Shades 5 Aug 5:44am, 5 Aug 2024 3,431 posts	0 Shades 😭😭 I've just tested positive for Covid 😭😭 I don't feel too bad but had a dull headache along with usual cold type symptoms yesterday. I never get headaches so not a good sign for me. Did test when I got up this morning.

Shades 5 Aug 7:28am, 5 Aug 2024 3,435 posts	0 Shades WP - so annoying. First time I've contracted Covid. Just cancelled my IOM hotel 😭
Welshpoppy 5 Aug 7:43am, 5 Aug 2024 4,289 posts	0 Welshpoppy I am really gutted for you.You have been lucky so far but what awful timing. I bet that was upsetting.
Big_G 5 Aug 7:49am, 5 Aug 2024 3,828 posts	0 Big_G Oh no, Shades. Really sorry to hear that! And you were so looking forward to the marathon trip. Awful timing
Shades 5 Aug 8:04am, 5 Aug 2024 3,438 posts	0 Shades WP - I'm not that upset now, but I expect that's because I don't feel great. When I'm better I'll probably be really cross. At least I'll only lose flight and race entry costs this time. It's Easyjet, don't think you can reschedule flights, I haven't checked. Haven't told my friend that I was due to meet up with yet.

Big_G 5 Aug 9:40am, 5 Aug 2024 3,829 posts	0 Big_G My run was terrible as well Ian. Just sweating a lot, having to walk to get HR in the zone. Strange how it goes sometimes, as Saturday’s was great in comparison.

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.
