That’s a good 5k to start the campaign RFJ. Will you be doing those regularly to assess progress?
No Fleet HM Lorenzo, but from memory Amy did it a few years ago towards her 3.30 VLM build. Not sure about categories – time / age based?
Well done on ticking off the longest LSR in a while OGL. Sounds like conditions were tough.
AR – It will be interesting to see how you do ‘off piste’ as it were. You made such good progress this year you obviously are doing something right. Any reason why you are not following a plan but wll be covering the key sessions?
Nice pace over an undulating course yesterday Blisters. I think you are right, an Ultra would be the best place for Garmin Top Trumps™. I bet those 100milers would just fly by!
Scooby, it is a fine balancing act. Apparently the mind is connected to the body somehow, so lack of motivation could be as much about your body wanting more rest. With CNBA syndrome, it is hard to know whether to push on through, hoping it will pass or give in to it, have a break and come back fresher and keener. I think ideally you would find something else to do to maintain some ticking over fitness.
Well done Poacher. Just 51miles to do today to make a nice round 2200!
I am jealous SJ. I’ll do an IM one day. What is your focus for each 10wk block and what will be you max weekly hour budget?
Tell us more about those Frisky cows Minni!
Very impressive annual mileage there Speedy. No wonder you have continued to improve this year.
Sound like delightful in-laws Ant. I hope you bang a few cupboard doors on your return.
That sounds pretty hardcore OO. Looking forward to a detailed report tomorrow after you have recovered from Frost-bite!
You’ve done well to get your mileage up to respectable levels quickly SBD. Speed doesn’t matter at this point, but keep on building that base. Are you stretching / coring as well, or just taking a more cautious approach this time?
Very impressive run there Moof. 8m @ PMP at this stage, as Fraser said last week, hints that MP might be a bit soft!
Sounds like a good running year Gul and you are in an injury free position to build over this next year. Still not considering an autumn marathon?
Good to see you are back from injury LTR, but take it easy over the next few weeks on some of those P&D sessions. Better to run them a touch slower for a couple of weeks rather than get a return of the injury.
