Lyrics no.
Wabo, sad day for you!

Not up to parkrun post ultra but a 5 mile lochside run went well, slow due to a lot of deep puddles, tree routes and re routing due to flooding. Then met up with aforesaid group which was nice. They laughed at me doing my extra .09 mile tort 5 miles though. Not time to go right round derwentwater but will do it another day I hope. Likely a small hill post lunch but don't want to drive as v busy today.

Lyrics: no

What: 10 mile commute to parkrun
Why: combining the weekly long run with Parkrun (volunteering today, not running) seemed like it would be a sensible approach to fitting training into the week. It was.

Last hard: last long run. Or today.
Last rest: yesterday

Afternoon

Good to see a thread meet-up! I have so far met @ElspethF and Elspeth (are you planning another trip to Switzerland some time?)

What are you racing tomorrow @Velociraptor . I think I would save the session you are procrastinating over till after the race - I mean what is another day...

Did you do your parkrun @lin50 ?

I can't recall seeing any arse typed features in the region @Derby Tup

Sad @Wabo.

@alehouse : no cricket today?

@ElspethF : nice sounding run - I would have done the .09 as well.

Good approach to the long run @Slowboy .

Making good use of the beaches @riggys99

@tinebeest : sounds like we could go for a bike trundle together. I'm too slow for most cyclists (running is my sport, cycling is recovery or looking at things)

What: 10k recovery including a few strides, cycle there and back (just a few miles)
Why: race tomorrow, a hilly beast (14.3k, 10xxm ascent)
Last rest: 23.08.24

Lyrics: no

I'm racing a flat 10k in another country, @HazelnutCH :) It's more for fun than for a time.

@HazelnutCH yes I persuaded myself to go out and do parkrun. Just about to do a short yoga practice too.

Rounded off day with a walk up Bleaberry Fell. Weather improved and we were were rewarded with 360⁰ view - all the Lake District 3000s and across the Solent to Galloway Hills.
