Brilliant Gymfreak. You're really getting that fitness back.
My next challenge is to get round Dartmoor Discovery on Saturday and make the cut offs, 5:15 at marathon point. Tough for me as it's very hilly and 3,300 feet to marathon point. I did manage it 2 years ago but I had to run hard and did end up doing a tiny PB for the event, my 11th time I've done this race. Getting older it's even more of a challenge, but I'll give it my best shot. I need to run at 60% WAVA to make the cut offs

Well done Shades, LD and GF. Smashing the +60%.
Calculating my next 60% WAVA and Banbury 5 next Tuesday. It's an easier course than the previous two rounds Friday 5 and Rugby 6 so should be able to fall over the 60% line.

Tonight sees me attempt the Banbury 5 and round 3 of the EMGP.
Hoping for 61% but see how it goes and recovery from Sunday's hot and humid run.

Good luck WW!
Shades how did you get on?!
I might possibly have a number for a 10k tomorrow, just waiting to find out if I’ve managed to get it at the mo. I haven’t managed 60 post baby yet for 10k so would like another go as it’s an undulating course but reasonably quick!

Gymfreak - I failed. I have to be in top form to make the cut offs and it just didn't happen. I knew when I got to 17 miles that I wouldn't make the marathon cut off so I carried onto the 20 mile point and then got on the bus back to HQ. But I made the most of the day, weather was lovely and the moors looked amazing, tiny foals just born, lush in the wooded valleys. Had a good banter with the other runners on the bus, there were a lot this year that didn't make the cut offs. So I enjoyed the day, I will try again next year.
Normally, for me to be at my best, I have to crank up the mileage, I tried a different way this year, lower mileage. I did have a couple of good races but I was inconsistent. So back to the high mileage again, I know it works for me.

Ah good effort though Shades, it’s such a hard race! At least you still got an beautiful run in, and that you know what works for you.
I’m still only on 3 runs a week at the moment, I would like to up it to 4 at some point with 3 rides on the other days. I can’t train twice a day any more so it’s become a new way of life trying to do both things while only doing one thing a day whereas before I could just do both every day!
