Morning!

Lyrics: You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs

This tune refers to me scratching around for lyrics!

What: short run and fitness suite

Why: being careful/Thursday/work gets in the way.

Last hard: a while
Lyrics: nope

Ale how are you feeling?

Thanks chaps for feedback/info regarding taper, very helpful. Tapering sounds bonkers, I'm not doubting it or questioning it at all, just the prospect sends me a bit bonkers, like taking two steps back. LMH: I'm intending doing a 12/13 (or somewhere in that region) tomorrow with my mate I'm running with, I'll leave that there as the last longish thing.

Ale: Cracking result there!

What: Run later to doctors for flu jab

Why: 'Werkin, eldest daughter off school (going to Grandmas after lunch)

Little M.iss Happy

Morning.

No there isn’t emzap. I ran out of island at five miles yesterday and found a pier but it’s only about 100m long. As I’m out as soon as it gets light 5he traffic is quite light so I can run out along the road and back along the beach but there are roadworks which have close the sidewalk in places so I can’t do it the other way round as I need to get through those bits before the workmen start - I’m not complaining though really, I’d much rather be here with restricted running than not!

That sounds like a good plan Benjy. I hate tapering but it works. Keep the faith.

A mischief maker then OH 😊

Impressive flapjack eating Dustin.

Are you likely to be working this much all term Alehouse?

What:             Short and easy
Why:              Holiday running
Last hard:      I’m not doing hard
Last rest:       29/9

Lyrics - no.

Afternoon

LMH: The best rehab plan ever;-)

What: 6 miles
Why: My lower mileage day
Last hard: Motorbike accident on way up:-(
Lyrics: Yes

Aberafan prom so an easy run as elevation is 11m which is unheard of;-) Pretty tired so going to have as part of rehab my afternoon nap;-)

LMH: There was roadworks in January 2017 when we were there! I can't believe they're still not done ...

Dustin: Eat them up quickly before they expire

OH: Guess Loki was a bit bored and needed a good workout

Poppy: Oh no. Motorbike accidents are usually pretty serious. Not much protection on a bike ...

What: nothing yet, but hopefully an evening run
Why: too wet this morning
Last hard: wind and rain
Last rest: 17/9
Lyrics: yes

Poppy; Ooops. Do be careful...you've had enough bench time. Enjoy the evening run Chicksta. LMH: your short and easy is my long and hard :-) Benjy: That's why we call it taper madness: counter-intuitive and drives us nuts. Savour that rest EMZ. OH cracking result. I'm over the thousand but K's not miles :-)...don't think I can do that by Dec 31. Hope the swim isn't too bracing! I have flapjack envy Dustin. Ale: hope the recovery is progressing well.
What ; 7.6 miles
Why: Building to rest tomorrow before parkrun Sat and undulating 10K Sunday
Last hard: Last mile today. 
Last Rest: Forgotten and looking forward to next one
Lyrics: Oh yes. On my playlist

Just 5 k. It was raining but I needed to get out and let off some steam
