Shredded wheat, banana and skimmed milk, two cups of tea, at least two hours before. I hate porridge. Allow time for numerous toilet visits. Job's a good'un ('scuse the pun)

5.5 miles cross country club run

Nice idea baldie, I try to do this in the summer once the teaching's fizzled out a little, but invariably end up cycling. The logistics of kids at child-minder / stuff to carry etc. inevitably fox me in the end..

Me- pushed at work but still managed 3.6 great miles in Epping Forest with my friend.  God this running's like therapy. have had such a crappy few days at work and with tween boy and even that small distance really picked up my mood

@baldie, I will be nice, promise  BTW Orion are doing the first of three Forest Five on Saturday 1st June at 10 am.  First Saturday of June, July and August, same time, cross country 5 miles.  You should come along, it's a beautiful / muddy route.

Me- parkrun this morning. legs were tired after yesterday's run, so I treated it as a recovery and a chance to give out flyers for the upcoming club run

I'm still a (relatively) young nearly-40, with 4+ years of running under my belt and hopefully a lifetime more of it.  For me a 10 minute mile is just about the perfect running speed.  I have my own very modest targets but they don't stretch beyond a 10 minute mile on any longer distance like a HM +.  Like runnin man I'm quite a sociable runner and I often run with friends at this sort of pace (of slower if we're cross country), having a great chat and enjoying the run.  I like Lilytoo's philosophy and will nick it!  I love to run too and hope to continue to love it for many years.  Proud to be a slow runner
