Sounds like you’ve really inspired your pal, @stevieg. Good work. Not a bad week at all from you with strong mileage, a session and a long run.

@Forrest Jooligan Forrest Jooligan’s Blaisdon would definitely have been my first choice of those races, especially with the finish at such a great pub, but a change of evening for my daughter’s gymnastics ha agreed plans. Couldn’t see how to join the wait list but will have another look.

You’ve managed that hammy very well and sounds like a very strong parkrun yesterday. Favourite venue of all time?

An easy hour in the hot sun yesterday afternoon felt surprisingly good 8M at 7:52, first half with a pal. Then 10M at 7:47 pace this morn around the racecourse. Always surprisingly tough for only 100m ascent but get pretty strong. Either I’ve recovered quite well from MMM and am in good nick, or there is something to be said for two days off in a week and only 44M total mileage.

@Sorequads

No session this week, but a 59mile week while seeing off a tightness can't be sniffed at.
Will hope my pal stays at it steadily. I think he will this time as for a few reasons he's hit a time where he knows it's now or never.

You'll no doubt feel the benefit from a lighter week. Its a conundrum isn't it. Will lesser mileage / more rest days bring greater fruits?
I suppose we all think what we do is optimal when really it's what we like to do / part of the routine.

Afternoon all - decent run Sat @Forrest Jooligan Sounds like niggle ok @stevieg

Thurs - 8 x 800 over the road on the tarmac track with LBAC, really windy and bit tired after Watford, but managed to get them down from 2.42 to 2.30 odd for the last couple.

Sat - Wrest Pk again on the bus, glorious day (posted a picture on Facebook). Lucky me, 8 x 800 again ;) off 90. Happy to be quicker than last week, 2.38, down to 2.28 - slightly less windy than last week.

13.5 yesterday, glad it wasn't too sunny. 5 this morning and will do some 200's this evening.

Well, hello everyone - I've found you in your new home!

Several years of comments to catch up, and not much running going on for me currently, but will try not to be a stranger and opo in from time to time :-)

Great to see you back Bus.
Most missed poster.

Also nice to see you SC of course

Today's runs felt noticeably looser, especially the 2nd one.

SG - that sounds so ‘pro’!!

Bus - as someone who’s permanently broken, I’m really interested to hear about what it is you’re fighting / what you’ve been told by the experts.

:-) Which bit @Windsor Wool

The sensible ease off from a tightness, or the cut and paste musing on life's foibles.
Or the welcome back to Bus

Ahh, I certainly enjoyed that It didn't need 20metres of shuffling to warm into it, where i was hoping no-one would see me and wonder who this clown is.

On that note yesterday was the 2 year anniversary (fb told me) of the comedy of running past some kid in a buggy who pointed at me and shouted "silly man" to his dad.
Still chuckle at that one

About This Thread

Maintained by stevieg
Hi there - this thread started in 2010 over on RW and started as an improvement thread for myself under Moraghan's coaching, through to more of a general collaboration tool and place to share training and long winded race reports.

Thanks to the fetch community for allowing us to move over, and we'd welcome loads of new contributors adding to the thread, as we were definitely running on empty with a small bunch of posters near the end!
