    Morning,

    Fantastic weather here, good luck in your xcountry Tim.

    What: 4-5 miles recovery and agonising about Buttermere Round tomorrow.
    Why: LSD planned for tomorrow, just a matter of where. Weather forecast is beautiful though, and I have chance of running with WP! Full day out though, can I justify another day away at the weekend?? But it's half term next week and I've got half the week off to spend quality time with family. What to do...
    Last hard: yesterday
    Last rest: Thurs

    Hope you all have the same sunshine on your long runs everyone, good luck with race Hilly.

    Hilly - didn't realise you were racing! Very best of luck :-))

    Laura - I'm still agonising too! :) Not to worry, though. If we decide not to do it this time there'll still be lots of other chances to run together. Are you doing Coniston? (I am.)

    Good luck with the racing.
    Today 6 miles @ marathon pace
    Why? Because I've noticed a pattern of trying to duck out of marathon paced runs.

    Afraid it will be on the treadmill as I'm with the children- shame as it's lovely outside.

    Good luck racers.
    Beautiful sunshine this morning,early frost just beginning to melt,and the muddy fields were rock hard....

    What : 4.5 miles off road
    Why : easy run ahead of tomorrows race

    19.5 mile Meon Valley (Just N.of Portsmouth) tomorrow,on footpaths,track and field.Should be a good laugh and ideal preperation for next weeks Bramley 20 (to be run hopefully at mara pace : 2.25-2.27)
    Therefore I'm hoping to run steady tomorrow,which being both hilly and off road should be 10-15% slower.
    Aiming for 2:40-45,
    Chuffed : sub 2:40
    Pleased : 2:40-2:50
    Disappointed : 2:50-3:00
    Bad day at the office : 3:00++

    Good luck all, racers,LSDers and other finely tuned athletes on these pages....

    Last hard: yesterday

    Hey all, was going to go looking at a new pair of trainers purely for running today (starting to think more seriously now) but gotten back too late :( will have to look juring the week

    Why : Usual saturday morning outings, 1st time in crew combinations
    Last Rest : Yesterday
    Last Hard : Would say wednesday but could have probably counted today.

    Best wishes, racers. Sounds like some good sessions have already been tucked away in log-books. Well, mine wasn't particularly good....

    What: Walked to and from gym. BodyPump class (tried and failed to increase weight above 4kg each side for biceps - had to stop midway and take some weight off the bar), rather feeble effort on the stepper (196 flights in 35 minutes), and a slow 800m swim.
    Why: The session because it's what I do on a Saturday. The relatively poor quality because I hadn't eaten enough brekkie and my muscles were a bit tired.
    Last rest day: Yesterday.
    Last hard day: Wednesday.

    Long run tomorrow - but the planned 14-mile run may be exchanged for an 18(ish)-mile fast hill walk if the weather remains good. Got to train for Trailwalker too, after all.

    good luck Big Tim, Dustin and others.

    what: 10M fartlek inc. 6 x 1K reps @ faster than 10K pace and 1M @ marathon pace

    keep up the good work, super-cool getting-faster-all-the-time hippo ;-)
