    Morning Gobi,   Nice Streak.  You will soon lose the weight required.

    5 Miles for me yesterday. Speed for 71% MHR was very pleasing for me. First time I have tested it for a while. Hopefully tonights Jog will be similar. Gradually building image

    I seem to be OK now so back to running club tonight.

    Timing was perfect in that man-flu hit just after half marathon while in recovery.

    I can now settle into base training after all that scary speed work.

    Hope it' doesn't come back.

    --------

    Well done on everyone's training.  No more running from me so far.  I'm possibly looking at quick run on Saturday before my parents come round and then maybe another one on Sunday.

    Nice double NP and good speed there AGF.

    Sounds like you need to take it easy for a bit jason.

    kaz, USB & Spoons hope you are all feeling better. More snow here this morning. image

    Good luck for the weekend run HY4.

    Careful on the ice Gobi, that's why I'm on the treadmill, terrified of breaking something!

    Did not get out last night but better today (apart from not keen on food yet) so did 7 miles on treadmill with 6 lots of 1k at 14.4k/hr off 200m recoveries. Felt great. Speed not there and HR high but first proper speed in ages.

    Ice smice I am a running machine !!!!

    10.5 miles today and only a little glute discomfort all other body parts felt good. :¬)

    Day by day.

    Entered my first marathon of 2012 yesterday, it is in January :¬)

    I agree muscle weighs more than fat so you are better conditioned Kaz

    On my road though I actually need to lose weight, ah but then I look fat !!!

    Lots of running in the last 2 days NP. Might have to do doubles myself if on the treadmill as the longer runs are hard going!

    Well done on everyone's runs.

    Fantastic weight mgt NP.
    Wow, that is a lot is snow Fiona... Working from home?
    In notts tonight, so ran with a running group from sweatshop located at a virgin gym. About 50 ran. 1 mile there and back plus 6 miles with the group was good fun. I normally run solo,so was a nice change and also found I ran a about 90 secs per mile faster than what I normally bimble about in. Might try to make that more often as I tend to stop over once weekly... Better than gym!! Happy... Now for food!

    Evening all!!

    Well conditions here are terrible. Was going to attempt an outdoor run today but black ice everywhere and the gritters don't seem to be doing much?? I have resorted to the dreaded TM but like you Fiona I find longer runs on it hard?? Anything above 7 miles feels like a chore?? Why do I find TM harder than running outdoors???image

    WK 1 of proper winter weather and I've had enough!!!image

  • Options

    NP- why do you want speed at the moment anyway?image

    Resting today- both of my achilles are achy and tired - without doing big miles, so heeding the warning signs....imageimage It's been a big year and a long yearimage

    Back tomorrow thoughimage

    No snow here.... 

  • Options

    Just over 6 miles this morning, very windy very wet and cold second run of the day laterimage.

    Jason, I am not worried about the speed side of things at te moment it was just an observation as the miles go upimage

    Kaz well done with the training on the treadmill, when at work I have to use one other wise I couldn't get the miles in you will get use to it the more you use it.

    AGF it's nice to run in groups and will help you to improve.

    Blowing a gale now!! It will be treadmill tonight but the snow gone from town. image

    AGF I drive a Subaru Impreza so no problems with getting around in the snow.

    Agree that you will get used to the treadmill kaz - the 20 milers are the worst!

    A well deserved rest jason.

    Well don't think its gales here  tonight.......... it sounds more like a hurricane!!! and torrential rain too lovely!!!image

    Another day of the dreadmill - 10 miles, nice  and easy. The short powercuts added some interest!!image

    Did lots of baking tonight with the children but made it  all with normal flour  and proper eggs so I couldn't eat it........How disciplined am I!! Truth be known I don't have any gluten free left or egg substitute and I wasn't driving the 35 mile round trip for  it!!!image

    Well done on the TM 10 kaz. Did 8 miles with 6 at 7:06mm pace.

    Wind close to here recorded at 150mph and far too much water for comfort with all that snow melting at once. image
