You make a lot of sense Miser. I'll run, it's just that if I end up on the treadie six miles is my limit, it seems to show up/exacerbate my niggles. It's not rearranging work and running on the good weather day when I 'could' which feels wrong.

Just sorting myself out to walk the dog and realised left knee is grumbling but it's the right that's obviously swollen. I need to listen to my sensible head. So much easier to know than to do though.

I got up to 50 miles last week - just under 12 weeks to go to Boston. Hoping to up the mileage and inch mileage up to peak at 60ish at peak. I'm not sure how fit I am, seem to have decent speed just need to add the stamina and up the pace at threshold and I should dip under 3. |

Everything is creaking but working Miser. Thanks for asking. Have managed 40 miles so far this week and hoping for another 10 tomorrow and Saturday then really need to get a long run in again next week. I'm hoping the weather improves soon. It was truly pants this morning! Sounds like a good place to be Brunski. |

Afraid I'm out. I've had too much time off already and I'm still not really able to train at anything close to a decent level. Had another failed threshold session yesterday and I'm not sufficiently motivated to drag myself round the course in a PW time just to get the medal. 9 weeks this Sunday is nowhere near enough time. fetcheveryone.com/blog/60893/2024/2/479156 Maybe I'll have another go next year, or maybe I should take a longer break again. Looking forward to some low-stress jogging after this grim weather has passed over! |

Sorry to hear jdawayinamanger. My week off meant I was well rested for xc today. Long run will be kept steady tomorrow. If I stay fit the mileage will be banked ok but I think I'll be short on specific miles at mara effort / pace so sub 3 effort might have to waitfir another race. I could still impulsively set off at 6m45s mile pace on the day and see what the graphs look like afterwards as things fall apart. 😅 |

P.s. I raced ultras on whole foods, I don't think anything other than a jogged rave would allow that. What's the thread approved fueling these days, any specific gels, tailwind, huel? I need to start training long runs with carrying fuelling in the next few weeks. |
