Ian - yes. A very good week's training from you.
WP - definitely a nightmare of a dream. I think you can be reassured that it won't come true 😏
I'm planning a 50 mile week next week 😬 don't think I'll find it that easy.

WP - I'm hoping it won't be too hard, I've done 45 this week.
Yes, 8 miles for 5 days and a 10 miler on Sunday. No long runs for me. 😁

How are you feeling on 45 miles?
Hopefully it will feel okay especially with no long runs

WP - I'm OK, but my back is sore today.
I did a Caroline Girvan session yesterday not realising it was lots of plank type work. I'm particularly poor at doing planks since hurting my back.
I did what I could of the session and my back was OK but I'm paying for it today. I expect it'll take a few days to settle down so the next couple of days running might be difficult.
I won't be doing that session again 😭

WP-I always do the majority of my runs after work,I generally prefer that,but with my rota this week I'll have to do a couple before.
Shades-Good luck on the 50,I'm aiming for 55ish.
8 weeks of training left,so diet is starting tomorrow,aim to lose at least 7lbs.

Ian - good luck with the weight loss plan. You have plenty time to drop 7 pounds.
No run for me today, back is niggling and I think I'm better taking a rest day today rather than aggravate it more. So will be a step back week for me, but that's not so bad really. Last week's 45 miles and the last time I managed that was a year ago. Hopefully I will hit the 50mpw next week.
Amazing stage at TdeF yesterday.

Sorry to hear about your back, Shades. Your 50 mile week can wait for another week.
Went out for 7 today. Started raining at my turnaround point but other than that it was fine.

Shades: That is a shame about workout causing you issues with back.As BG said that 50 mile week can wait till next week.
Nice running BG
Ian Good luck with weight loss it seems chaps can drop weight quicker than us females.
I had hoped to see another drop in RHR but it has gone up so +9 I slept badly over heating-so another no running day.
I checked race results and so annoying I would have won my age group one to target for next year.

Big G - as you say 50 miles can wait another week.
Heavy rain here now.
WP - sorry to hear you're still poorly.
Next year, that's a very good target for you to win your age group at that 10k.
