Well I'll start off with...
I'm ill but having managed an appauling effort at the gym yesterday I'm decided not to try again until friday.
I have weighed myself and promised my body I will try harder in the food and drink department. I will eat lots of fruit and veg.
Then the training...
I'm going to do run walks for my long runs but continuous running on other runs. I'm also dusting off the oush bike and swimming more. With all this said, the long weekend becons
Friday: 4miles + swim
Satuday: Swim or Class
Sunday: 5-6miles + swim
Before October I have 2 half marathons, 1/2 5ks, 1 10miler and possibly a few 10ks.
So what are the rest of you planning to kick start you training?
And please feel free to boot me up the bum if I come back with excuses why I've not trained.

After that everything hurt (and I have been reading my book about injuries again and that usually causes all the symptoms I've read about as well :-) so some rest, and a short easy run and lots of stretching tomorrow.
Current short term goals: trail 10k on 8 June, RFL 22 June, orienteering 'races' weekly.
2 x 3m run [before work] during the week; followed by stretches and yoga
1 x 3+m run - increasing distance by 1 mile every 2-3 weeks [before or after work, midweek]
1 longer one on the weekend - run/walk + 2-3 miles walking to increase the time on my feet; 30 mins of yoga after long run
Cross-training each week: one circuits class at the gym or one session of weight training and ab/back exercises; one session of yoga.
Intending to run about 8m plus walk 3 this weekend.
Races planned: Hogsmill 5; RFL Hampstead; either Orion Chingford or Crowthorne; Dartford 1/2; Battersea 1/2; Windsor 1/2
If anyone experienced was willing to have a quick look at my planned schedule (could email the excel sheet to them) I'd be grateful...
Good luck and happy training, all. I suspect this thread will run and run. I shall butt out now because I am not, no way, doing an autumn marathon and the best way to resist temptation is not to seek it out in the first place.
Until about three weeks beforehand, I was abolutely not going to do Reading. That was different, though. That was a half-marathon. There's no Wall in a half-marathon, and no weekend-wrecking 20-mile runs in the six weeks before a half-marathon.
My target for the rest of this year is to improve my PBs for 10K and half-marathon distance before I enter a new age category next March and start all over again.
We want VRAP, We want VRAP.

Will see you at some of those races, LL!
Have 3 10ks coming up in May. After that plan to do Great Scottish Run in Sept and maybe the Moray Half or 10k in August. Planning a cycling holiday in July to Holland will count it as cross training.
Plan to start longer runs in June after the 10ks and will run 30min walk 3 mins for these.
Advise appreciated regarding training.
Cycling to Holland? Shortest route must be cycle from Aberdeen to Rosyth, Ferry to Belgium, and another couple of hours cycling and you're there
What routes are you planning in Holland? Let me know if you want more info. (I'm Dutch)
Legless, do you have any details about the Harlow 10M ? I would like to run it.
I have Hogsmill in May, Borenham Wood 1/2M in June and Amsterdam 1/2M in October. At the moment I am trying to up my mileage to 21K on my long runs and am suffering a lot with tiredness.
Good luck with your training, Peeps!
There you go. Just found the link

Borehamwood is 22nd June
Harlow is a good course and fairly flat
So do I sack the gym this evening and do a run instead?
Oh hell, I know what I SHOULD do...
I'm off for my 3 miler now - I know it's the right thing :-) and then I can have a lie in tomorrow!
I am the same as you. 5.45 for me too...
If you do it, I will!!!
Well, I've just been out for my run, as I couldn't go tomorrow morning.
Distance 4.140 inc warm up
Best pace 6'27"/Avg pace 9'52"
Max speed 9.3m/Avg Speed 6m
Now it's time for The Stick and some yoga. And then I'll have to forage for my dinner...
Did you buy one of those sticks at the FLM expo. I had a demo and thought they were brill. Didn't buy it though.
Reveal all. Am interested
