StringSideUp Aug 2007 11:48pm, 14 Aug 2007 471 posts	Quote Pin StringSideUp While not wishing to agree with that, I may well come and spectate at the GSR too. Possibly not fit to run it myself after BH so didn't sign up this year.
StringSideUp Aug 2007 1:38pm, 27 Aug 2007 489 posts	Quote Pin StringSideUp Hey, how's everyone's training going? Two months now! I'm behind. A bit worried. Have a touch of plantar fasciitis--tho minor, it seems--and am having to be sensible. But it's hard to "reduce mileage" as advised while building up for a mara! Yesterday thought I'd try one of my usual hilly off-road 6 milers, v slowly, and see how the feet felt later. But it was so nice out that I couldn't help carrying on and did 11.5 BUT with lots of walking breaks to keep it easy. Seem to have gotten away with it--everything feels fine today. Now I'm curious about the relative training value of the two options. It was enough time on feet to make quads nice and tired, but of course not so good a CV workout as a steady run. Advice?

Lyra OK Aug 2007 2:11pm, 27 Aug 2007 1,779 posts	Quote Pin Lyra OK Erm... yeah - I've been training very intensively. Up at six every morning and out-running the hares. Have thrown in a few back to back 20's and I'm confident of getting sub 3:30 without so much as sweating. Oh, all right, I've done precisely bugger all in August (apart from running back from the chip shop once). Sore foot (dunno what the problem was, but felt nasty) accounts for a couple of missed weeks. Lyra Junior being on summer hols has scuppered lunchtime training, so that's been a bit poo. Just been very difficult to fit in, but hoping to resume training this week. Can't tell you how much I'm missing my running now. Sorry to hear about your foot problems SSU. Hope it won't hold you back in your training too much.
