Haha yes. No chance of ultra. Even Hal Higdon's novice half marathon training plan is well beyond me just now. Will be happy if I could run our cub's XC fixture on the 28th Jan, and maybe the last fixture week after. See if there is any improvement. Only about 5 miles, but I struggle with hills and mud even when at my best.

I can't comment really as I stick to road running and rarely run off road, if I do venture off road it's dry routes only and never in winter.

I went back to the track for the first time since September when I ran a 6:41 mile, 4 seconds outside my PB from February 6:37. I didn't expect much, would have been happy to get 6:45. I surprised myself with a new PB in 6:36. I'm really delighted with this! I felt that my legs could have gone a bit faster but my lungs were at maximum. I need slightly warmer temperatures to be able to run faster. Breathing gets harder once we're below 5°C. |

An excellent result considering the winter conditions tipsku. Potentially more to come in the spring.

Well done tipsku! I was going to have a go last night but I started running and just did an easy run instead. Think it was wise. |
