Morning
Confidence is a preference for the habitual voyeur of what is known as
What: 8.5 parkrun
Why: I'm starting to wonder!
Last hard: I'm guessing today
Excited, nervous, slight holiday feel (up early!).
Will report back tomorrow or later.
Have a great day all.

Hope you enjoy it emzap.
Did you manage to speak to the physio Alehouse?
What: short and easy
Why: preparation for one last big week (hopefully)
Last hard: staying the right side of the line
Last rest: 15/7
Lyrics - yes.
Lyrics: no
Hope it is a memorable day, Emzap!
LMH: yes, had a brief word with physio. We decided that running at 90% bodyweight was probably too early, unfortunately, so it is pressing on with the eccentric work with 5kg on my back plus lots of leg press work. Ran 4.5 miles on the a-g with half at 80% and half at 85, gradually upping the speed, finishing with a few minutes at 5 minute miling.
What: help at parkrun, fitness suite
Why: trying to recover from this Achilles injury and trying to maintain a semblance of fitness.
Good luck with parkrun today Em:-)
LMH: One last week of training and tapering although you will hate the tapering I think your body will be grateful:-)
Alehouse: Sorry to hear the news but you seem to be getting close and doing all you can to be back running outside.
What: 7.2 miles
Why: Body said no to long run today
Last hard: Listening to body and Lake V next weekend
Last rest: 16/08
Lyrics: Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: parkrun RD
Why: Can't run so why not
Last hard: Finding out we were getting an adjudicator visit today!
Last Rest: Ongoing
Lyrics: Yes indeed and made me smile.
Hope all was good at parkrun this morning, SC! Who visited from HQ?
Hope Emz is going well!
OH? Don't think we've heard from you pre-stitches out! Hope all is ok.
Worked hard in the gym, especially on leg press machine. All a bit frustrating re lack of running, but gradually getting closer! Don't want to rush things and have a set back.
Lyrics - possibly
What - progressive parkrun (21:47) as holding back for Swindon Half tomorrow
Why - Its Saturday
Last Rest - Thursday
Last Hard - Tues
Take Care
I haven't run as many miles as I did pre London 2016 and my pace on the longer ones isn't quite as good (with the odd exception). Three weeks out from that I dropped the mileage a little - need to decide whether to do the same now. It's all so difficult to call and you don't know if you've got it wrong unless it goes totally wrong and you never know if you got it right..............
Do you have any idea what caused the achilles trouble, ale?
Go by feel, LMH. Not a fan of textbook tapers as each campaign (and body) is different.
Nice parkrun RFJ and good luck tomorrow. Please stay on your feet
Very excited to learn that parkrun is finally coming to Germany. Must convince hubby to go to Hanover next weekend - one of the parkrun roadshow stops
What: yoga
Why: it's good for body and mind
Last rest: 5/8
Last hard: Thursday
Lyrics: no
Yesterday's lyrics U2 Running to stand still
Why: it's a start
Last hard: getting going again
Last rest: didn't do much yesterday
Lyrics: no
Intend to walk 5 barriers Amnesty race tomorrow (6.5 miles)
Was going to message you about parkrungermany, Chick!
Excellent choice of lyrics, Emz (via google): hope to hear that you enjoyed the day, which seemed to have close to ideal weather.
Time for food, a glass of well earned wine and then bed!
