Scary stuff Fiona.
There's some nutters out there...
Fiona
Any cctv nearby? I really would report that to the police!!
I was good tonight and ran my MLR in a more conservative and controlled manner-
- 12m in 1:34.25 with first 7m around MP+15-20% and last 5m MP + 10% Splits: 8:17 8:06 8:06 8:03 8:02 8:09 8:11 7:32 7:29 7:30 7:30 7:28
Erm. The world is full of wierdos, unfortunately. Good job you're ok though Fiona.
And yes, last nights 17.5 miles was on a mountain bike.
4 miles easy for me in the drizzle. Cough has mostly gone and blocked nose has now turned into a runny nose.
sorry, guys- cawl is a Welsh name for soup- though generally refers to a tasty meat and veg stew type dish- very welcome after a chilly half
Mr S- glad you've cleared your blockage
Fiona glad your ok after "well done on the 5:46mm
Jason well done on your MLR hope you enjoy your cawl.
Jay well done on the bike work.
Looks like snow tonight so treadmill looking good for tomorrow as at work
Gobi shorts and no hat or gloves
A nice uneventful 9 miles last night!
Snow here this morning but not too bad yet. Hope the TM does not die on me - the belt seems to have moved to the left, not sure if I can fix it myself! The hat and gloves eventually come off on the TM!
Cawl sounds nice.
Good that you're almost better Mr Spoons.
Nice MLR jason. I'm enjoying running longer distances through the week but all at a relaxed pace at the moment!
F
78 minutes on the turbo today as it is Thursday
Running a few times later
Nice running folks.
OMG Fiona - scary stuff. But good to clock a fast pace while you're at it! Let's hope that's the last you see of him. The worst I have had is some jeering out of a car and a few wolf whistles (which I don't mind really
)...oh I forgot I did get shoved in London off the pavement into the road over London Bridge a year or so ago by some nutter who thought I was invading his space by running past him.
Glad you're on the mend Mr S.
Intervals yesterday - 5 x 1km with 500m recoveries.
Everyone seems to be running well at this stage...
A comfortable 4 miles this morning with 2mins gym work afters. A nice start to the day....
Snow here now
but not too bad so hope it stays that way!
Nice gym work after the run AGF
Some people just seem to have it in for runners/cyclists. Maybe it's their guilty conscience!
F
AGF- nice start to the day
6m nice and slow recovery plod for me tonight- last half a mile in a snowstorm
- not sticking at the moment though cos roads are too wet
Awwwww.... everyone seems to be having snow except me
Rest day today 'cos my left hamstring felt a bit tight and I don't want to do any damage 'cos it's the Merthyr Mawr Xmas Pudding 10K on Sunday. Assuming I can get there through any snowdrifts
Jason - thanks for the heads up on the Tregaron HM. I think that's the same date as the Dursley Dozen but I haven't entered yet so it's a case of making my mind up. Cawl sounds nice tho!
I get loads of gobby kids shouting at me on my commutes. Although they shut up fairly quickly when I skid to a halt, turn around and ask them what their problem is...
I suppose the worst I've had is the cliche "run forest run" from the odd chav in a car when running...
A couple of teenagers on a scooter told me to speed up in the lanes behind the house once but baulked at the idea of joining me for the 15 remaining miles of my LSR
I'm still not 100% so did an easy half hour on the treadmill to keep things ticking over.
Fiona, I hope your treadmill doesn't give up. could be a nightmare with lots of snow.
Mr S- well done
Snowing here too
Not happy!
6 miles am with 5 @6:22 pace, 6 miles pm easy @ 8:00 pace all on the treadmill follwed by lots of work due to lots of snow, some people just don't slow down on the roads no matter what the conditions are like.
Mr S well done on the treadmill.
Fiona same to you, I am sure if you slacken the belt you will be able to move it back and then tighten it back up.
Jayc hope the hamstring is ok.
Freemers well done on your intervals, I'll give them a miss for a couple of months.
AGF Well don in the gym.
NP - Who needs intervals when you can run 5@6.22
This evening I had a curry
Gobi: I hate intervals I think it's an age thing, will do some in late Feb/mar. I also hope to bring the tempos down to 6:05/6:10 by March.
Bit of snow in Suffolk, and expecting more I think. Haven't ventured outside yet (working at home today) so not sure if the roads are OK to run - if not I'll be hitting the dreadmill later.
Like HY4 I'm meant to be doing a family present swap this weekend, and I need to drive to Surrey tomorrow, let's hope the roads are OK.
What type of curry Gobi?
I hate intervals too but will slot them in when I need to in the marathon plan...in fact are intervals beneficial for marathon training?
Snow here - a lot of it. It's horrid. 5 miles on the TM this morning, will try to fix it at the weekend. Thanks NP, never thought of that.
Haven't had curry for ages, yum. Christmas work night out tonight so loads of food but I'll be driving so no alcohol.

Good to hear the treadmill is still going fiona. Lots of other TM running too.
I managed 44 mins jogging on TM this morning. Some swimming and gym work planned tomorrow...
Curry was Chicken with boiled rice and a plain nan
It took me over 2 hours to get to work
