I'm glad it's going well for you but sad to hear about the drownings.
Ytd: 550.5 (June 8.6)
Ytd: 555.5 (June 13.6)
Ankle still not 100% so appreciated the ice treatment last night. Rest day today.
YTD: 671 .
MrM2, I just realise I've overtaken you, what with your injuries and my ultra training. You were way ahead of me not long ago.
YTD: 682
I've been trying to squeeze a few extra miles out of a couple of pairs of old trainers. Think they're finally coming to an end. The pair I'll switch to now will be my Yorkshire marathon pair.
Ytd: 561.7 (June 19.8)
I did my 5 mile Wimbledon trail race this evening. Fortunately the mud which made last month's race so horrific has dried up entirely and I managed a relatively spritely 48:something (I'll get the result tomorrow - watch said 48:35 but it's gun time and I didn't hear the start so might be a few seconds over that). I was scooting for sub-50 so happy with that especially given the mammoth long run on Sunday. I did in fact wear my old Yorkshire Marathon PB shoes (a knackered old pair of flyknit Vaporflys) which have now been relegated to parkruns for the mostpart.
YTD: 687
And good to see you posting some training, MrM2. But don't rush things!
Talking of which, shoulder procedure yesterday, so won't be rushing things for a few days. Mainly resting but did do a very gentle 2k this morning on one arm to preserve my streak!
YTD: 510.8
Alehouse... Glad that all is well after your shoulder procedure.
Yes,...I'm trying to be patient...
Donnie... Was your 10k one of your 'stretched' training runs or an event? (Nice pace.)
Upped my distance from 6 miles to 8 miles yesterday as I try to get back to running with two good feet. Think I might be going in the right direction as I didn't feel any need to rest today...But I did! The afternoon run caught me out...with the temperature at 20C.
(Faded over the last couple of miles)
YTD: 679' .
Alehouse: hope the shoulder procedure has gone well. Guess this is a 50:50 question, bit you enjoy the cup final?
Trainers: out in my new trainers, well almost new, worn twice one of which was the Manchester marathon. Felt like they were crushing the toes of my right foot. Suspect socks were the issue. 7.1.
Ytd:568.8 (June 26.9)
I always wear new trainers as slippers for at least a month before I run in them.
Donnie, probably, if they were comfy for the marathon.
6 miles easy today.
YTD: 693
Donnie looks like you have recovered from the fall.
MrM2 signs that the ankle is getting back to where it should be?
Not much running done here last week with my daughter arriving back from Malaysia after her study abroad year ( should rename it island hopping year 😊)
37 miles this week inc a steady run of 5 miles @ 8.20 pace and a 13.3 mile long run.
YTD 458 miles.
Out before 7 this morning for a cooler run. (Feels like 7C). Breezy but nice to have it dry.
Another 8 miles, keeping to slow breathing, so no fading like the other day.
(Av. pace was 10:06/ mile and an age grading close to 69%.)
YTD: 687' .
YTD: 697
The knee injury has steadily improved with no pain after a 5 mile walk today.
I am three weeks post Marathon recovery and I am hoping to do a short run this week.
Cal - Which ultra are you training for and how many miles are you doing in the three months leading up to it? I’m thinking of signing up for my first 50km at the end of the year.
Ytd: 576.9 (June 35.0)
Last long run for me today at 16 miles. Very warm so glad it didn't need to be further. Hoping this weather calms down over the next two weeks or I'm going to have a tough time.
YTD: 713
I'm keeping them ticking over at the moment, doing a 100 mile month challenge so only logging minimum of 3 miles a day. Gutted to be watching all the Man v Horse stuff on line when I couldn't do it this year....I'll be back in 2024...very hot one this year & horses struggled.
Cal, your training for the Ultra looks spot on...no need to go more than 20 ish miles working up to a 50k...the joy and cake will get you to 30 ish miles.
JackFW, do it...you'll love the Ultra community...no egos and just so much support.
I have a potential start date for our new parkrun...but I'm not going to say when...want the first one to be low key.
390 miles YTD
Slow 5 miles this morning.

Hobie: I love hearing man v horse each year. It's mind blowing. Here's to next year. Good luck with parkrun. I'm at my local one each week, I've seen lives change because if it, both runners and volunteers. It's a great thing your doing.
I was out at cricket Sunday and my cold knocked out running on Monday and Tuesday however a slow 5.1 tomorrow and a better 5.4 tonight.
Ytd: 587.0 (June 45.1)

Donnie... 'cold' or hayfever? Moving closer to the 600' .
Hobie... 400' now? Thanks for all the pics from the coastal path. All the best for the parkrun launch!!!
Cal... Well done on keeping up your variety of runs...and a tough parkrun! (Happy Birthday!)
When does the taper start? And what does it look like before an ultra?
Sorry I've been out of the loop for a week. It's been a tough time with one thing and another...and not just the weather. I'm finding that caring for MrsM is taking a lot out of me.
One ankle has been 'playing-up'(Hasn't really forgiven me for straining it 18 years ago!)
And I'm wondering if my Mizunos are failing with their cushioning after 2/300 miles, unlike my Asics which keep giving...even beyond 500'??
Only two slow runs this week; 9' on Thurs and 8' today. (GPS was all over the place on Thurs. but was up-to-speed today.)
YTD: 704' .
Well done on 700.
