Sunny up here in sheffield, nice run at lunch. Did 3.4 to 4 miles. Enjoyed it very much
Hope you are all still plodding or the more serious runners speed plodding!!
Last night's 400m reps went pretty well - fairly consistent times over 12 reps, so I was pleased.
Then today, I managed to get out at lunch time and did 4 miles. First 3 were fairly quick (by my standards) and took exactly 23 minutes. Fourth one involved waiting at several sets of pedestrian lights in Reading town centre and was also a wind down, so went over 9 minutes.
Legs tired now after two sessions in 18 hours.

BDP - impressive improvement, I'm wary of spped work because of the possibilty of injury especially as its I'm still early in my running career. I have 2 further races I'm targeting, April and October, I'll possibly try intervals for these.
I will try and make my next long run longer than race distance (previous one's have been 11, 10, 9, 9, 8, 8). I don't run with a club as I get back from work too late in the week and choose not to run at weekends if I can help it - family time
The sun has come out in London which made it even better
Enjoy all your evening runs!
Good luck with it all.
...and the HM has some tough hills.
DD - Enjoy your hols
Imski - What & where is this video everyone is on about?
What: Club run this evening
Why: It's Wednesday
Welcome newbies!
Hippo: Can't you become a GP? Then we could all register with you and get great treatment for our running injuries on the NHS :-)
clink: Did your GP go straight to an injection for the PF, or did he suggest stopping running first?
What: 13m general aerobic. Should have been 15, but I got Summonsed to a 2-o-clock meeting at 11:55, so phone down, dash to gym, run done, showered and back for 2. Dedication or wot? Now I've got to do 15m on Friday though!
Why: Rejig P&D
Last hard: N/A
Last Rest: hippo-25
Have a good one!
Congrats with the recovery progressing well, btw.
NG - I'd not feel very comfortable about racing a HM without long runs reaching 15 miles tbh.
Speed work: might be tempted to start doing a bit towards spring/summer. Still progressing fine without it, but start to sense I'm lacking a higher gear to shift to while my fast end running (< 7mm) starts feeling more comfortable.
I did think about that
but i really dont want to work with kids, plus id have to do another 2-3 years back as a junior doc
Yoga and a 4 mile run d and d
Re plantar fasciitits
i dont want to put anyone off-but have you had a look at the monster thread on this
lots of useful ideas, even if some of the poor individuals on there have had the condition for ages
Enjoy the weekend shenanigans DD
waves to new people
where did i put my drugs now
Why: Building speed.
Had intended to target 4:20 per rep, but after checking with GMap, it appears the Garmin was 100-150m short on the first rep (so I did 1100-1150m), and it looks like that took too much out of me for the subsequent reps.
4:32 (Garmin measured short by ~100m)
4:29 (v muddy)
4:33 (bridge and muddy)
4:29
4:38 (slight uphill into wind)
Average: 4:32
The mud and wind were also worse than last week...
Welcome Newbies.
Have a good day all
Dave
What websites are best for measuring running distance?
Thanks!!
Stickless - Get the office out and about! I think it's great! I tried to set up a Friday lunch time runners group where I used to work. It did seem to get a few people enthusiastic about running, but people turned up randomly and there were rarely more than 2 or 3 people out running which didn't do much for my motivation for it. Still, people seemed to appreciate it and a few have carried on after I left 6 months ago. I like to think I made little ripples in the ocean....! Hope your office run goes well! Surely your endurance will show them who's boss, so to speak?
Wacky Racer - Hello there - and stay safe in this weather....
Hoggle - hello to you too - "hoggle" as in the pig, or as in the little gnome thing from Labyrinth? Well done for getting out there! Same again tomorrow?
Northern Gear - how many mpw between Nov & Jan? Just interested as my training is likely to be similar to yours has been. Your planned mileage sounds fine to me (but I'm no expert!) but wonder if it's possible for you to split your rest days so there is one in the week? Just to help you put more effort or recover from harder effort, between sessions. Perhaps your routine won't allow it, but it's just a thought.
FIN - I nearly tripped on a kerb this morning. I had a proper fall in Sept and grazed my knee BIG time and it took 4 weeks to heel properly and I am scared stiff of falling again. Not twisted anything yet. Hope your ankle isn't too bad.
Peahead -at the risk of looking stupid, who's the picture?
FL - sorry to hear you aren't running, but look at you with your other stuff! I really should get my bike out the shed..... Has what caused your PF been identified? It's been hanging around for a while now, hasn't it?
What are the odds that Baby Radcliffe(Lough?) will become a wobbly little lardball when she leaves home and will appear in a 'celebrity' fat club house in 25 years time......? Surely it's worth putting £1 on?! (though I am sure Gary and Paula will make perfect parents and ensure their offspring don't make such bad life choices....)
Had a shower of hailstones here earlier. Seems to have cleared up now though.... where are the storms???
ARG!!! VERY EXCITING!! BOOKING TICKETS TO SEE ROCKY ON FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!

Hoggle as in the troll in the Labryinth! An unfortunate nickname that has stuck for a really long time now!
Going to try and do the same tomorrow! Half marathon in March so need to catch up with my training schedule!
chuckles to self. Joins Hipps in search of medication....*
Hoggle.
Yes.
I LURVE Labyrinth! I could quote it all day!
You don't want to go that way. Never go that way.
Cooooo, if she'd have gone that way, she'd have gone straight to that castle!
Ahhh, happy days! Hoggle used to be my desktop picture until not that long ago.
i cant wait to see rocky either
wanders off singing
Haven't watched it in a while though!
Thanks for the mapping suggestions Stuart Little 2!
Rest days are Sat and Sun which are for the family:o)
almost makes me want to join that club
The hard part is trying to arrange a pass for a race on a weekend....
Dave
Blimey that makes it sounds gruesome, reality is as others have mentioned, running is my hobby and it has to fit in around other more important things.
Just wish I'd got into it 10 years ago...
