MikeB - not much danger of me overcooking the 800s with my leg speed:-). I did the session and felt good on the 800s, but a bit fed up halfway through the 16 laps after. Glycogen low I think as I hadn't refuelled in time after Sunday and ran 13.5 miles yesterday.

Mellifera - great idea suggested for you to do a few more low key races like XC. If you're short of a club we at Barnsley AC always extend a warm welcome:-)

was planning to do a nice easy run at the club tonight whilst still defending my unbeaten record till I ran into something dangerous, one of the runners from the top pack who'd had an awful day at work. Within teh first mile he was over 100m ahead and showed no signs of stopping. Accelerated eventually caught him and ran in with him, but not the easy run I wanted before tommorow!

6.65 miles in 42 mins ( irritated runner ran over 20 seconds faster than he'd done this route in the last 2 years, we run this route every week :S). over the hilliest route possible :).

BR- never stop recruiting do you! Barnsley were blessed with a press gang sergeant the day they recruited you :O)

Bryn, sounds like you need more self-discipline there. Club runs shouldn't turn into races, certainly not each week, and when you sound as if you wanted an easy run before tomorrow !

Evening runners - and hello Cartman.

Rest day today. Feel too tired to run. Don't think I'm going down with anything, just a work/sleep imbalance.

Mr D is recovering well and has had the odd twinge of sciatic pain - they said it wouldn't go away completely - but nothing much. He is up and walking around and is hoping to get home tomorrow.

Stickless - I will certainly be suggesting pilates or other core strength stuff to him.

Hilly - I used to knit lovely things for my babies - no time these days! That was before the days of the internet of course!!

Spinning was tough tonight, but was followed by ashtanga (?) yoga, which I enjoyed - first ever yoga session for me.

Knitted shorts - hardly technical!!

What - Pooped
Why - went to the gym
Last Hard - getting up a hill on my bike on Sunday
Last Rest- hmmm, actually I can't remember.

I'm STARVING! It must be this bike riding. I devoured peanut butter on toast with chopped banana's on top this evening. AND then I ate chocolate for good measure!

Scooby snax needs some LARGE DOUBLE DECKER WHAMMIES!

P.s. return to running going well. Achilles is being good and behaving.

Puff, puff! (and that's after 15 mins)

On a dark desert highway (√)(deserted?)
cool wind in my hair ☺
warm smell of colitas (must be a brand of engine oil)
rising up through the air.
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
Oh no it's a Police car
And he's stopped me, oh Sh.te.

At least I managed to avoid 3 brushes with the Law in 3 days. Another 300 miles commuting today. No time for a run.

Good one Hilly - my bench-mark - sub 6 for 1 mile - sub 7 for the marathon especially doing all the long work you do!

nice way to summarise the lyrics Blisters. However, at the moment Hotel Texas would be more appropriate.

thought about starting todays thread with "YOU BETTER NOT TRY TO STAND IN MY WAY/ WHEN I WALK OUT THE DOOR", with which info it should allow the cognoscenti to derive the following line.....

what : avoided running due to sore ankle after excess tready use. so 24 mins each of cycling & stair stepping in hotel gym.

Definitely agree shorter races help generate and sustain speed.

Tomorrow (wed) probably rest.
