Thanks Steve, happy running

Hi Steve. I'm due to do 11 miles LSR for VLM training this weekend. I'm behind due to a knee injury so I really don't want to skip another long one. Some of my more hardy friends are saying "just get out there" but I'm really worried about the ice.

Should I carry on with 11 miles as planned? Or run on the treadmill until I either get bored to death or thrown out of the gym? Or switch the 11 miles for another treadmill interval run to get another speed session in and give my knee a bit more time to recover (90% better and physio says I'm fine to train)

Thanks!

I caught up on here with people getting shortlisted and heard the cheery "ping" of my email systems. I looked...it said "Runner's World..."....I opened...I paused.....It was a notification for this thread! BAH! Hee hee, still hoping...

Oooh just found this thread as I chewed the last of my fingernails off and wondered if I missed out on bootcamp! Do they email if you're unsuccessful too?You know, just for our sanity

Good luck everyone! xxx

I love threads like this. When they're written well they serve to inspire others or remind the better runner out there what it was like when they started. Do carry on
