@TippTop mostly luck to be fair, moving out of the South East helped a lot too. Might run out of money eventually and we do live a very simple life, but it was more important to us to have time than money. Interesting thoughts on morning sessions re SQ. I do all my running fasted or low carb and as I don't eat much potatoes/rice/pasta etc. Once you are used to burning fat as a fuel it's not really noticeable the difference between morning or evening efforts, for me anyway. Although I prefer evening so I can run in the morning as well and be looser for the evening run. |

Getting out of the South East would indeed go a long way on that front @Curly45! You are of course correct. The body is adaptable. Like you I mainly used to run fasted (and have tried keto and low-carb), and always race fasted, and my body adapted over time. In the beginning I had some mornings where I'd be slower than marathon pace for 10k effort, but eventually the difference was no more than a few seconds per mile. |

I'm still about @stevieg. I had a work trip to the US last week. The meeting was in Austin, Texas, but I stopped over in Nashville on the way out to watch an NFL game. My body never adjusted to the time change: when it is dark at 4pm and you can eat dinner at 4:30 and go to bed at 6pm then you wake up at 2am and there are no hints anything is wrong. I ran a few times in the pitch black and only scared myself on the last day when I ran in daylight and saw what I had been running over unseen. This is my current Conquersize grid: I need one square top left and one bottom right to get a grid size 3 (really a 7x7 grid) and close to having a grid size 4 (9x9). |

that's nice PMJ! Anyway, you didn't get this kind of service on FW, did you?! It's partially because of his short username, but also because it's a very common pair of letters - 'tr' appears in a lot of other nicknames. The current system sorts the options based on the number of hits - so as a relatively new user, he's a bit of a way down the pecking order. I think I can make some tweaks to improve that. But it'll have to wait until tomorrow, as it's my turn to cook tea

I remember one RW poster, no doubt enjoying a post booze up late night post, posted about how i'd not "understand" the majesty of what he was posting because I "wasn't enough of a man". He tried to edit it later, but I'd seen it But then I also remember the early days of the thread when we had a little Northern bastads v us heroic southerners split involving a poster called "Chingo" and I was probably pleased to have the chance of an edit myself

On with the sessions then, 7x0.5m off 90secs today then. Freezing cold stuff, base layer and top over it job, came close to gloves too, but didn't in the end (although after rep 2 could barely feel my hands at all). Average paces (rather than splits) 5.27x2, 5.39x 5.42, 5.43, 5.44, 5.47 Even with the outlier 5.47, those average at 5.41x, which with a best 5k race pace in the summer of 5.40 feels decent enough out on mixed road loops, in this cold etc. Plus 3.5miles worth of reps at that too. While the Friday track is quite nice at times, you can't beat having your hard sesh done early doors at times too. |

I go gloves before base layer, but that's just being old 😂 Nice paces. Good to see 5k paces becoming session paces. Rest day for me. 10 miler long run tomorrow, 1.5m downhill at 12%, flat out and back on the canal, then 1.5m uphill at 12% to finish off. That's the flatest long run we have around here. |
