Lots of core work going on which I should have done tonight.
4 miles recovery this morning then a run with the guys tonight - 7.76 miles ()of headtorch running on hills, scrambling up the side of a quarry, running down a steep narrow path with slippery leaves then having a blast at the end. One guy shouts get the girl so we sprint - i manage second! Great fun!
Nice that your run got a mention NP and another impresive double!
Fantastic tempo pace SM.
Nice running AGF and Teknik, my shoes look trashed with yet more mud tonight. So many people out tonight with nice clean gear.
Another 8 miles in the bank for me tonight conditions were very mild but a strong wind made things interesting, 5 mile run tomorrow to bring the week to an end
Nice training all, i love reading what everyone's up to.
Tek - how's the knee doing ?
jason - medicine ball ?? i'm slowly coming to the conclusion you're a mentalist
Seen quite a few joggers out at lunchtime round here and even a couple on the way home from work in the dark. Haven't been seeing any at 5am though, bloody "new-years-res-lightweights"

Hello to everyone and a big thank you for the good wishes. The lake is 95% OK so at least I won't get too muddy. Am a little worried about it but here's hoping everything is OK and I can get some sleep tonight!
First run of the year for me since the 9 miler on hogmanay.
Decided to run out to see my mate at his work, so ran out a steady 5.3 miles and had a natter for 20 minutes before an easy running back. The route has a few hills in the middle which i surprisingly enjoyed.
Fiona- Nice double again and well done on keeping second- sounds like an umm interesting run
OH- Hope the milk supply is back Nice run
Tek- nice bimbling
12.01m for me today, followed by a warm down of just over a mile. Ran the 12 just a little faster than normal, but it all felt comfortable- must be progress! 12.01m in 1.22.51 Splits: 7:13 7:18 7:14 7:10 7:03 7:04 6:42 6:41 6:39 6:38 6:34 6:30. Happy days.....
Nice running spark and SC. Which jogscotland are you Stewart?
jason running up the side of a quarry in the sand was the hardest running I've done and in the dark I could not see the top so not sure if that was good or bad!!
Same here !! Jason happy days indeed you must be buzzing !
OH another lightweight here !!! don't run at silly times of the mornings either, I always pass runners while driving home from a night shift at 7.30 am and often wonder what time they started, guess I am just nocturnal after 20 years on nights
Stewart nice mileage..and good for you leading a group at your club, did you have to do a coaching course ? our group leaders have to nowadays, insurance and all that.
Just a nice easy 5.5 recovery for me today..I wont bother with the splits as it involves 9s yes Jason 9s , I dont think I have ever seen any of your splits under 7.30s
Should have been 12 mile MLR today, but my club are running a marathon training group on Saturday mornings, so will go tomorrow just to be sociable as I wont be able to get to many of them due to shifts.
FionaC,NN, Inverness leisure, I had to do a one day leaders course, which I enjoyed and picked up a few useful tidbits. The group was in need for volunteers to help out so I thought it would be nice to give back, however we were not taught how to coach people how to run, focus was on how to manage a group, route planning etc
I've only done hill reps with Craig's group, you guys are nuts doing the mast at night, it's hard enough through the day, managed to do vomit without stopping on Sunday, it extremely muddy up there
3.6 miles to the gym (I actually thought the loop I took would be about a mile longer than it was) then lower body weights. Run was easy, weights not so easy...
If I can get out my bed tomorrow it'll be 7.5miles inc. parkrun, if not I might do some intervals. Gym tomorrow afternoon/evening too.
Comments
Jason,i do like Marathon Talk but im afraid it would make me feel a bit down about no running at the moment.
So daytime tv it is for the time being
Are you noticing a difference in your strength/flexibility with the medicine ball sessions?
Looks like everyone is putting in some good training sessions!
Gosh it's busy on here!

Scotland is just about waking up again.
No milk today - it seems even the cows have observed the 2 January!

I'll report back with a full report later.
I'm a lightweight (in non mass terms)
I've never run before 7am and only then in races!
... but I haven't made any NY resolutions either!
Strangely there were no new members at jog Scotland last night, I was expecting an influx of new members, most must still be in holiday mode
Another 5 miles easy this morning, 48.4 for the week, rest day tomorrow and longer run on Sunday.
Lots of great running going on

With Craig, so far most of the runs seem to be through mud and up hills!!

So which one is that then? They were talking about that on Thursday. It that up by the Great Glen Way?

Emmy,
Good luck.

Well done on everyone's training.

I normally take the 5 mile group.
Stewart,
Don't like the look of that hill in the middle (despite me liking uphill running).
