Daz Love Aug 2017 8:38pm, 12 Aug 2017 691 posts	Quote Pin Daz Love WW - with your ankle twists I actually would advise you not to bother. Trails with stones in and very uneven. Lots of twists, up and downs with tight turns, over little wooden bridges in places. As said lovely course but not quick and I would say a real risk of turning ankles.

Windsor Wool Aug 2017 9:21pm, 12 Aug 2017 3,083 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool Yeah - just put them up Gus, been a busy day. Was so spritely this morning - tempted to try the shoes for tomorrow's MP session but will be sensible as I do normally run in something with some structure. Daz - thanks. Will head that advice I think. Much appreciated.
Huntsman Aug 2017 10:02am, 13 Aug 2017 5,526 posts	Quote Pin Huntsman WW - I'm missing something here. All I see is a 7 mile run at 7:20 pace?
Daz Love Aug 2017 10:12am, 13 Aug 2017 692 posts	Quote Pin Daz Love Hunts - It would have been 8:20 pace without the trainers 😛😛

Nice to see some familiar FE faces there. RFJ running faster than promised must be a good thing. It's surely also the only time I'll ever over-take Gobi. Sure, he was pacing someone but I'll take it! All in Tempo Boosts too so no cheating....

larkim Aug 2017 10:21am, 14 Aug 2017 2,506 posts	Quote Pin larkim So, back at home without the disruption of holiday (!), so back on the miles. Last week's log looks a little poor for running, as indeed it was - just managed the one MLR, but sandwiched that between some hilly cycling (more than in the log actually) as we had a 6 seater car for the 7 holiday makers, and North Devon is quite hilly! Plus plenty of running around on beaches, traipsing around tourist spots etc. Surprised when I got in last night that weight hadn't gone through the roof, despite getting through 3 bottles of wine in 7 days and not turning down an extra sausage roll at any point during the hols. Anyway, I postponed the Sunday LR to tonight (:eek:) so 17 miles after work this evening should be "fun".
