Everyone else. I welcome you in to TAPIR TIME. Great Jon. Now your goal is lose the fatigue, sharpen up a bit and train your mental focus on the goals you have set.
Picture will arrive tmrw when I am not burdened with this silly non-PCM tablet thingy. Cracking PB The Jimbob. Well done.
I managed. Paltry 13kms today. Was aiming for longer but felt rough on the way out, rough all the way round and headed for home early feeling rough. If I was training for a mara I'd have found that depressing. But I don't even have a next race booked, so I guess it's ok.
Parc Leopold RR. Where is that? You'll get dizzy there. You'd have more fun with me in the forest..... Running.
To be honest frozen pea therapy is only for home use.
Great effort JB, perfect lead into Paris.
Well done to others getting their LSRs completed.
Due to a history of soft tissue injuries I divide my long run over 2 days.
Saturday was 105 minutes @77%max HR(19km @ 5m 30s pkm)
Sunday was 150 minutes-90min @ 77%, 60min @85%max HR(28km, 5m 25s pkm)
Bit of fatigue but no aches and pains in the legs this morning.
Iain, we'll try to accomodate this mate! be a shame to have you in London and not run! (or at least meet up) - of course we'll be in Paris the following Sunday for a little jog!
TJB - excellent news, seems all too close now! Rest those legs tomorrow dude.
DV that was me who asked about doing another LSR. Thanks for the advice. I will refrain! I'll look forward to the madness commencing (if it hasn't already..)
TJB that is awesome. Didn't you only just set a PB a couple of weeks ago, now you've gone and shaved (lopped) off another few minutes! Great work.
Jimbob.. you are flying...
Ah I keep getting names wrong. Big thanks to TD for the advice.
So what's the plan for the taper period? Same number of runs a week, same speed, but shorter distance?
Jimbob I'd say get yourself in the 3.30 pen and go like the clappers!
Thanks TD!!
This lazy moo heard the rain battering against the window and stayed in bed today
Bloody glad I did its horrendous out there, and I keep convincing myself that work will more than make up for this mornings missed run........I normally run 2x on Mondays anyway so tonight I will have extra in my legs.........I hope
If this weather continues all good plans may end up on a treadmill

Ooh - I could be around but I think you're a lot faster than me? TD is the Brussels expert. The first time I ran in Brussels I didnt have a good experience so choose to run nearer home instead.
TJB: Congratulations! That's incredible. In the words of the great KO's (forum regular last year) you are gonna run Paris like you stole something!
Morning all, legs are like I've run a marathon this morning, but a 5k is needed, so will head out at a very slow pace soon. Lashing down, so not in too much of a hurry.
Thanks for all your work ATM, I'm waiting for Paris to email me back re that form thingy. I think it might be that I didn't register till late (and paid for it...) and last night didn't sleep for worrying that perhaps I'm not rgistered at all and it's a "blip". So I've spent a good half hour going through bank statements and credit card slips to see if they have actually taken me dosh - PHEW they have......
will have to think about the kit soon....
yes MM (but i'm having deja vu!)
The word of wisdom from an 11 year old this morning, my t-shirt in Paris has to co-ordinate with my trainers etc.........apparently I have to look good and co-ordinating is the way to go.........and it goes on........If I look good, I'll feel good and then will run good?!?!?!
She obviously hasn't learned that mum in lycra will NEVER look good!!!
Kaz - She's obviously been reading some good old Hal advise to women's running!
but Kaz - aren't your trainers a bit of a startling colour?
Morning all, tried to post over the weekend but everytime I looked there was far too much to read and catch up on! Well done to everyone who has done their last LSR, can't believe the day is now fast approaching. Also see there is a few new PB's so great effort and a nice way to relax in to tapir.
Welcome back, Dom! ( and Mrs. Dom? ) *I relate compeltely to your Next-Year-In-Jerusalem mantra..* Any chance of joining us in the pub?
This thread moves so quickly, it's easy for people to get swamped. You need sharp elbows as well as nimble fingers to get a word in..
Alexander? Are you completely over the shellfish? Nead? Still alive?
Still 3 weeks to go and , yet, I feel a 'packing list' coming on...
3 weeks yesterday and counting. I have started my list as a way to calm my nerves a little. The thought that I have done my last long run before the 7th of April makes me anxious - there's not much to do now but maintain fitness levels.
@ SP13 + kitchen sink ( Let's just cut to the chase...)
I'm off to run some intervals. Happy Taper everybody
I'm at home this mornong, marking essays with ice on the leg, Patti Smith on itunes, 3 weeks to go - it doesn't get any better than this!
Weedy - I've absolutely no idea this week!
Oh, and I've ordered some Nipguards from amazon as I'm fed up looking like i'm lactating in marathon photos. (Still, that is better than bleeding!)
