Lit - we were second - the last round was a shit or bust zero the whole round score if you go for an answer and we were a couple behind so took a chance on the compass point of the Good Witch in Wizard of Oz - it was a 50/50 and we guessed wrong so lost by about 7.
edit : shit, I bagged a duck egg yesterday, hope you did less than 3 ;-)
I had a slack-ish week last week - did maybe 25 miles ? I'm not properly recording runs just running familiar routes. Knee and foot soreness so pulled back on the mileage. I did a (recorded) 4.2 and 5.2 so far this week. Will try for 6.2 tonight.
Was it East Skinny ? As all I can remember is the wicked witch of the west ? Suppose I could Google. I am dreadful at quizzes. Went round to my cousin's place at Christmas and because I have a reputation for being brainy they wanted me on their side. But I knew sod all about 80s pop music and Disney princesses and everyone on my team lost faith in me.
The Wicked Witch of the West was really mad with Dorothy because her house landed on and killed her sister The Wicked Witch of the East - Ding dong the witch is dead, which witch, the wicked witch, ding dong the wicked witch is dead.
The 50/50 was therefore between North and South and we guessed wrong - actually Mrs Skinny said she knew it which is why we went for it but clearly she didn't!
On post quiz research it is far from clear what the right answer is and I'd need to hear the exact wording of the question again because it seems the answer is possibly inconsistent between the books and the film.
Be careful with that persistent soreness. Cheers.
Actually what happened was I wanted to check which was right for when you guessed so I looked it up on wiki and discovered it was not clear. Mace/Muddy the V55 men’s 10k record is 32:02 - I think it’s safe!
I had designs on 8 but the last mile was up hill and having done 3 hills already and a fair chunk into the wind, it was beginning to feel like that last mile would be a bit of a slog so I put my sensible hat on and walked home.
me for the best part of 3.5 years, i’ve been clear
of it now for 6 months ( touch wood !! )
I'm on 19 - 4,4,1.5,8,1.5 - with a 2 and a 10 planned for the weekend.
On target for another solid week Skinny.
23 for the week so far with a very pleasant 10 yesterday.
P&D week 2 but I've no idea if any of the paces I'm running are right, as I've no recent races so I'm just using pure gut feeling. Sunday's 13 with 8 at "MP" should be interesting.
well done all. I am still very slowly building up my run distance and time running between intervals.
All being well another 2 weeks and I should start hitting 20 plus miles per week.
I'm currently trying to edge up from 35 to 40 mpw. The thing I'm finding hardest is recovery. I dont seem to be able to run a session unless I've had a rest day the day before. My other half seems to think it's because I'm not as young as I used to be
I’m on 19 miles with Skinny - so far so good this week. I’ve enjoyed it and it feels a lot smoother. I will do a light speed session tonight - did 6x400m last week getting down to 72 seconds from 80 on the very rusty first rep. Will try for 8x400m later. Full recoveries on each - the objective is to get fast and efficient running form, rather than tolerating pain.
Good luck DT, hope the careful approach pays off. I’m glad you’re hopeful of an autumn marathon Rich. I suspect Manchester will be called off. I suppose I should start thinking about how I might train for it, just in case. June, July, August and a bit of September already doesn’t seem like enough time, with my longest run being 8 miles in the last 10 weeks.
Skinny nice week of running, enjoy your long run hopefully easy pace
Hi Rich
Plodding away mileage wise here, slow pace but getting the miles in, hope everyone is ok.
mr v, how old are you now and what steps do you take to assist recovery? And yes are your easy runs slow enough?
Save for right now, I've had pretty much 5 straight years without an injury. I pay quite a bit of attention to recovery with recovery drinks, stretches, epsom salt baths and a range of devices. Also fluid in take and sleep make a difference.
I'm still eyeing that small local mara end of September. it seems inconceivable that london or NY will take place. i just need to get a few weeks proper running in before i risk £45.
Skinny, any chance of a table updated some point soon for my half pb in Feb? 82.11.
I did a covid 19 self test today. Extremely unpleasant process.
To be fair, if you look at the list of possible symptoms i challenge anyonevto say they haven't suffered one or two of those since mid march.
i have had a few recently which ive put down to hayfever. Obviously it doesnt tell me what's been and gone, just about the now.
Finally set my bike up on turbo today so can start doing a couple of spin sessions each week which should help progress fitness.
Another 5.5M this morning and I’m in danger of beating target and the cheerleader not getting his pom poms out :-(
My concern with the feasibility of people having it before March is that it isnt reflected in the death rates. Why weren't people dying then but they are now.
I'm not leaving lockdown any time soon!
You'll be pleased to hear ive added to my collection of peculiar devices in recent weeks with the below;

The massage gun is a nice bit of kit for the money, it's £15 more now than what i paid. The accu pen is a bit more of an instrument of torture.
