It has been rumoured that there is still some training going on even in the depths of winter. Mr Green has been seen running the highways and byways of Hampshire. Lifelyne has been out competing on the world stage, smashing Guinness records. Despite needing his boat to achieve the quickest human being to circumnavigate Anglesey, he continues to display an impressive competitive streak. And then there’s Robin. As most of you know he has simply maintained an elite level of  super-fitness without really training. It is in the DNA it seems – hard wired. And then there is me…Longden. I have been able to increase my body mass in order to speed up the training. After all carrying around these extra Kilo’s is not easy.

So the stage is set for another year of trail running madness as Team Hoof Hearted takes to the mountains once again. Watch this space!
