Brunski Apr 2018 9:05pm, 28 Apr 2018 999 posts	0 Brunski Yeah you're probably right cheers Baz, part of me wants to believe I was a little conservative though, just so as I can keep kidding myself I have a 2:50 in me when I get more favourable conditions 😂

Chris Apr 2018 9:23pm, 28 Apr 2018 995 posts	0 Chris I’m sure your legs would feel differently if you tried a 20 mile effort tomorrow! Always good to get some confidence back after a tough race though, onwards and upwards brunski!

Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 6:29am, 29 Apr 2018 769 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Having read your blog I don't think you have much to berate yourself for Brunski.
Brunski Apr 2018 8:26pm, 29 Apr 2018 1,001 posts	0 Brunski Thanks all, I still feel like I'm in decent nick so going to enjoy the shorter stuff for a bit whilst keeping more of the easier running that helped get me in better shape.
Chris Apr 2018 10:25pm, 29 Apr 2018 996 posts	0 Chris Looks like I’ll be joining the same plan brunski. Life looks like it’s going to get in the way of an Edinburgh Marathon attempt so it’s shorter stuff from now until training for London starts in December. Only 8 months to go!
jdarun Apr 2018 10:33pm, 29 Apr 2018 2,811 posts	0 jdarun Already got a parkrun PB here too, looking forward to a bit of fun over the summer
Little Miss Happy Apr 2018 6:00am, 30 Apr 2018 770 posts	0 Little Miss Happy I thought of sticking to shorter stuff and trying to lower my 10k and HM PBs as mine are set during marathon training but I just love the longer stuff. I think I'm basically lazy - or a coward, the shorter stuff takes too much effort and hurts too much!
paul0 Apr 2018 10:41am, 30 Apr 2018 138 posts	0 paul0 First gentle run on Saturday and just some more gentle stuff since then. Normally, I wouldn't be thinking about a next marathon right now, but I feel like I have some unfinished business. I don't have an opportunity this Spring, so I'm thinking late Autumn (Florence?) or next Spring (Manchester - as I will lose my London FGFA qualifying time).
