Great North West Half Marathon – Sun 19 Feb
From Hilda Coulsey… Photo credit Tim Waterworth Up and down the prom in Blackpool, what’s not to like?!

I’d also seen its elevation profile (just over 300 metres climb) and decided it looked like cracking training for the flat halves I have coming up. Kate […]
