I've done Edinburgh half twice, the start time is horrid. The first 3 miles are massively downhill though which is nice.
Good luck to anybody racing this weekend. I might have a shuffle round a parkrun tomorrow morning.
And another

12 with 10 at mp lunchtime. Mentally hard work running 5 x 2 mile laps of Worcester race course. There was an annoying cross wind which, other than when I was on the bottom part of the loop, seemed to be against me much of the time.
What I am struggling to grasp at present is that when I compare like for like training runs to this time last year I am statistically worse at present, yet that isn't reflected in my racing which is if anything slightly better. I am running more miles (34 more miles in March 17 than 16) which may lead to more fatigue when running the sessions perhaps?
... where nobody gives a rat's arse if they are long or short
You are certainly caning the runs this week ! A meagre 5 miles ish at lunchtime for me, feeling well weary after an easy 11 last night. I think when it takes 6 miles of running to find some mojo you know you're knackered !
It may have been windier.
Yes I feel pretty good off the back of last weeks recovery week. One more run this week and then a full week next week and I can cut right back.
.
Unfortunately the truth is that I went for a little 3 mile run last night but after 2.25 miles my foot started hurting so I walked home.
i've been in denial up to last night but I don't see a route to VLM 2017 from here.
Very disappointing and frustrating.
Bit late but mcf- sorry to hear about the acl! A couple of people i know tore theirs playing frisbee and recovery seemed to take a lot of grit. You're lucky though if running in a straight line is your sport if choice as that was one of the first things they were allowed to do again.
I took Fifi out for a 22-mile run yesterday. She LOVED it.
Beautiful morning for running: a touch warm perhaps. I struggled again on my long run (20). I have the feeling that I may as well have not bothered with the last two weeks running as nearly every run has had me dreading the next. I was *so* glad to finish today.
22 miles seems but a dream ! Well done on that. Everytime you mention Fifi it makes me chuckle Lit. It's a good name but has a balletic ring and I imagine you bouncing along and her prancing on her toes alongside.
Muddy - I'm sure you don't need to be told that the long runs are hard because of all the other training you've been doing, but for the race you'll have tapered... Fifi was NOT prancing on our run and was a bit cross when (her watch had died so she was relying on me) I mentioned we'd actually got to 22.1 miles so we had to stop straight away, not quite back at my house. However, I was bouncing and so was our other friend Fifi #3 who did the first 10 miles with us. Fifi #1 may have compared us to tiggers, but she actually thought it was amusing rather than annoying when she realised it was because in order to run at her LSR pace we were having to hold back our forward movement a bit, so all the energy was going into bouncing instead.
Yeah I do feel like I am dragging around a huge ball of fatigue and tight everywhere, so quite glad to taper things down now.
Pete's birthday, his magnificent goal breaking 44:46 10k and his V60 Prize.
Rich being one year older and 4 pounds heavier.
Reintroducing T'Dan and reducing his 5k time by over a minute - perhaps he will disappear now until his next PB.
Tommy getting his first ever individual prize - excellent!
DT running a 20 second 5 mile PB (final time per results 31:11) - you seem like you have judged the build up pretty well DT.
Muddy winning two prizes including 3rd V45 at Wilmslow which is pretty good considering quality of the field.
Well done everybody.
Bit knackered after a run, but i'm pretty sure Lit is on the wind up, telling us that dem London folks hadn't heard of Fife, and pronounce it as fi-fi
100% true, SG. Indeed, in 2015 my teammate Fifi 4 reported that after cheering her on as Fifi a spectator was heard saying to her friend 'there's another Fifi!'
