That target's as clear as Muddy then.

Muddy, I need to take you out on the town, as I'd look like a fun guy in comparison

Best of luck though

I ran 5.4 miles yesterday in the sun in 40 minutes although I missed a run midweek so that was only my third run. Quite exciting!

That was Saturday - yesterday was another beautiful day and I felt okay so I ran same route again in 39:20 or 7:17m/m.

So now I've done near back to back runs over 5 miles I need to stop messing about with the 'going faster and faster training' which makes me feel like I'm back at page 1 of the thread!

Sheez Muddy. I'd have to give up my Australian citizenship if my resting HR was affected by the temperature in the UK at Easter. It was only 5 bpm above normal this morning, so hopefully on the improve.

Re: My Last Run

Speaking as an achilles sufferer, this sounds very familiar. Start by doing heel drops on the edge of a step (a negative only calf raise - go up on both feet and lower slowly on one) and keep up with glute and core strength work.
My physio says it's OK to run if the achilles eases during the run, but if it stays painful then stay off it for a bit.
Well done, alipat. It was very warm out there today.

Did my first parkrun post-Vienna, so wasn't expecting a great deal from myself in terms of speed. I chose Wanstead Flats (my other choices involved trains, and of course, with it being Easter weekend, they're digging up the railways - Wanstead is on the tube which is less hassle than a series of rail replacement buses). It's an off-road course in fields and along dirt paths - very nice, though apparently is all turns to mud in winter. No problem with that today as the ground was bone dry, but rather lumpy and covered in tree roots.
I pushed as much as I felt able to for the first two miles but then started to tire (a bit of marathon fatigue, a bit of hot weather) so took the last mile slightly easier and came in at 26:08. This is similar to my Wormwood Scrubs run two weeks after Chester so I'm on track, although I felt very tired once I arrived home.

Re: Moraghan Training - Stevie G

bus and I are slowly converging at parkrun, the last 3 have gone

21:28 19:27

20:50 19:33
20:39 19:47

so from being over 2 minutes behind, I am now just 52 seconds. Reckon 2 or 3 more and I'll be ahead ;-)

Re: Moraghan Training - Stevie G

Phil - you just need Bus to do an even sillier set of things just before the next one, and you'll be right

Not sure if this'll work, but this was the start at Maidenhead 10.

If ever you wondered why it's not wise to dramatically change direction with no warning, the geezer in yellow shows it magnificently

Morning all...

Good work at the ME 10 chaps. Interesting that the PM was indicating for everyone to go hard left....

Sorry to hear about the operation Dachs - best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Also bad luck for you as well Jools - sounds miserable!

parkrun this morning. It was never going to be pretty! The 4 days off last week was followed by a 7 day in a row stretch of running, which was actually going well, but a 340M drive on Wednesday followed by 2 days of re-laying a patio and re-pointing a wall has left me with severe back ache and constant pain (except when running!). I've also got no fingertips left, so typing is painful too! Even after not running yesterday, the result was 19:46 - my slowest ever time on the Rye!!!
