It's bloody freezing out there. Three layers today and gloves. Could have done with some ear muffs. Took in a couple of laps of the racecourse. Really cold wind, sleet and snow. The shackles came off a bit out of the headwind. Further than intended at 11.6 miles. Just over 1hr28 (so about 1hr40 HM pace, I think). Not too shabby.

@Birkie- great to see you back, have missed your updates. Have you been injured?

@swittle-- on the edge of my seat... hope you haven't broken the streak??

@baldbloke-- haha re Patsy Kensit... actually I think she's pretty 'orrid.. but still, I wish!

Me- just a nice easy 4 miles through boggy Epping Forest. Bracing, wet and muddy

yep, real tension re Swittle's streak... a whole level beyond the drama over Cidlad risking his ankle in that marathon

Erm...hello there. The Streak is in tact but only just Mostly a mile or so daily since I pulled up lame last Thursday, favouring the ailing calf and wondering if it would be so bad to ditch my crazy obsession.

Massage, ice, compression bandages and a wide variety of anti-inflamms are keeping me afloat. I know I should rest & recover but it's a sizeable shedload of days to give up.

Thank you so much for your concern & kind thoughts

Tue - 9.00pm - 6km short easy woodland run with Fudge - time constraints and tired legs dictated that it was adequate for this evening

swittle - respect

Morning all,

swittle - you made 2 years so don't be hard on yourself if you do have a recovery break. Still - there's always hopping.

10 miles easy this morning - legs still abit tired but it felt good to coast along and not put too much in. 5 magpies together too - silver coming my way

Wed 7.00pm - 10.8km (51 min) - mixed pace but comfortable

felt quite good this evening - good to be out in the cold fresh air

good running everyone

Swittle- good to hear from you. And +1 to what dunkyd says, no point knackering yourself. You've achieved a lot

me- 5 mile club run. Fantastic and sociable in the freezing cold. I seem to be (tentatively) regaining some pace slowly but steadily as I continue to lose weight. Very happy

11 miles with 6 at tempo pace tonight.

Morning all,

Birky - you've had a lot of snow to deal with compared to me - hope it doesn't slow you down to much!

Nessie - good job on the weight loss - you'll be flying soon.

7 miles this morning with 5 at marathon pace. Half way round the sun was just getting over the hills - feels nice to end my morning runs in a bit of daylight now!

gentle run round Regents Park and Primose Hill for 7.5k at 5.10m/km

last outing before the Wokingham HM. however, I have gone down with a really heavy cold which better clear up before Sunday otherwise could be risky to do it.

sod's law after working towards this race all winter.

@birkmyre good to have your early morning posts back

Had my vivobarefoots on for a shorter run. I was a bit clompy at first but soon settled back into them. On roads and pavements. Not so cold today. A van reversed across the pavement just in front of me. Thank god for reverse lights, but not for the arsehole who swings his van across the pavement without looking. Anyway, 6.5miles in just under 49mins. Sped up for the last mile and half to 7min/mile pace which I'm pretty pleased with.

After a work enforced two day break, back on it this morning with 8 miles inc 10x100 strides. Felt rested and good. Perfect winter running weather, cold and dry and the dawn was breaking by 7.15 which made me very happy

Just under 10 miles this morning down the River Lea. Great / easy.
