Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Think you just get a stamp at each distillery Lem and you collect miniatures at the end.

😀 I saw the URL and thought it was something to do with a drama. I didn't think whiskey (or is it whisky, I can never remember).

I suppose if there were samples en route, people would be falling in the river!

Trying to decide what running to do this week.

My aim for Saturday's event is to exceed my current furthest distance (which would be 17.5 miles if I complete 4 laps), the time is not important.

I last ran on Wednesday before I got the lurgy, I feel ok today but in today's circuits class I felt like I hadn't exercised for 6 months! I have the option of 2 group runs this week - some sort of speed session tomorrow and a 5-6 mile run at whatever pace I want to do.

Should I do one or both or neither, or something different?

If it were me I would be tapering. I've asked Mr Lemon here and he said at this stage you are not going to gain any fitness this week, so we think just an easy 2-3 miles once or twice this week at a very easy pace. A speed session won't gain you anything now and could risk injury, and a 5 or 6 miler sounds too long. That's just us though, be guided by how you feel and its good to know you are over the lurgy. You'll be in good hands with Traviss and Rachel though, they'll be encouraging you all the way! :-)

Frag, take heed of your name! :) I ran yesterday for the first time after 13 days of no running. It was good, so I should just have a little leg loosener a couple of days before your race and spend the rest of the time letting your body recover.

I should have been in bed by now, I hope to get a couple of hours sleep then I'm off to the white stuff tomorrow on the 3.30 a.m. bus. :-o

See you on the other side. :)

You are probably both right. :) I've got so used to squeezing in as much mileage as I can, chasing a whole-year target, that it's hard to mentally take my foot off the pedal. I shall make do with a yoga class and a slow plod round the block this week. Thanks!
