It's the 18th, but I'm only 15 days away from my birthday, so I just rounded it up to 29.

Evening all, I'm 29 and have been running for 7 years, my target for this year is to beat my PBs in the half and the full marathon. My pb in the half is 1.20 and my pb in the full is 3.12. I did them 2 years ago and since then my training times have been getting slower (haven't done a marathon in 3 years). Now, I haven't been doing the same amount of mileage that I was doing when I did my PBs because of other commitments. I have also had sinus problems which I'm currently having treated. I don't feel lethargic when I run, it just seems harder to increase my speed - a mental thing maybe? Diet is quite strict - I have one cheat day a week and even then I very rarely eat takeaway food. I know there are runners on here who are very experienced and always willing to pass on good advice. I would greatly appreciate it, if I could be a beneficiary of such advice.

Evening all, i have been advised to come to this thread as i have reached a stagnant point in training. My training times have really tailed off of late. I'm about 20-30 seconds slower per mile and my breathing feels out of sync. My legs feel fine and don't feel tired or sluggish, could it be the hot weather? Running in the face of heavy head winds? Sorry to be vauge. If you need to know more i will answer as best as i can, I have heard from some who have come here for advice that their training really picked up from the advice they were given on here.

This is quite hard to explain, but i will give it a go. Since May, i have been running a lot slower due to a blocked nose and an inability to get a second wind. I went through a period, were i was catching a cold quite often and i have been under a lot of stress lately. I have never been diagnosed with Hay fever and i am not asthmatic.

 But i do not have a cold now and i can't seem to shake it. Sorry for being vague, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
