The Bogman Jan 2014 3:57pm, 28 Jan 2014 121 posts	Quote Pin The Bogman that's an even better tip DT. I have converted my wife to running and she has supported me (sometimes reluctantly) on some of my longer runs but now she is more interested in her own training plans and races...and she refuses to go beyond 13 miles.

HappyG(rrr) Jan 2014 10:55pm, 28 Jan 2014 21,727 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) Oops, thought I was on the 1500 thread. 4.6 miles isn't going to excite anyone on an ultra training thread. embarrassed icon - oh, there isn't one! It's a cut back week, fgs. Even ultra plans have those! Back to 12 + 24 mile back to backs next week, honest! :-)G
