My Forum

Poacher - yes, I'm looking forward to the hills, although I suspect my legs aren't.
Literatin - thanks for the heads-up on the bookshop!
15 miles d&d at silly o'clock this morning - longest run since July 2011, I think. The rhodadendrons are usually in full bloom by now at Sandringham but they looked a poor show this morning.
Good luck to Speedy, Frazer and Ant plus anyone else racing this weekend. Catch up next week!

Lorenzo - I expect it was a bit nippy out on the beach this morning!
GM - you'll be back in the swing of morning runs soon. I live in King's Lynn in Norfolk, so it's a fair jaunt from the east to west coast to Southport.
Ant - good hilly run. Best of luck with the HM.
KR - I am seriously thinking of knocking this evening run on the head - maybe one experiment which is doomed to fail. I have much more control over the mornings.
Minni - great news. Steady as she goes.
Poacher - I'm heading over to Derbyshire for the Bank Holiday weekend - Bonsall, near Matlock. Do you know any nice shortish runs in the area?
PMJ - those reps look fairly consistent to me and a decent pace.
I've just realised that I need to re-schedule Saturday's 15 miler (not a wise move to go out for a long run the second we arrive in Derbyshire), so it'll be an extra early start tomorrow morning.

Lorenzo - nice reps. My wife is from just down the road in the equally lovely Mexborough.
AR - excellent 10k session.
Mennania - did those mile reps involve the hill?! They are super fast miles, but to string them together in a set of reps is very impressive. No wonder your calf was complaining. Hope it's okay.
GM - stringing together some very nice lunchtime sessions.
MsE - sounds like you will need a lot of patience. Hang on in there.
Ant - nice you can pop over to Blighty.
Windy - that's a lot closer to Southport than I'll get all year.
Managed to squeeze in an 8 mile steady run after all last night, although it also involved 2 errands. 3 mile recovery run d&d earlier this morning.

Ant - hope you had a good holiday resting those feet.
GM - sounds like a good way to spend a lunchtime. Good luck giving up smoking.
OG - do you have to do an unplanned 26.2 training run each year or is it okay to schedule it in?
SJ - good restraint.
Bike It - are you still in Japan or have you moved on to California now? You'll soon be in danger of being caught on speed cameras!
KR - yes, that does sound tough, especially at your paces!
Windy - well spotted - I need a bigger screen to read the pie.
3 mile recovery run d&d. Tonight's run looks in jeopardy already

JD3 - well done on bagging the first 20 miler. Sooo looking forward to doing that in the not too distant future.
SJ - great weekend of training. Just need to keep your feet on the ground
KR - good effort in the league race - what are hills?
GM - nice nippy lunchtime run.
Speedy - after all that effort you just have to get your points. Hope it gets sorted.
PMJ - that's a lot of travelling for 2 x 200m !
Poacher - don't forget to say hello Lorenzo's mate Alan.
OG - thanks, now I feel young 'cos my daughters are only 12 and 15
9 slow miles this morning.
