Training Calendar

So, I have been giving this some thought and broadly the way I would like the year to pan out is as follows:

Summer - do a 10k

Autumn - half marathon

Winter - step up to marathon distance

Spring 2012 - London Marathon

However, a couple of the runs I know only have charity places, which I am not too keen on (e.g. the Great North Run, Bristol half). The only charity run I want to do is the big one (and that is only if I don't get a ballot place).

So - let's take a look at what is out there which still has availability:
