Shades: As It happens that was what i used to do with the long run every other week with ten miles on the other week.Because I know have my PT and we have found 5 miles is the best day before any more and my strength suffers. I find 8 milers easy and want to get back to more than two a week.
I just think I need time and the more I do them the better I will become at them.
I can not eat before I run as like you I am out early just not as early 7am for me and have 1/2 clif bar,Active root sports drink 170ml in gel flask and today an emergency gel on my run.I then finish the bottle I made of active root when I get back.
Not long for IOM and hope the 15 miler goes well next week! I had similar issue before Newport 7 weeks to train and had some illness as wellso not ideal preps.
Rob:Absolutely let us see next week how the snooze length develops 
TDF for me every step of the way and this year I forked out for the Guide and wall chart.I wanted one last year and could not get it as sold out.
I am sure they will let you just run and hopefully under six hours for IOM

WP - I don't eat before my mid week runs. But I do think it's very important to eat something before a longer run.
This morning I had porridge and 2 milky coffees before my run.
Midweek I just have the coffees.

There is a pro cycling thread on here which gets quite a lot of commentary. It’ll contain spoilers though.

Big G - will avoid that thread then.
I'm just watching the Women's Tour of Britain which I recorded a couple of weeks ago and omitted to watch.

Well ok ankle still hurts but been better this afternoon unti tube ride back from centre where there were a couple stop start exits from stations. Legs ache going up AND down currently but seem to recall that from G2E last year too.

I usually eat before my runs on my days off,don't usually bother after work.
I did just under 7 hilly miles today after work to bring up 42 for the week.

Keith - that's a fairly challenging day you had post ultra. But obviously you wanted to make the most of your time in London.
Ian - I think that's probably what most runners do. But it would be unlikely that you'd skipped lunch when you're doing an evening run.
5+ miles this morning. Legs feel fine but they are a little tired when running, no surprise really as my longest run for 14 months.
First seagull swoop of the year, on a quiet housing estate and they made an almighty racket when they saw me and one then did a swoop, but it was a bit half hearted, not even enough to put my HR up.

5 miles today. I had a circular route planned from this site, that included some trail but the trail section was more technical than I expected, and hence not enjoyable for me. About 1/3 of the way through the trail section I decided to abandon that and I double backed on myself for the total of 5 miles.

There must be something in the air 5 miles recovery run for me as well.
I just can not eat that early and I am fine for every other run except long run.
Seagulls in the news in Cornwall Posties are scared of them this time of year .
