57.5 Degrees of Pain
Did you sort the tooth Lee?

I think taper madness is taking control...

Hope you can shake it off quickly 57.5 - sore throat and swollen glands here (not unusual though for me) and RHR up just a little but time for me to get over it yet though continued soakings probably aren't helping - fed up of this rain. What sort of dog is Belle? I miss being able to run with mine (she's too old now).

I think you'll be there Fordy! When do you travel?

A kind offer Brunski. Are you feeling 100% again now?

Don't worry about speed Chris, use the running time to process and relax as much as you can.

My mentee is getting (understandably) nervous about Boston which seems to be rubbing off on me a bit - strange as I don't usually worry too much until a day or two before.

Not 100% LMH, I'd say I'm still hovering around the 80-85% mark. I felt fine after dinner at 6pm, then by 9pm I'm snuffling amd spluttering. Thankfully the cough part seems to be easing and that was my main worry, I can deal with a cold :-)

I'm looking forward to the marathon season starting and seeing people's hard work paying off.

Do you mind me asking what your mentee's goals are LMH?

LMH - I fly to Amsterdam early Saturday morning then jump on the train to Rotterdam from there. Managed 3 miles in the rain this morning. Today will see me doing a lot more stretching/foam rolling so fingers crossed.

The lurgy has struck, although the timing is probably pretty good being 3 weeks out.

Not quite sure whats up, felt a bit shivery as I was leaving work last night and it probably didn't help sitting at the football in the cold for 90+ mins. Didn't sleep well and awoke still not right with the HR almost 20 beats above normal !

In a bit of a quandary on how to get to work as today was planned to be a double day and my bike was left at work. Decided on a short 4 mile run and that along with a couple of flu tablets and I don't feel too bad tonight. The HR oddly was in normal range while running.The planned session after work tonight though is likely to be canned and if I get worse will cycle home rather than run.

Sorry to hear that Bazo. Hopefully it'll disappear quickly.

Did 5x600m last night. Felt great, and was consciously holding myself back.

Take it easy Baz!

Sounds like a long journey Fordy - lots of stretching on the way.

Brunski - he should be able to debut at the marathon with a GFA (sub 3.20).

That'd be a cracking debut (at that age given the 3:20 GFA target)!

Baz, get well soon! I was also kind of relieved to get the lurg 3 weeks out, rather than sooner, but will feel better if/when I can get in an effort session. Not attempting one before weekend!
