When Little Miss Bossy is not urging you to do another 4 x 400 reps after you’ve completed your hard session. This is what she gets up to.
This was the fourth annual trail race, taking in some of the parks, countryside, and sights of Marple. A multi terrain, mainly off-road, 10k race starting in Brabyns Park Marple, utilising sections (not the muddy part) of the Marple parkrun course before leaving the park via the canal locks, taking back roads and trails via Marple Hall to Chadkirk and up “that hill”, then back to Marple along the Peak Forest Canal, crossing the iconic Marple Aqueduct before finishing back at the start in Brabyns Park. She did really well coming in second. But someone must quietly explain the rules to her: Your bib number doesn’t mean you finish in that position.
Mind you – to run that far with a butterfly on your shoe takes some great running form.
