Thanks Caniggia. I hear Tiger made it out of the Valley of Sin which is apparently part of the course. Surprising
I'm recovering awfully well. Clearly training yourself into the ground works. I may even run today
Hi all,
Not been on for a while
. I went into hiding during the World Cup and then failed to come back !
Bedshaped - Well done on your ultra and well done Mark for having a good go whilst ill
.
Training for my own ultra at the moment. 56 miles first weekend of September
. Then New York marathon in November. Little chance on catching Smiffie up on completed marathons although she may want to consider just going to Berlin for a break and to support ? 
.
Guten Abend,
Why is everybody running ultras?????? They just sound crap to me. Phwoar you aren't doing another 40 laps of Rotheram are you?????
Apparently if you can say you have played a round with Tiger you can make millons from tabloid newspapers. A couple of years ago you would have been lucky to get a mention in Golf Monthly. Apparently he had also had fun every day with a dyke and a ginger beer!!!!!!!
News flash
Man arrested for punching his wife again.
..........when the judge asked; "Why do you keep beating her?" the accused replied "I think it's my weight advantage, longer arm reach and superior footwork......."
Morning all!
I'd quite like a wee run today but have a fecking big raw heel blister that needs a few more days to heel before thinking about anything like putting on a running shoe
Also some sad news - my Asics passed away last night. They'd had a good life, run a couple of marathons, one ultra, one aborted ultra and many, many training miles. They will be missed but not for long... pay day is in a couple of weeks
Sorry to hear about Asics Mark
. I was unfaithful to mine. Two-timing them with a pair of Nike Lunarglides !
Can - No laps of Rotherham this year. Doing this instead..

Oh dear, didn't read all the advice until now and have the 405XT! Woops, have no idea how to work it, have so far managed to charge it up and thats it! Am hoping to have "teach in" with expert at club.
Did Northumberland Coastal way on Sunday, very very scenic and have managed to get sunburnt although it was overcast and windy. 2.19 for 14 miles which is ok for me but had problems with my back all the way round, am getting very concerned that I am going to have to take a break which is going to mess up my training schedule for Kielder, have massage on Friday so trying to hold in there till then.
Markk - this is how rubbish I am at technology its not a 410XT its the 310XT that I have bought, honestly there is little hope that I will ever be able to use it!!!!!!
Happy days then
. Do let us know when you plan to do your first Iron Woman to test out the full capabity of your new toy 
Seriously, good step up from the 305 and better battery life. I got a battery warning on my 305 at 6 hours on Saturday.... still working 3 hours later... perhaps time to send to Garmin for a service.
Well done Mark and bedshaped on your weekend ultra exploits.
I managed a measly 13.5 miles in comparison and it was a feckin miserable 13.5 miles at that. It rained non stop for the entire run and by the end I had enough. I was going to do 16 miles but I was getting crabbit with the weather so I called it a day and went home. At least things are back on track with my Loch Ness training and as I'll be up north this weekend the plan is to run an 18 miler that I've done before and which has a few very testing hills. I think that's a good approach for Loch Ness so I'll do that and there's another route that follows the west highland way from Balmaha up to a point opposite Tarbet and back again which has a few good climbs as well. I just hope the weather improves.
Good choice SCharm!! I'd buy one of those if I didn't have the piece of crap I have right now! Hope you and it are happy together and spend many many miles in total harmony
And lots of technical stuff too Greg once you get past Inversnaid which is great fun but maybe not so much when it's really really wet as it can be pretty treacherous! Good the hear the LN training is gfoing well. Enjoy your trip up north.
Still suffering with that blister Markk?? Ouch!! I ran last night
but only to the shop 
Still, just 5 days until the Tour of Fife starts - oh crumbs.....
Thanks bedshaped, am hoping that I might be able to take it out on a little outing tonight, if my back is ok!
Phew SCharm, that bezel thingy on 405 just doesn't work and I'm gutted at wasting the money. Ebay sale coming up
Caniggia33 - New Strap on?????
I ran 5 miles on Sun & 5K last night, both on dreadmill, hopefully 10'ish weds then. If I can kick my butt hard enough will get to Berlin, just the thought of beating DCB is motivating me
95% of training is going to be in garage on dreadmill though 
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Went to the gym tonight to get things moving again after the weekend. Thighs were throbing after a couple of miles on the bike, but we got there in the end. Need to get back out running in the next couple of days for my own sanity.
Gawd how your fitness goes, slogged it round 90secs a mile slower than normal, but at least out there running
And that was on the horse Smifffie
Morning all.
Morning!
Folks doing the Tour of Fife - how difficult is it really? I am starting to get a wee bit worried!
