Wise words.
Morning all.
Today I shall be mostly expectorating in the hope that the gunk in my lungs will be gone in time for the Nene Valley 10.
Enjoy your Saturdays, folks.

Well I'll just have to do another slow 6 miles this afternoon, then. Getting a bit bored with my usual routes, though. Must get the map out and find some variations, as I'll end up falling asleep as I run, otherwise.
What: 6 miles am, 10 miles pm
why: mileage building
Hilly good luck in your deciding race tomorrow
have a good day everybody
Thanks for the advice Mike regarding warming up for short races. I tend to do about 10-15 mins jogging and then stretching before the 3ks. Will try the strides next time.
Today I did 3 miles easy, 3 miles steady and then 1.5 easy.
Last Hard: yesterday.
Last Rest: Monday.
Good luck to all racers this weekend maybe cold but sunny.
LynneW hope you find your new route.
Hilly, all the best for tomorrow - enjoy it!
What: 3 rather sullen miles. Grey skies, cold headwind that seemed to follow me round. I had walked a couple of miles beforehand, enough to realize it was not going to be lovely or anything like, but I wanted to get flexible enough to try some new stretches I'd been shown. That means run.
I have simply got to sort out the headache/stiff neck. It's a pest trying to run with it, because it mucks up vision. See what the physio can do I guess. Running out of ideas.
What: 6 miles very easy with Mrs TT
Why: tapering
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Wednesday
Luton marathon tomorrow. After months of 'weight loss and aerobic base building' it comes down to 165 minutes of running (or hopefully a bit less). I am still about a stone heavier than I wanted to be, but recent races have been encouraging. Hopefully it will come together on the day. Its gonna hurt though...
Good luck everyone else racing this weekend.
1 hours base training done about 5½ miles.
Good luck tomorrow TT (and all other racers)
I have lost 8½lb (nothing like TT standards) and am feeling a slight improvement, or is it the base training, or the consistency, or maybe just maybe it is a mixture of all three
Anyhow have a nice weekend, tomorrow will try attempt 7½ miles or maybe 8 longest run since 1989 (gulp).
bit fresher here - courtesy of a chilly easterly breeze
Good luck 2T - looking forward to reading about it.
Well battled round Stickless and Hippo
what: nothing
why: would only have been a few (very few) easy miles anyway, but in step back week....
last hard day: HR says yesterday was hard - wasn't meant to be
last rest day: Thu
Normal service resumes tomorrow....
What: Sunday's long run, brought forward a day. 2hours 15 min, no idea how far as the GPS batteries ran out after 6 miles! Average HR 124 - lowest I've managed on a long run so far.
Why: Pacing Mrs 70mins to a pb at the Wyvern 10K tomorrow
Last Hard: Wednesday
Last Rest: Thursday
Annoyed about the batteries as I made up a new route today & it was a good one, will have to do it again soon to measure how far it is.
Enjoy your races tomorrow.
What: 2 or 3 miles jogging watching the London Business Houses cross country champs with some strides at the end.
Why: Marathon tomrrow. I had hoped to do the LBH but the dates clashed with Luton being the only marathon option.
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Rest: Thursday
Good luck with your 3 K Jane (rather you than me) and your multi terrain race Hilly.
BR, just spotted you in this month's RW, congrats, you look like the athlete you are, but why didn't you take your shades off??
Good luck in Luton TT.
What: steeled myself for hardest session of the year - into town with wad of cash and completed all my xmas shopping in the record time of 2 hrs. That's surely a PB worthy of a trophy. (good luck with yours Hilly!) Now I won't have to set foot in a shopping centre 'til January, yippee.
Why: done nothing re xmas until today.
Off for sanity restoring 4.5 miler later, 10 k race tomorrow, first race since August.
Last hard: Thurs night 8 miler in Dewsbury, Mike S, that was this week's Helsby session.
Last rest: yesterday.
Bye for now.
Good luck MikeB and all other racers.
I'm not really training for anything at the moment as I'm waiting till the New Year to start the serious mileage build up towards my next marathon.
I'll probably run 10-12 miles early tomorrow as I like to keep a Half Marathon base fitness level these days.
Christmas shopping all done, wrapping all done - good job Mrs D is highly organised!!!
What : 5 miles easy with some 100m strides
Why : Tadley 5.3m muddy xc tomorrow
Good luck all weekend racers look forward to reading about the endeavours tomorrow!
What: 5.5m steady (60% of whr)
Why: BT
Last rest: 17 days
Last hard: 35 days
7 day cumulative: 41m
Excellent, that run was done at an average of 138 bpm and for the first time in this BT my pace hit 7:15 per mile.
Roll on tomorrow morning in Richmond Park.
Have a good day all and good luck to all those racing this weekend.
Stickless-wish you well in getting rid of your head/neckache. It must be very uncomfortable. Well done on your run!
Laura-I was in town 41/2 hrs and I've just about got all my presents except one or two, so another trip in needed
Good luck MikeB and TT tomorrow! What is the weather forecast for Luton?
