Good news the RHR is back down in normal range Shades.

10.5 miles for me today. Humid again but I did enjoy it out there this morning. Depending on how the day goes I may do a session on Zwift later and it’s a rest day from running tomorrow.

Big G - up to double figures for distance, you're doing well.

I haven't been outside yet, it does feel humid but there's a lovely breeze coming through the windows now.

Cal, have you seen the new Nike Pegasus Plus? They look pretty good. Zoom X foam, no plate, but with the flyknit upper.

Here they are, designed to be as close to carbon plated but designed for training

Big G-Good miles there.
Rubbish run this morning so stopped,will try again later.
Does anyone use the beats per mile metric on the training,not heard of it before,guess it means the lower bpm the better? Wondering how accurate it is v usual HR monitoring.

Ian, I think Steve Way (Marigold on here) used to use it. I believe he mentioned it on a podcast at some point. When I was fit I did track it along with HR, but more as a curiosity than anything.

Ian - I don't think these early morning runs are for you. Stay in bed a bit later and run in the afternoon/evening.

WP - so good you're back running happily again.

Shades-I have said plenty of times I don't like morning runs so I agree there with the extra bed.Main problem was I wanted to do a bit faster and when I couldn't I gave up.
Anyway got out for nearly 7 this afternoon to bring up 10 for the day.

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.
