Last hard: leaving Orknew on such a lovely weekend

Lyrics: no
Groundsmen busy on hallowed turf at Old Trafford!
Well done Joe, great time.
Falkirk Parkrun for me today, 19:06. Bit slower than usual but my wife did her 1st one ever so was more worried about her than myself! She did 33 mins or so and was pleased with her first ever participation in a running event of any sort!
Did 5.3 afterwards and 1.6 before to make 10 for the day and 62 for the week - a mega week for me!
Lyrics, yes. Birkmyre, glad yesterdays were not Wham...
Well done Joe, Donaldo, and Mrs Donaldo on your Parkruns.
Birks - that's a long one for a Saturday. Hope it goes quickly for you. Ditto AOH with your CPD.
Really good ride out today for me. Felt strong on bike (for me) and averaged over 16mph. Lovely weather too and the Wye valley looked lovely. Just need to keep upping the mileage now...consistent consistency!!
What: 30 miles bike with 842 metres of climbing
Why: Bike day
Last hard: not today strangely
Last rest: Weds
Lyrics: nope
Afternoon!
As Alex says, well done to Joe and the Donaldos!
What: 8.01k largely off road
Why: decent day, although a little breezy at times. Would like to have done more, but Achilles playing up a bit: suspect it is from 3 days of running on the roads.
Joe: what kit will you be wearing tomorrow, or number? Will give you a shout!
OH: shame there is no match on! Enjoy lunch!
Meant to say, I know the lyrics: think I used them the first weekend one November! You do need a passport for this one!
Cross training: lawns mowed and a little digging done. Currently taking a short interval to listen to the footie scores.
And talking of consistent consistency, where's Pammie?
Congratulations Joe. Hope you have a good one tomorrow.
Nice to get Mrs D involved too Donaldo.
I think the sun helps no end when it comes to the bike Alex.
My short and easy turned into 6 miles progressive must remember that I'm not going to do anything to make next Sunday easier in the next week but I could do the opposite. More is not better.
alehouse - 4888, orange White Peak marathon T and blue shorts.
6 miles should not have done any harm, LMH . You'll be fine.
What: 8 easy
Why: beautiful day
Last hard: Thursday
Last rest: 1/4 (consistency
Lyrics: yes
I didn't think it had a week out chicksta - but I need to start putting the handbrake on and sticking to my plan (even if it is all in my head) which basically involves easing right back and being as fresh as possible on the day. Can't let the fresh taper legs take advantage of my weakened mental state
hi,
well done park run people
wonder how Gobi got on
Joe - good luck tomorrow
what - 2 1/2 hours steady
why - ultra
last rest - Thursday was very easy
last hard - today maybe
Was an absolutely stunning day out there today. Blue skies and a gentle breeze to stop it being too hot. Ideal running conditions.
lyric - think so
Lyrics yes. That's a big streak for me. Two consecutive.
LMH, as you say, lovely on the bike today. A bit fresh to start, but plenty of layers, and the opportunity to peel off. The big guns were away on training camp in Majorca, so it was an even smaller group of remnants (3) who went for a scenic and gentle ride, including coffee. Ride total was 60 miles including my add-ons after the end of the ride. I may have to step up the intensity to make the jump to Group 1.
Apparently the lakes are up to 12 degrees now. I should be in there, but the air temp was still only 6 this morning. Please define the boundary of sanity....
