Tek- nice long run and mileage

Ended the month quietly here too with a couple of sloooow recovery runs

Monthly stats: 454.41m in 58.21.09 (7.42 av) Nearly 50m down on last year, but quite a bit quicker- not training for an ultra this year!

11.35 miles @ 9.35 for me today, felt good until the last mile and a bit when the heavens opened and the wind picked up! Rather glad I woke up 2 hours earlier than originally planned

Assuming I've loaded all my runs for the month onto Fetch, thats 166.3 miles @ 9.20 ave for me in January. Not too bad as I barely ran in December, and only decided I was doing a spring mara 2 weeks ago.

NN is mum and dad paying enjoy your run.

Jason snap two easy runs today here as well great month of running for you sir 

SM6 Great running and a nice total for the month

Wind dropped for the second run of the day but the heavens opened total stats for the month are: Run miles 351.62 avg pace 7:39 time 44:51:55 Swim 7.01 miles  got to be happy with that Rest day  tomorrow.

Great stats jason, Stuart and NP.

My legs are mashed after yesterday's 19, plus massage and (too) hot yoga this morning (I was late and had to stand by the fire).  Nearly CBAd but managed a very stiff-legged 4m recovery this afternoon.

I would like to congartulate you all on your monthly mileages and totals. Some very high totals and very good speeds. Brilliant work Everyone. 

Teknik - get those compression tights on to sort them legs !!

Good swimming NP - good to hear about the wrist..

stewart - I assume Galant = shes good looking !! 

A jog this morning and a faster run this afternoon so looking forward to a fish supper !!

Stewart - Great total for the month!

NP - Nice swimmimg

Tek - Well done on getting out

AGF - Well done on the 2 runs, enough your dinner

Legs are pretty achey today so non-running day, went to the gym instead. Weighed myself, and my weight seems to have risen this week, but I'm not concerned as I don't think that's completely right.

Parkrun is cancelled tomorrow So 10 miles or so on my lonesome in the morning. Maybe throw in some tempo if my legs feel upto it.

Well done guys.

It's not worth putting up my mileage total as it's under 10 miles for the month however it's miles on the board.

Nice stats Stewart.

Fantastic that the wrist was a bit better NP, it's certainly long overdue!

Teknik I think I'd fall asleep if lying on a yoga mat next to a fire - sounds great!

AGF I hope the fish supper was good.

Stuart if the legs are achey take care on going too fast in tomorrow's run.

Miles are miles HM4 and you can build on that in February whereas the rest of us might be back a bit with it being a short month!

Did a 6 mile run today and although I can still feel the knee all the time it was fine when running so will just carry on with the stretching and foam roller and training.

Hope everyone has a good weekend of running and racing, enjoy the trail race NP.

There was some serious mileage run during Jan thats for sure.

NP impressive swim miles too, good luck for your race...and yes mum paid, but of course he will pay me back...I wont hold my breath...lol

Stewartc what a gent getting that extra mile with that lady..your mileage is creeping up too

AGF enjoy that fish supper ..when is Brighton ?

SM6 its probably muscle don't fret over a few pounds

Tek not surprise your legs are tired after yesterday 19 well done on getting a 4 mile recovery done

HM4 10 miles is more than 99%   of the population have run..nice well done

Fiona..it HAPPENED  because you are motivated , fantastic running indeed

I Had a lovely hilly windy 11 miler late afternoon on one of my favourite routes, its been too dark to run that route recently when I get up, but it looks as if the days are gradually getting longer..I had to peg it a bit the last couple miles as it seemed to suddenly draw in and I had no head torch..

11 miles in 1.40 ave hr 72% nice and low so pleased considering the hills and wind

AGF WHEN IN BRIGHTON ?????

lol I wrote it in capitals as you didn't spot it last time..my son is doing the half there in 2 weeks I take it the marathon is later as you don't appear to be tapering 

The week in the sun will be a nice recovery week for you..what will you do will lulu ?

My son is hoping for under 1.35..its really annoying, this time last year he couldnt keep up with me, today I get a text saying he has just done 41 min 10k training run...oh to be 31 years old ...lol

Had intended a pool swim following work after my SLOW "wooden legged" 5.5 miles with JS last night, but work had other ideas.
Weekend off now ...

No month count for me (I never do!) but some impressive totals around
