will be interesting to find out how my legs feel.....
Yes Paavo Nurmi, the man two did manage the 1500m / 5000m double in Paris (along with the cross-country race and the team 3000m).
It is rumoured that he was so angry not to be selected for the 10,000m that he ran a time trial on the day of the final in 29:45 (first time anyone ever broke 30 mins). Probably not true, but I’d like to think it was...
What: 3 miles easy
Why : Tapering for 10k race tomorrow
have a good day everybody for all those racing
Why: resting body for long run tomorrow
Good luck to all those racing this weekend
.....While I'm there I'm racing a hilly 5M, followed I hope by my long run in Widsor Great Park tommorrow morning.
Have a great weekend!
Last Hard: Tue
Last Rest: 15 days
What: nothing
Why: My run yesterday did nothing to ease the stiffness in my hamstring, so im resigned to a weekend of RICE. booo.

Had to remind myself to have a lie-in this morning, so used to running first thing on a Saturday.

nothing for me today. Hurt my back... hoovering. Owch!
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend.
Happy running!
What: 11 miles @ mp
Why: scheduled
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: Friday
Was meant to do 16 miles but both legs quite sore so decided discretion was the better part of valour and stopped short. Might cycle this afternoon to make up the shortfall.
Sorry to butt in on this thread, but are you South African by any chance? If you are, please email me...
Thank you!

Resting heart rate >20 beats over normal this morning, so another enforced rest day, I'm afraid.
Husband has explained that the virus won't go away any quicker if I shout at it, but it's SO frurstrating when I want to be out there training...
Both runs done a bit earlier today, to allow a longer recovery before tomorrow's long run.
For the rest of the day I shall be mainly....watching football. AFC Wimbledon in the FA Vase, followed by England on the telly. Then had better take Mrs TT out for a meal (pasta loading) to make up for it.
Good luck to anyone racing tomorrow and for those who should be taking it easy (LynneW and BR) make sure you do.
Today is theoretically my last long run, with three weeks before Loch Ness, but I'm still on the comeback trail. So the distance will depend on how I feel, probably in a multiple of 5.5 mile laps, and in the best-case scenario, it'll be 22 miles. I dunno. Fingers crossed.
Good luck to the racers, and a thoroughly pleasant weekend to all.
Colly M - I'm impressed with your sensibleness in cutting back your long run, something I can learn from.
LynneW - Get well soon!
Why: Training program says so
Next R*n: Tomorrow, 30 mins treadmill, 1%incline.
Aw Spud, you should watch out --hoovering's nasty business.
What: about 8-9 miles around the Charles river basin. Gorgeous morning, for once the humidity down to a reasonable level. Previous runs I had been unsure whether to drink the air or breathe it.
Lots of runners out, so I am ever reminded how slow I am, but I'm getting used to it.
Home on Thursday, so only a few more runs here.

Had a lovely holiday.
Didn't run. Had a nice relaxing time - didn't run because t'would have been like suicide really - traffic was horrendous and Italian drivers are nutty!!! Absolutely nuts!
Bad news is: Dad had a heart attack whilst I was away and is just home from hospital. Feel a bit bad about it but still, nothing I could do really - he's okay just a bit shell shocked 'cause he's always been fit & healthy.
So gym tomorrow and then walk with doggie and Dad tomorrow afternoon. See you all Monday. Hope everyone is okay.
Cath
