Morning!
Late start!
Lyrics: One fine day I'm gonna be the one to make you understand
What: a run of some description plus stretches
Why: consistent consistency

Ale - thanks for the link, will have a read
What - easy run, walk a fell, eat too much
Why - on holiday
last rest - 11 days
last hard - yesterday. 7 miles undulating then 7 mile coastal walk in grim weather from St Bees up to Whitehaven
No run today I needed more sleep and we have torrential rain all day so I opted for a rest day I have run 5 days on the bounce.
What: Abs/weights/walk to village
Why: Weather
Last hard: Tiredness and weather
Lyrics; Yes
Last rest : Today.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Passed on planned swim and likely won't run today (forecast to get worse). Gales forecast for weekend and XC may be deferred.
Lyrics certainly not today!
Yesterday's lyrics - One Step Closer - U2.
Don't worry about obscure lyrics Hazel. That is warm - please send some over though you can keep the wind. I could have done without the instant return to work stress but not much I can do about it.
That is a very small creepie OH.
Els - I bet your friends would rather run with you than without. I find it really difficult when I offer to run with someone and they tell me they can't run with me because I'm 'too fast' - I can run slower. I don't want every run to be fast and I definitely do want their company or I wouldn't ask. Ten miles is a lot further than me. Online cpd here too :-(
I love an out of season holiday walk Dustin - even in the rain. Hope refuelling options are good.
Sounds sensible Poppy.
What do you have planned for today chicksta?
Hope you have better weather than us Alehouse.
My knee and hip are definitely not happy after yesterday's run. Hoping they will settle before tomorrow.
Missed out on our Lakes trip this year Dustin, enjoy it even if wet!
Still pouring here, debating a v wet walk up the hill in waterproofs, will run later...though weather is only set to get worse!
Soup and granola made, it's a day for hot soup!
CPD last night was good but I was a bit squeamish for David Nott's illustrations! This morning's local CPD less good! Don't even know why I'm doing it just now - was hoping to offer to do some clinics etc but the mood seems v poor locally and not sure I can handle the stress of that currently!
Hope you're all dryer than here!
Damp but warm here: 16 degrees plus heavy drizzle, and due to the latter I wore too much! No wind to speak of.
re lyrics: yes, chosen because of sad news, Hazel. And every runner knows these OH, for it is what we do! Second line, given that the title is in the first!
What: 40 plus minutes on trails including part of two parkruns run in the opposite direction to the "race"
Why: fairly easy day. Legs felt a bit battered to start with, and then had to hold myself back.
Can you walk today after yesterday's track, Wabo? And how far to go now on LEJOG?
Bumped into an ex-colleague who now runs his own outdoor adventure firm, largely based on canoeing (Messing about on the Mersey Ltd): has had almost no business since March as his main clients are schools, corporate business days, children's (and adult) birthday parties etc. Can't see him surviving although he sounded remarkably optimistic. Full diary last year, nothing in it this year.
I though 12 degrees here was warm
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
So blessed that the last three runs I did was with Jnr, Mrs RFJ and Miss RFJ.
Thanks for all the support and encouragement, so much appreciated
Chick that's warm...Enjoy!
Rain much less but cold wind now but had short run with Peter.
Arlene I'm no expert but my advice would be to slow down on the hills until they become easier....they will in time!
Arlene - I'm not sure what a grade 3-4 hill is but you should shorten your stride when running uphill. I don't think any of us were taught to run or look particularly pretty when we do so - please don't worry about that. Re-reading your post it does sound as though you may be over using your quads, your glutes should ideally be doing a lot of the work especially running uphill. It might be worth trying regular quad stretching, some glute exercises like bridges and slowing down whilst you're building distance. Hope some of that helps - and feel free to join in and post every day to let us know how you're getting on.
I managed to find a mostly drizzly rather than outright wet window chicksta. Sounds as though your weather has improved a lot - hope it continues for the rest of your holiday.
Glad you and Peter were able to get out Els.
Evening!
Memorable pics, RFJ! Keep us posted!
Arlene, a few things! First of all, I think you need to have posted at least ten comments before you can start a thread. So keep posting!
Secondly, this is the "daily thread":
Someone, anyone, starts the thread each day using a line or two from a song, usually the first line unless that contains the title. Everyone has to say whether they know the lyrics or not, but don’t actually say what they are. The answer is revealed at the end of the day, or more usually, the next day. Where possible the lyrics have a degree of topicality.
People also say:
What: as in what training is planned
Why: that training will happen
Some add:
Last hard: noting a particularly hard run
Last rest: last rest day
Often people will comment on other things that they plan to do, or the weather!
Feel free to join us!
Third: would be good to see what your typical week looks like before giving advice.
Finally, I would be advocating work on your glutes, as LMH suggests: they should be doing the work. And by chance on yesterday's thread I sent a link to a few useful exercises.

And where is Chamolk, amongst others!
Yes I could run today alehouse, only a mile though. Great track session last night. Sorry about your mate.
12x 400 with minute recovery 1 -3 then 80 sec recovery and so on
Sadly I came home to discover we'd been burgled. So I'm sorry not to comment much. I'm not so great.
Arlene you'll get good advice here they're
All friendly and helpful.
Rfj big hugs to you and what lovely photos.
WP oh wow bl**dy covid is just too much
Hope all is ok with everyone else
