Wardi - more double digits, nice one. I was wrapped up, we've had gruesome easterly wind chill. I was next to the sea with the wind from the east coming off the sea right next to me, but to be fair I'm more focussed on the hammy/run than the weather......I don't really watch the forecast, just assess things when i take the dog out for an early toddle.......it's tough love in our house, if i was to mention the weather, the response would be something along the lines of its your choice to run.

Wardi, good miles, not a bad decision to miss parkrun for sure. Looks like we have 2-3 days more then the temps suddenly move to shorts and t shirt level 13c. Just as I'm finishing up!
Lmh, yes, it's been a bit of a grind since December. I can't remember such a consistent period of cold Sundays.
Tr,equally tough love here, "don't go out today then, no one is making you" is a standard response.
Hopefully it's is just some extreme post cold gunk, it was only a week ago the cold came on so it's not like I've been suffering a long time. Hit 10'5 today, lightest I've been since the week before Newport last April. Though as I'm home alone until tomorrownight, just had a chippy.

Evening
I get what you’re saying about missing running LMH. I was the same in December.
Nice parkrun DT hopefully your getting the right side of your lurgy
Wardi good miles. When I was driving home from work this morning I was glad not to be park running
TR well done on getting the 13 done in those conditions. Tough love here as well and if I complain about doing something outside in the cold I get told wouldn’t stop you from running 😁 (which is true)
Hope the relay went well OO61
11 miles today with a 3 loops ,2 loops,1 loop Kenyan hills session up on a gravel path then down on pavement. Each loop approx 1/3 mile. Aimed for z3 HR on the sets with recovery between each set to z1 HR. Nice session that felt good
3 hr ish run planned for Sunday

Hope the run went well, Riggsy?
Tr, crazy/unbelievable times! 48s off a wr set in Valencia in October is at best questionable.
18m went well enough, just plodded it out and got progressively colder. 62m for week.

Lmh, a bit better I think thanks. There's been less nose blowing today and it's been a bit less green.
Something hasn't been right though, my fitbit RHR stat has risen by 1 everyday since Tuesday from 45 to 51 today. I was shattered yesterday as well, fell solidly asleep on sofa for about 75 mins at 5pm then went to bed at 10 and slept 8.5 hours.

Keep an eye on that DT19. No point in pushing through to keep to your plan if it's going to end up with you being ill. Are you able to discuss it with your coach?

TR.. I tend to be careful with very cold conditions due to my Raynauds. I can usually manage it ok though my hands/fingers have been permanently swollen recently. There hasn't been any break in the cold for a while so I'm looking forward to mid week onwards.
Barca is a fast HM course, I think they might have tweaked it like they did with the marathon course last year. Kiplimo has run 26.33 for 10,000m so his half time didn't entirely surprise me.
DT19.. good effort grinding out the 18m, the hay is now in the barn as they say! 62m is a decent total for your last big week.
Riggys.. good session yesterday, hope today's long run went well.
LMH.. I wouldn't say no to doing London again though I do think it's got too big in the last 6-7 years. I've noticed that some of the fast crew in my club are choosing other marathons recently - there's 6 of them going to Berlin this year.
4m + 4.5m double today, a 65m week again.
