It sometimes looks like that davelord! I'm slowly creeping back..18.5 Vale of Glamorgan coastal run/race yesterday went wonderfully! Lots of mud after heavy overnight rain, hills, rocky paths etc! Felt good throughout, no "race" as such intended but proven to myself I can still do distance stuff!

Hope everyone is well. Feel tired after tonight’s track but pleased I’ve managed to stop the slow drift and get my average back up this month. How’s is everyone else doing?

70 miles (12.5%) in credit at the moment, feeling pretty knackered though! Last 20 miler before the taper on Sunday, looking forward to getting that done.

Comfortably ahead of run rate at the moment because of marathon training but that will all change post VLM. Planning on taking at least a few weeks off, so mileage will drop significantly.

Same as you jomo - I'm a long way ahead at the moment, but some leaner times are coming.

So it begins - the start of a lot of races. I’ve got Shinfield 10K Monday, Bracknell Half on Sunday and Binfield 10K the following Sunday. Hard to know what to do in between them! I’ve done a mini taper before Monday (reduced mileage down to 63km for the week) and then I’ll try and do the same mileage which week with the 2 races, ie no taper for Bracknell. I wonder if I can manage the same the week after? I plan to race them all hard and see what happens.

How are we all doing, especially with the post-marathon drop off? I see 21 of us are still the happy side of par.
I've just passed the halfway point which is a lovely feeling. Well done to jomo who got there some time ago. I've lost a big chunk of miles out of the 'up x miles' tab, but at only 31 per week needed from here, I feel confident.

I'm managing to keep the mileage up despite the races. Bracknell Half was hard with no taper but I think my body is adapting to the work load and I am hoping Binfield 10K will be better than Shinfield.

I've been a bit lazy post VLM - just about doing alternate days at the moment and not really much distance. Will be doing Berlin in September so will build up again over the summer - and then take a break after that.

Didn't have a marathon here, still grinding out the miles slowly. About 70 ahead of target still somehow.
