Towpath Trawlers

I was planning on doing my first marathon later this year — in Amsterdam (nice and flat 😉). It looks unlikely to happen. Instead we are planning on doing a run from our flat in Manchester, down to Macclesfield on the local canal. It works out at exactly 26.2 miles! Perfect.

It’s one of the only things that’s been keeping me sane during the lockdown. Running down the canal has been a godsend for my mental health. We are in a flat in Ancoats with no balcony or garden etc. Being out on the canal has made it so much better. Getting out of the city and into the fresh air and green space.

Time to move on the training plan and looking into getting it streamed. Would be great to stream on insta — but looks like you can’t use any external cameras. So thinking of getting it up on YouTube for anyone to join in and follow along. Now I need to design the jerseys and medals!

More coming soon.
