WP - lol at running past Lidl's several times to make up your distance.

Don't panic, 16 weeks to Great Welsh. 🙃

Phew! because Dewi is in my bedroom I can't access my desk.But hoping his crate will be in hallway middle of week.But he feels safer here and can see me so may end up longer here.He is very nervous of load unexpected noises.

When is Great Welsh?

7 miles this morning. Very slow and HR high, but I did enjoy the run. Bumped into an old school friend - I didn’t see her initially as the sun was in my eyes, and then she said ‘it’s your birthday soon…’ as she was born 3 days after me.

16 weeks - it soon comes around!!

One of my favourite running routes closed until wall repaired. Unlikely I'll be able to get past on foot as there are no houses on this stretch of road and last time it was closed I couldn't even squeeze through the barriers. The water on the right hand side is flooded fields, they flood often.

Big G - don't know if you receive Hoka's emails but Mach shoes reduced in BF sales.

Yes, I get their emails. I was hoping for Speedgoats to be in the BF sale as well, for off-road stuff. They’ve had some but reduced for a while, but not in my size.

Big G-When you dealt with Garmin over your watch did you need proof of purchase or anything? OH's watch is dying and she's only had it 18m-2y but she can't remember where she bought it from.

Ian, no I didn’t need proof of purchase. They asked for the serial number and that was it, and I sorted it via online chat. For me they did start going down the usual diagnostics (turn it off and back on again, plug into a PC, etc etc) but I told them that wasn’t possible, and then they just offered a replacement.

Shades, I’ve not looked there but I’ll have a look a bit later.

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades
Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon.

Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
