Well done Helga - you miles ahead of me (literally!).
Take it easy Jokeyhoy - I wouldn't ramp up to 5 times a week if you are still having niggle?
13.5m run then home for breakfast then out with OH and my Labrador for a 4h 40m walk
so over 40km covered in 7 plus hours today. If I manage to get my arse out of bed and run 11m tomorrow I'll have ran 100m in the last two weeks, along with about 25 m plus walking
MacPerky, funny you should mention The Glenlivet as I've just opened a(nother) bottle of the 12yr Old - currently my session dram of choice
BT, your cranking up the mileage right now, what's your fav dram then? (just in case). Remember your injury prone going over 50 miles a week so take it steady.
Helga, sounds like a good start to your training and nice and early as well
I should be ending week 2 of my 21 week plan but lazyitus means I've already had 5 rest days 
Folks, age is relative... it's just that I feel relatively old
Did another HADD test today, 8.43 miles in 1.6 mile intervals. Good news is compared to 1st Jan my 70%AHR pace over 1.6 miles has gone from 10:52 down to 9:13 (99 seconds/mile faster) - if only LN was run on the treadmill lol .
Andi hehe, normally Laguvallin, or Talisker.
don't worry I think your money is safe
my spelling cannot cope with trying to spell whisky names 
your base fitness is immense
I think you will just jump from 4:40s to 4:10s in one big leap. Also it's good that you are getting a decent rest in before you start going for it. Let the batteries recharge.
I wish MK was now, so annoyed that I had my chest infection. About to go out will not go far, but will be my best ever back to back effort weeks wise, and I feel i'd do a lot better showing at a marathon now as opposed to just after my chest infection.
Lordy, this thread has been doing 4min/m pace since I last popped in!
Did a lovely 11 miles yesterday, although the cooling breeze on the way out felt gale-force in my face on the way back. I did have a wee shouty swear
And my feet hated me because I then put them in my best stripper shoes for a night out
Thanks Andi, here's hoping I keep it up. A nice steady 5 mile run this morning in the sun.
Yeah Scott!
Where are well all in the world, I am in Helensburgh
I'm down in the South-West in Bath
I'm in Dumfries, SW Scotland.
We need a map with pins! I'm in Aros, Isle of Mull.
Nurses Uniform, Stripper Shoes - sure your posting in the right thread? Forum even
10 painful miles today so lets hope things get better
I live in a village just outside Glasgow.
330 or Bust - Did you run the Helensburgh 10k on Thursday? Good wee event that one.
I did a trail 10km at Lochwinnoch this morning. It was good fun and the post-race cakes were awesome.
I was born in Dumfries, live in The Borders, and think Aros is a really beautiful place - you're very lucky. I spent a lot of time in Tobermory in my yoof.
Nurses uniforms these days aren't exactly stripper material!
Andi: how come painful because of the speed or injury?
And I completed the Helensburgh 10km as well , I slapped Eggys arse near the end ,, but that doesn't make me a bad person ,, I think he liked it !
lol
Yup, Tob is a great place but I much prefer it in the Winter months when you can park your car in town
BT, I just think it was a hard run for me and was tired. I just realised either somebody broke in and drank my beer/drams last night or I now know why I was so de-hydrated today (hic).
I'm from Elgin, and it's a lovely area to live. Sea and mountains . Did the Aberdeen 10K today and knocked 20 seconds off my time from 2 years ago. I'm going to celebrate with a large whisky.
Eggyh
Ni I didn't do the 10k but was looking forward to the half in August but have been told (although I cant see anything on the website) its to be a 7 mile run this year
Unsure why but maybe because of the works on the front. They usually use the car park as race HQ but theres a lot of works going on. Hope its back next year
I know what you mean Andi. I am running the Kirkcudbright half on Saturday and have decided to have no booze this week. If you knew me you would know how hard this will be for me, I do like a nice glass of wine with my dinner!
That's the closest I've come to pulling this year. You've got to take what you're given!
330 - I was annoyed to find out the Helensburgh half isn't happing this year either. I was looking to use that as a Loch Ness training race and it's a lucky race for me as that's where I set my half PB.
Looks like I'm the only non whisky drinker on the thread.
After my weekend run I have decided I need to buy a map! got a little lost and my 12 miles turned into about 14.
Hello folks another LN sign up here!
I'm getting a little nervous with all the plan talk already - I was going for a 16 weeker, so starting in early June!
9 miles yesterday in the (relative) warmth - trying to make the most of a route that will soon turn from fields into a housing estate
Don't drink the stuff wither Andy
Whisky - loooooooove it
Chardonnay-induced rest day today

I think ,,Sometimes when you don't log out , and come back on it resends your last message
JB - ramp it up slowly , listen to your body ,if it starts to feel strange cut back
