Phew!! Just back from my club night, got put in with the fastest lads, we did Thursdays hilly course backwards with an extra 3/4 mile thrown in for good measure...
Didn't notice how many down hill sections there were on Thursday, but I'll definitely remember them backwards!!
7:15 minute miles was pretty tough for me as well, how some of them lads can have a natter at that speed running up hill is beyond me!
Ale - there is also a good book by Lopez Lomong Running for my life - is a good read and one of the missing boys from Sudan area fro the civil war and how he sees Michael Johnson running in the Olympics on a TV in farm house when in refugee camp and says he wants to do the same......BTW love the books and wine together....
Dustin - You have a message waiting for you, likewise he was in our pics...
What - 6.14m with 4 x 5 mins (.80m, .80m, .81m, .81m) with 60 sec rec. Why - Last hard session before Gosport 1/2 on Sunday Last hard - Today Last Rest - On the massage table earlier... BLISS with the odd yelp

I also recommend highly "The Cutting Edge Runner" by Matt Fitzgerald. However for some reason not many people rate it that highly - but what do I know!
Club night was a blast - 8 x 400m stretches run hard up and down the road. Feeling a bit heavy legged on the warm up so decided to not to hammer it. Thing is when you're surrounded by runners your natural instincts take over.....easy day tomorrow.
Oh and "Better Training For Distance Runners" by Martin and Coe. This is quite a demanding read, on a par with Noakes' "Lore of Running", and in a different league to P&D's lightweight Jack Daniels rip off effort
Straycelt: As it appears that you haven’t strayed THAT far from Dragon country, let me know what you are seeking and I’ll keep an eye out. I’m in Gloucester. There’s usually a 20 miler in January, along with a 10 miler and a marathon (I’m in for that) on 20th January.
LMH: I presume that Fatman to Ironman, and Going Long are already in the library?
