We dont want you drinking the pub dry now do we.
Come on Wrinty. Get better. You too RD.
Best wishes Wrinty for that injury to heal soon!
Wrinty-Keep that chin up kid.Remember theres more important things in life than running(LLL ducks for cover)and you still have your health and love of your family.What on earth am i going on about!
Does anyone please know the name of the pub at the finish?!
Got a sore knee yesterday but was 6 miles out short rout home 4 slow miles try not to much today and hope all is well in the week. long run on monday?
I might try a gentle run on Tuesday ? Whaddya reckon, coach?
RD
I'm just back from a company aniversary do at Coombe Lodge, Lemonade there wasn't as good as your stuff, My Knee still hurts.
I reckon you should still rest up 'til Weds/Thurs. like LLL says' and just a small shakedown run at a sloooooooooow pace just to see how it is. If you're confident that it is better plenty of gentle stretching - don't go at it like a train or you will undo the scar tissue! The point is to make the scar tissue more flexible where it joins the rest of your calf so as not to tighten under the stress of running and cause you pain. Remember pain is the way your body tells you NOT to do something!
Wrinty...
Are you keeping yourself fit even though you're not running at the mo. When you're injury gets better you can build on your core fitness and before you know it you'll be back on the tarmac...
5 mile medium tonight with Swim coach and Ultra Fit Mate. I think that the lemonade(s)may still be play a part in this. (I can always blame it on my knee)!
Stace.
Small world, my niece - no, honest she is my niece ;-) works at Coombe Lodge. I've never been but Mrs RD and family went for Mothers Day lunch there last week - whilst I was doing the "R" thing in Reading :-))
Have a good run matey! I didn't realise your Ultra Fit Mate was a girly ;-)

As soon as my toe starts to show some sign of getting better then I might start thinking about regaining fitness, but for now I am making the best of a bad job.
Regards Wrinty
If we tie your laces together.
Question for Hilly.
You've got plenty of 5k races under your belt. What's the pb? Don't be shy, I am NOT faster than you, especially if you take male gene syndrome into account (30 sec/mile). I'm also prepared mentally to see you cruising past me on Gt Pulteney St.
I just want to find out if I tried hard enough on Saturday.
I also reckon that with some more focussed training at that distance there was a minute to gain.
My recent track sessions haven't included the mile reps. w/u, 3x mile reps, w/d. Do these sessions say twice a week with a reducing recovery time each try. And do them on the track, so it's level.
Mind you Mike's after 8x mile reps isn't he?
Well at least I like my auspicous "1966" race no. I just hope there'e a Russian linesman...

Well done oft!
I'd like to claim I share such karma - the simple truth is though I'll be sulking big time (and throwing a strop) this time next week if I don't go under 90 mins. This is the biggy for me
Lots of worries (other than my lack of ability + fitness !) eg
- pacing (anyone fancy a sub 90 min group ?)
- weather (WIND !)
- misc niggles
- picking up a bug...
Regarding the latter, am especially worried about something called 'Grand-Slam Feaver' which is currently sweeping Wales.
Echinacea ??
oft, you'll be fine, you wait and see. Every race I've read about that you've reported on you've done well and always seem to surprise yourself. I'd like to say I'll join the pace group, but I don't run well in a group. I tend to always have to be leading it or in 'no man's land'.
