Good to see Abingdon marathon has sold out. They've amended the time limit to 6 hours, I think🤔.
There is a waiting list as they will operate a transfer list.

Great news on Abingdon,didn't that used to sell out before Covid? Chester got a record this year with 10 weeks to go.
Achilles seems better again today so good to run,only day off this week so may be my long run,will see when I'm awake properly.

Ian - years ago, pre Chester marathon it was more or less the only 'fast' marathon in the autumn. It used to sell out in February, 8 months before race date.
Good news the achilles has settled down again.

First 10-miler for a long time today. Felt okay for most of it, but miles 9 and 10 HR was getting high, so I think I’ve found my limit for now. I could have carried on, but really not sure that’s good training for me at this stage, so I think 10ish will be my limit for the next 3 weeks or so. Foot felt fine though, so that’s good! If I can do 40ish a week this week and the next couple of weeks or so, I’ll be happy.

Big G - good running. Cardiac drift is certainly more noticeable after 8 miles or so, but you're progressing well with your increased mileage. Glad to hear the foot is behaving.
WP - no, not long. 😀 I'm all sorted just have to pull off my DVLA code and check in for flight(s).

Big G-Main thing has to be keeping that foot under control.
Went to the park today so I could decide the distance as I went,told myself I'd stop if I felt the achilles. I got to nearly 12 when I could feel the burning sensation that comes before it gets sore,so stopped then.Next week was going to be an easier week so no harm if it's this week instead.
