PTH Famous Five

I'll have to give your 10 miler a crack some time, you need to build in some steps though.

If I'm feeling OK and I can get my head around the idea I'm going for 18 miles on Thursday, but its tough doing that in an evening. 

A new mobile eh, what you getting?

FF , got a HTC Desire HD, only just plugged it in for its first charge.

Have you decided if you are doing your 18 miler tomorrow? my offer is still on the table? Otherwise ill do my lunchtime run and run after work with FL maybe if he finishes work in time?

Fl ...saying that whats your plans for tomorrows run?

Bryn, no fixed plan for tomorrow just yet. See what time I finish work and go from there. Would like to get some thing fastish in. But not too mad.

FF, hows that foot?

Bryn - Nice phone, try not to walk into any lamposts when your texting! I was still hoping to do the long run, you could join me for 10 miles of it or all of it if you feel so inclined?

I think I may have worked out what was causing the foot issue, I wore the same (new) shoes tonight as I did on the long run Saturday and noticed that for some reason I kept kicking the inside of the ankle just on the one foot - weird. I reckon that 18 miles of kicking my ankle must have caused the swelling....thats my theory anyway.

two very tempting offers, I will see how the day in the office goes, im up in Ystradgylais at 3pm for a meeting, depending on what time i finish ill let you both know,

 FL , how far you planning on going tomorrow? i am doing about 5 in the day, so dont really want to do big miles, may 7-10 if possible? What is "Fastish" pace?

 FF, sounds like some sort of foot RSI!! : ) Just a thought,...if you leg is not right, maybe give the 18 miler a miss and go for something slightly less demanding? Just a thought?

Bryn - whats this twice a day running all about then? Bit serious isnt it!!

'Slightly less demanding' - what like 17.5 miles?

yeah, twice a day alllows me to get in my 50 miles and have two recovery days, sounds nuts, but it works.

Yes...17.5 ...thats what i was not  thinking.

Opened the phone today, there is a dent at the back, so have to send it back to shop, gutted (((

Recovery days? Not heard of those, what are they?

Shame about the phone......

Recovery, from the latin.. Are you a rec  - o  - very!!!

Thanks mate

And thanks for the run tonight. Bringwen horror!!!! Your heartless.

18 miles done....

Mile 1= 7:09 Mile 2=6:17 Mile 3=6:29 Mile 4=6:32 Mile 5=6:24 Mile 6=6:17 Mile 7=6:20 Mile 8=6:28 Mile 9=6:14 Mile 10=6:25 Mile 11=6:27 Mile 12=6:08 Mile 13=6:17 Mile 14=6:15 Mile 15=6:17 Mile 16=6:26 Mile 17=6:16 Mile 18=6:19

Ave 6:24 per mile.

No hills - all flat. I wanted to keep consistent speed.

Your turn on Sunday....I'm glad mine's done.

I don't think so.......I'm not keen on racing, stopping for 20 minutes or so, and then getting going again.

I expect you to do average 6:24 or better on your way home though!
