Header updated, removed Febs target races, and added a few as above. I'm looking at a similar event in Guernsey in June Sam, a loop every hour until no-one wants (is able?) to continue. Tricky to judge flights for that sort of thing, not to mention recovery from Hardmoors. |

Chunkwizard - I try to be fairly consistent, hitting around 50-70 miles per week during training, the big issue is the post race recovery, often takes me a few weeks before I'm ready for any kind of running, let alone back to full strength. But with only 3 or 4 big races per year (4 this year currently in the plan) that's not too bad. Oumaumau - AoBtD is only 6km per loop, so in theory the running is easy, it's just going to be mentally tough I think. Balancing how fast to run versus how long to rest each lap. Having a very fixed target, in that I am not there for the win, just to get enough laps to count for the grand slam, will hopefully make that easier. |

Thanks oumaumau. Currently +13% but nursing a swollen stiff knee, praying it improves before Saturday's SDW50!

Target race for me now Shakespeare marathon Apr 28th, target sub 3.20. Good last 3 weeks of 50+ mileage, now very fatigued, so this will be a cut back week, before going at it again for another week, and then into the taper. |

Sounds nasty StuH, hope it responds to a bit of POLICE (Protection, Optimum Loading, Ice, Compression, Elevation) more here : running-physio.com SDW can be tough on the knees, plenty of up and down - interestingly I suffered my worst injury there a few years ago, tore a calf in the first two miles leading to an 'interesting' walk/hobble back down the long hill and drive home. Worth keeping your car keys with you just in case... |

Thanks for the link oumaumau, been doing most of that. Although I think maybe 17 miles on Saturday was pushing the limit of "optimal loading". My wife will be supporting me, so will be able to taxi me if necessary. |

Thanks for the work on the thread oumaumau. I'm miles ahead at the moment, but marathon training in finished (target 2:55 at this Sunday's Manchester marathon). My milegage is then set to plummet - I'm expecting about 100miles for this month tops. |
