Excellent running LD - and :-o to the numbers!

My train is being a pain. We were supposed to be in Liverpool Street eight minutes ago but we sat outside Stratford for ages.
When get there I have to get Liverpool St - King's Cross - Euston - Lancaster - Windermere. Somehow I doubt I will make Euston for 2:30 :(

The 34th finisher at our parkrun (Greenwich) today had the honour of being the 50,000th finisher. I thought I'd planned it right (including a dip for the finish!) but ended up 32nd! We did have a good laugh though. In all the excitement I even forgot to stop my watch.

Now if only I could find my Garmin charging cable I could get enough juice into the watch to download the run...

I went for a run round the block.

First run since NDW100. Nice and easy with a focus on good form.

The Berlin Marathon website recommends a 180 minute longest training run for those aiming for 4-6 hours on race-day. Clearly, they must believe the 'diminishing returns if too long on feet' argument. Interesting

I've dipped massively at 18 miles each time Tim so I reckon longer runs are worthwhile. Also I'm enjoying them now I've really slowed down. I'll let you know in sept whether it's made any difference!

My DOMS has calmed down considerably today so I took myself out for a little walk and should be okay for tomorrow. ;-)

About This Thread

Maintained by Merrymoo
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2017 thread, everybody welcome :-)

The thread motto is:

'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles of either you or the spot you reached the target or both if you want to. And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed and sometimes even some running is talked about.

Happy running :-)
