Steve Mee's long distance adventures. Tuesday, 17 July 2012. Lakeland Trails Coniston Marathon 2012. Being so close to the Lakeland 50 I missed this event last year but this year was going to be a real Spartan-fest, with 16 club members turning out across the Marathon, half and 10k. I couldn't say no! Gareth, Paul A and Alan studying the route. At Bank Ground farm. Having a great time with Paul at Tarn Hows, around 10 miles in. Paul and I went through half way in 2:02, both feeling as fresh as a daisy...

Races across the major deserts of the World, and the training events along the way - Richard Weremiuk. Monday, 22 March 2010. Atacama Crossing 2010 Race Report. If you haven’t already read my report from last year’s event you can find it here. So, I signed up for 2010’s race. I couldn’t be that unlucky twice could I? I pointed this out and they helpfully offered me a full refund, with just 24 hours notice. Thanks for your service Opodo. Helped me out, as he speaks fluent Spanish. We struck up a frien...

Desert Racer: The Hebden
http://www.desertrace.co.uk/2010/01/hebden.html
Races across the major deserts of the World, and the training events along the way - Richard Weremiuk. Tuesday, 26 January 2010. Ahead of last weekend’s event, all of my training went to plan. On Tuesday I did a 20 minute flat out speed session on the treadmill, then spent some time stretching in the gym afterwards. I’ve been suffering from very tight ITB and illiopsoas muscles, so I’ve been trying to stretch them a little more. I’m sure a local will let me know! I remembered her then! Stage 6 - 16km - T...

http://www.desertrace.co.uk/2013/04/mri-results-back-injury.html
Races across the major deserts of the World, and the training events along the way - Richard Weremiuk. Monday, 8 April 2013. MRI results, back injury. I've had by MRI results. The spinal surgeon in London has reviewed the results and the diagnosis is that I have a Pars defect of my L5. This is a healed fracture of an old injury, probably in my teens. This can be very clearly seen below. I've circled the break. I'm not an MRI expert but I'm pretty sure that's it! Ultimatey the disc collapses in time, and ...

http://www.desertrace.co.uk/2010/02/anglezarke-amble.html
Races across the major deserts of the World, and the training events along the way - Richard Weremiuk. Sunday, 14 February 2010. You'll need to scroll down a little to read about the Anglezarke Amble, as the rest of my week's news is first. This week things didn't go precisely to plan, but it's ended on an absolute high. Probably not, but every little helps I guess! I parked on the damn of the Anglezarke Reservoir and took this photo. Nice eh? I'm hoping for Karma payback in Chile! As I sat down waiting ...

Races across the major deserts of the World, and the training events along the way - Richard Weremiuk. Sunday, 30 October 2011. After a good weeks training including some solid speed work I got an 8am flight out with Ryanair. I’ve somehow managed to avoid flying with them before, and won’t be rushing to repeat the experience for more reasons that I can list. I met up with Charlie Sharpe at Liverpool airport and we flew out to Malaga for the Ultimate Frontera. Race At Malaga we met up with Annie Garcia.

Steve Mee's long distance adventures. Wednesday, 5 June 2013. Norley Primary School Sports Day Dads Beanbag Race. Alex bouncing to third place in the sack race. After the mums egg and spoon race came the big event. The bean bags were placed, the starter was ready and the finish line officials positioned themselves, poised eagle-eyed to count the finishers home. Meanwhile the dads strutted about the field, not wanting to get into position too soon or look each other in the eye. With a glance over his shou...

Running on Trail: Montane Lakeland 50
http://runningontrail.blogspot.com/2013/08/montane-lakeland-50.html
Steve Mee's long distance adventures. Thursday, 1 August 2013. Well, of course I have a few excuses! I had a stomach bug the week before the race and wasn’t fully over it. I don’t do well in the heat and conditions were tough this year. But ultimately what it comes down to is this. I thought I was capable of a sub 11 hrs Lakeland 50. The Spartan Army pre-race start. Standing right at the front (over on the right) with the quick boys. I started feeling better once over the top but eased back into the runn...

http://runningontrail.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Steve Mee's long distance adventures. Saturday, 23 February 2013. EnduranceLife CTS South Devon Ultra. It's not a race. You're not in racing shape so just treat this as a long, hilly training run. The goal is simply to enjoy the day, make it to the finish and collect 1 UTMB qualification point. That was the plan and it was one I was comfortable with.until about a week before the race when the devil on my shoulder started whispering. "Why not go out hard? What's the worst thing that can happen? It turns o...
