Well there are plenty of races out there to keep you motivated and as usual we have a collection of great reviews of all distances including the Les Witton 10-miler. Unfortunately it was the final Les Witton for Dartford Road Runners who have organised this for the last few years. It's been a fantastic event and so well organised despite the worst of Britain's weather.
So don't let the dark nights and cold weather put you off - there's bound to be a PB just around the corner. Cast aside the shorts and squeeze into the running tights, grab your headlamp, clip on your flashing light and zip up the hi-viz. Double check someone at home knows where you are going and when you are due back. If you are running a marathon next year you can take the pressure off your time and just get some long relaxed runs under your belt. There's only a few weeks left until the end of 2014, so let's finish it feeling accomplished!
