OH - Great race reports, and nice pics Well done on the 20 min course best How long were you waiting around for, and on the ferry?

Jason - Nice running today

Mace - Good luck trying to talk the missus round

Tek - Nice run today. Surgery sounds a bit extreme

NP - Hope the injury has cleared

HM - Well done on the race!

MG/Stewart/Fiona - Good runs yesterday

7.35 miles @ 10:32 ave, 151 ave HR

Didn't feel particularly good. Had a sore head, was struggling to catch my breath in places and struggled to keep HR down. Think a lot of that was down to the humidity, and pollen in the air.

Still, it's done now Looks wet and wild for tomorrow however

HM - Good luck tomorrow

Fiona - Enjoy the longer run tomorrow

Jason - Nice parkrun this morning

MG - Good run in the windy. Nice pace over it too!

AGF - Well done on hitting the 1000 for the year. You'll be flying by the time Berlin comes round.

Stewart - Good run last night. The temptation to run a bit too fast is always there with me too!

Busy day for me. 7.2 miles w/23:10 parkrun, 3.5 miles walking plus 45 minutes in the gym.

Ran parkrun at a tempo effort. Was meant to run round with my mate again today, but he didn't get out his bed!

Legs are very heavy now, I'm hoping to get 10ish done tomorrow as I want to make it to the gym on Monday. I might have to pospone the run til Monday, however.

Tek - Good training today. Hope the lurgy lifts quickly. Thinking about it, the last km or so was directly in the sun(no shade) that might have lifted the HR a bit. I can certainly see improvements in the last couple of weeks, I can actually keep my HR under 160 now! Going to try to keep it under 156 (~70%WHR) on easy runs from now.

I've also decided I'm not running another marathon this year. Stirling 10k and GSR half will be the key races the 2nd half of the year. Then another bash at sub 4 in April

OH - Is the marathon tomorrow? Well done on the half PB earlier in the week. Yeah, Sandwood Bay is our planned camp on our last night.

NN - Nice run today, enjoy the rest days

IJ - Sounds like a tough run today, well done.

MG - That's a nice quick run.

Stewart - Yeah, I think you could do with slowing the runs down a touch, but you're getting the miles in so no real harm. Loch Ness is still a long time away.

3.1 miles @ 10:07. 145 HR ave

Not a great run, legs felt heavy and HR started to drift like a barge about 800m from home. Shame as it is a lovely day, would have knocked out 5 or 6 if my legs felt a bit more lively.

The plan is 7 tomorrow, 10 Sunday. But I'll wait and see, might just do 3-4 tomorrow.

Tek - Sounds like a nice wee run this morning

Steven - That's a bloody good time for a first marathon Well done!

IJ - I like your motivation for the bike session

Jason - Nice run

Stewart - Couple of nice runs there. Good stuff.

NN - Good training yesterday, sounds like a busy one!

AGF - Nice pair of 7s yesterday

Fiona - Good run yesterday, hope you managed to get out today.

7.00 miles @10.09 ave 147 ave HR

Easy and slow again. Since I'm 10k/HM training, I considered something faster, but since I've hardly done any miles in the last 2 months I just kept it slow again. Might introduce a faster run back next week.
