Hi
A few folk have asked if we could start to train up for a half-marathon next spring – and why not?
But in the spirit of APEx and not just appealing to a few folk… we could use Friday sessions to prepare for a weekend in spring – where some folk could do the Liverpool half marathon whilst others trained for the first seaside run 5k (or a 10k?).
