scary I think!

My daughter loves silent hill, perhaps I can use that as an excuse to get her to do some exercise (sure it won't work). 😂

Never done the Oxford half, done a few runs down that way. Might be one for me to try and do at some point.

I think sometimes you need to push yourself, but I think it's perfectly fine to have a week off. Especially for us older and unfitter folk :D

Running in fog is brill but also a little bit creepy :)

Been a while since I've done a half marathon, maybe next month.

That looks ace! Seems more interesting than my run around housing estates and a park.

This is what motivates me to run/walk/excercise. Seeing places like this, nice one!

Thanks, I’m hard on myself but just want to improve, but hopefully disappointment leads to motivation (I so hope so 😂)
