I see us women are very much in the minority on this 2000 effort! Only five of us out of 81!

I'm back from my hols in West wales - what a thoroughly nice place to run in, much better than Cornwall, occasional hills and less traffic and very polite traffic. I must admit the people I know who do the most miles of all in our club are predominantly women, the talented men are lightweights in the mileage stuff barring our best runner but he is close to elite. It's quite a quiet thread, as the 1500 one is a very busy and friendly onen (hopefully we are a friendly one too - just less busy - too busy running  ) . I never started off with the aim of running 2000 miles over the last few years but it has just sort of happened each year!

Those tests on my kidneys, liver and bladder were ok but now I have to have a cystoscopy in two weeks time. Ugh..I'd rather run 100 miles! Hopefully that will show as all ok too and I can relax towards the Hope24. West Wales is wonderful Chrisull and much nicer than here in South Wales for traffic free running when you live in a city!

So we have 82 in the group now and 36 are over target so far this year http://www.fetcheveryone.com/training-mileagetargets-filtered.php?category=RUN&mileage=2000 I've managed to edge ahead by a weeks worth of mileage or so which gives me a nice guard band. I'm ramping down the mileage a bit for Shinfield 10K and then Bracknell half as I want to give them both a best effort. How's everybody else doing?

Well my mileage will be dropping off now as it's taper time yay! But as I'm 175 over I'm not too worried. April should be my lightest mileage month but even that should be enough to keep me on track.

I did the grand total of 10.2miles last week, but it felt great to have a few days off post-marathon. I may even stretch it out to 20mpw this week I see Windsor Wool needs less than a mile to get past half way already Well done all.

Yep make sure you manage your recovery carefully as received wisdom has it the "reverse taper" is as important as the taper.

Cheers. I've decided to do a proper taper next week so it'll be my first week under mileage for some time, I'll probably do 35km instead of 62km which is the target. Luckily I'm 70km or so ahead of target. I just hope the taper helps! I'm going to go hard at parkrun tomorrow to see what shape I'm in for my sub 40 attempt at Shinfield 10K
