I would do a race report on my XC on Sunday but all I can remember is "ran up a hill x 8" and "arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh".

Won't be me either, though Saturdays race was a stonker, I've never listened to a full podcast, just the occasional main interview bit.

I'm too busy running, gym or resting. Or this pesky work thing that keeps getting in the way.

Andrew, careful with the golf ball. Can be too hard.
Ice on the bony spur after any exercise is good, Physio with ultrasound & vibrating thing will help too. Buy a cold spray pref with menthol in for your kit bag if ice isnt possible. Also biofreeze from Boots is ace to get swelling down.

A very quick Guinness / vino meeting Jovi tonight for those on FB.

Love Marathon Talk. I look forward to my long runs so I can listen to it . Club friend was top of the mens podium this week

Just getting ready to go to Jersey for the weekend. The Seal bloke who lives there and offered to go swimming with me has gone off the radar which is a shame. I'd love advice about where's safe to swim, even if he can't come with me.

Sounds lovely Susan. Naked then ?

Was planning a circuit 6pm, but after she posted on FB anyone up for a run in town ended up running 12pm with Vicky who Jovi, Tutu & AH met in Lanza. Our offices are right next to each other. Could be useful.

Good weekend everyone. I'm skiving off XC. Legs still tight after the race.

I worked really super hard on my interval run yesterday evening. It was dark and raining and everything. Basey cycled with me I tried So hard to do 4 good intervals @ the right speed for a quicker 5k ie 7:30. I got back and found they were between 8 and 8:15 moop

it felt like such blimming hard work.

And windy. It was windy too...

I'm sure you made a noise like Pfstttttt or similar.

Harder running in the dark Ikle. Try another time, practice.
How long were the intervals, quarter or half miles maybe ?

Typing those top secret not for Ciceros eyes tips now.

Hi folks, sorry I have been a bit quiet, I have been in a bit of a grump of late, I lost my job about 3 weeks ago, through no fault of my own, so haven't been feeling very chatty.......
I have gotten back into running again, as it clears my mind and makes me feel a lot more positive! Been and run 7 miles this afternoon and really enjoyed it. Managed to avoid dog sh*t for the duration of my run, only received mild abuse from smoking youths. All good.... oh, nearly forgot that as I turned on to the path at the side of the river, I saw a 40 something chap, smoking a joint, playing the bongos as though his life depended on it! That's part of the reason I love running, even though it was my regular route, it's always different.........

I did make that noise @ points yes.

I did 4 x 3/4 mile intervals with 1/4 mile reveries inbetween.

Iklebutn Miles

23/11/2012 at 22:50

Heh. For reveries read recoveries. Heck, actually, stick with reveries...

Hi Scott, sorry 2 hear u down in the dumps. Glad the running is helping. Bless you. Chin up, old Bean.

Hello all

Yet again sorry for being silent.

FRC the improvement you have made over the last few months is truly amazing. total respect in fact you make me feel bad on occasions I dont know how you find the time.

Welcome back Scott hope things improve soon

IKLE- still nearly a 1m a mile inside your target mp. Relax

Susan- Agree I went out yesterday with my GARMIN but did not look till the end Nice and as turned out faster than expected

Does anyone live fairly close to Gloucester (within 50 miles) and sorry to be very cheeky but Im looking at the 50K in January but have not enetered as clearly the weather could stop me. Loseing a race fee is one thing a hotel another.

Thanks Martin. not sure how I make you feel bad though?

You've done loads this year, various marathons, back to back stuff, ultras, plus comrades to come. I'm at baby steps at those!

As for time, I don't run that much, 3-4 runs (currently at ~1580 miles for the year), plus a circuit & a speed/ strength class per week.

All of you inspire me and have done over the last year. (((hugs all)))

Scott, hope things better. Wondered how you were doing.

Martin sorry if came across wrong. As an example just come off 8 days of no running. Work so hard at the moment. Saying all thar forst back to back runs for a while 2 x 10 in 1.21 &1.23 was better than I expected
