JT141 - hope things are not looking too bad

Surrey - impressive training

Thur 8.00pm - 14.1km (62 min) - back on the tarmac for steady run in the wind and rain - felt a bit stronger this evening - hopefully that's the cold weather done with for the winter

keep it going everyone

Boys weekend away in Rome. Managed to get up early and do a 9km run, 7am in the morning on Sunday. Best bit was to see the sun rise over the Coliseum with no one else around. Worth running through the hangover, and getting a little lost adding a few extra unplanned Km to the run.

Some serious training going on

Surrey - what P+D plan are you doing and for what mara? Some immense sessions you're doing.

I had one hell of a hard, hard run this morning. 11 miles with 7 at LT. Heartrate was elevated from the moment I set off and I had to work at a heart rate much higher than I wanted to achieve splits much slower than I wanted and still felt like I was going to keel over at any moment. Strong, cold winds and a shared bottle of wine last night probably didn't help but it was a session to forget.

On and on,

11.5 miles today for me with a couple of friends. Very rainy but that kept us at a good temperature. Great run and felt strong at the end

SR - That's intense training. I'm on the one down from that, up to 55 miles pw. Did 58 this week though as I tagged on a bit here and there. 21 mile LSR today, time for a soak!

Evening, folks! Feeling decidedly grim out there: cold wind & driving rain - wind chill tomorrow

0730 A decent 5-miler largely off road, taking in a mile of the beach and some trails over Rimrose Valley. Calf's behaving itself atm.

Run well, smile too!

Thanks people for your comments. I'm fine. A couple of snarling unwelcome days, but things are getting resolved.
And in running news 14.25miles on road and path in just under 1hr53. Cold and wet out. My right heal is still tender. Main concern was my left hamstring. It was getting very tight and I had to slow a few times to settle it down. Could have been the cold (went for shorts instead of usual winter tights), or my heal knocking my running out slightly which effected it. It was a day of wrong turns so took a few unexplored streets. Managed to find my bearings again though.

20 mile long run this morning making it it 70 for the week.

BB, am aiming to go sub 3 hours at London. Did 3.11 at MK last year in the storm - my first marathon. I have upped the training a lot this year to get under three hours.

Sun 7.00am - 90 mins steady running (19.3km)

difficult running into a bitter wind with sleet for a large part of the run - tough but fun

felt better after a sauna/steam/jacuzzi warm down

push on everyone

cold and wet in London, and have got flu again, which I'm praying won't mess up the Reading HM for me next weekend.

Struggled round a Thames loop for 18k at 5.30m/km. Off to North York Moors tomorrow for some rest and gentle walking ahead of Reading but looks like it will be seriously grim up there!

Will watch your progress with interest, Surrey. looks to me like both you and Dunky are set for big PBs

Character-building conditions all round! First run over an hour for six weeks - biting east wind on the trails & beach, then over Rimrose Valley and home. A tad pooped now! 7 miles, give or take.

Happy mum's day to any fellow MLR mums. I had an excellent day of brekkie in bed, flowers, cake, huge Chinese meal, and ran off a few of the calories with a short 3 miles back home in the snow. Then a great soak in the bath with my youngest, who's 4. Excellent day

Some good running going on here.

I pulled myself out of bed at the crack of 9am and managed 13.1miles. Pretty hard to start with as it was wet, windy and bitterly cold, but picked up a bit whilst I was out. The ankles still tweaking a bit for the first mile but settles down after that. Glad there was no repeat of the nose bleed I had when i was running last week.

Came home and made Sunday lunch for the family (shouldn't the kids be doing that?).

Morning from a snowy Erskine

4M Steady and not a bad run.

So cold this morning that i swear I saw the daffodils retreating back underground.

I had a slight sense of foreboding about the run this morning. I knew it was set to be cold and Bury had taken a battering by snarling easterlies yesterday which I wasn't liking the idea of running in. I felt the cold in the first mile or so and even with the layers, it wasn't comfortable. Once I warmed up though, the legs were light and bouncy and everything felt oiled and powerful. The sun rose in a cloudless sky and it turned into the most enjoyable run i've had in ages. We even managed a snow flurry from the cloudless skies but i'm still trying to figure if that was a mirage or not...

12m GA in the end.

Swittle - Fantastic to see you getting back

SR - that is hardcore.

SB - 58 mile is not to be sniffed at!

Good work all.

Sat - 4 miles fartlek

Sun 20 miles LSR - found it tough, legs still heavy from last Sunday. Although feel fresh this morning!
