Morning all - sat here bored, penultimate night shift
What: 6M easy (giving the county champs a complete miss - had toyed with the idea, but I'm not one for giving any thing less than 110% in races, and it would have set me back a bit) Why: Building a mile a day back from illness Last Hard: 12 days Last Rest: Tuesday
Just eavesdropping to all you runners, picked up a strange knee injury at debut boxing day biathlon, few runs including a 10k and a fell run since, now wondering if i'm going to have to start from scratch in a month, (even walking hurts).
MikeB , your nightshifts sound a bit like mine used to be .
I also plan to do an easy run as I did 2 hours xc earlier following the previous days steady 15 miles on the road (in a split session with a 3 hour break!!)
You could say that I'm starting to take my running slightly more seriously!! (I may even change my website...but I doubt it!!)
What: Kent County XC champs this afternoon. Why: one of my fav events & my 18th year in a row. Really not sure how it will go, but it's a case of finding out!!!
Last hard: Thanet 10 4 weeks ago. Last rest: yesterday
Sorry MikeB that your not making yours but glad to see you back running.
I've a busy weekend ahead, so a race report might have to wait until tomorrow pm!
Good luck to all doing the x-country champs today. It seems that all x-country champs around the country are on today. I wonder is there a reason for this?
Good luck to all other racers too!
What:swim at lunchtime why:I can't run today as I've got pain in my leg and don't want to aggrivate it. Can't cycle as it's raining quite a lot here, so swim it will have to be. last hard:a while ago last rest:exercise everyday, but last run rest was Wed.
Morning all, hello soda head, hamer's hoots. Good luck to all them with leg pains/recovery.
Still not running, back gone as well cold still active, but very excited as I may have discovered cause and effect, might have discovered something that "works" to prevent trouble, and am reasonably confident it will be better in short order.
And many thanks for all your good wishes. Hope to run again on Monday.
Good luck to Exile and Big Tim in your XC races today. Hilly I hope it stops raining so you can at least get out riding. Barnsley Runner congratulations on getting through your 1st 120 mile plus week.
What: 10k at tempo pace Why: 10 mile race tomorrow
I wouldn't worry too much, physio can have that effect initially, it will be 48 hours afterwards when you do your ten miler- time for muscles to recover.
Anyway- you know what they say- bad dress rehearsal- good first night.
Hello Hamers Boots- hope you're going to be a regular, seems you're not far from me if you were doing Calderdale Way Relay, we had a team in (Dewsbury).
What- well feeling great this morning- resting heart rate down to 41 lowest it's been all week, so I will get and do the 15 miles easy, which gives me tomorrow as a rest day with just a swim in the evening.
Good luck to the racers and get well soon those on sick leave.
What: 7m easy Why: mileage building and my favourite conditions - cold and dry! Last hard: Thurs Last rest: Wed Last cheesy pasta: yesterday...and relax!
why? well i was planning to do the milton keynes duathlon but its icy and i am a complete girlie wuss so i bottled it and went for an easy recovery run instead. sore shins and knees today though.
long run tomorrow.
last hard: wednesdays speed session last rest: thursday
good luck all xc'ers (i remember it being a bit chilly for the county xc last year too!)

Best of luck to other racers today & tomorrow.
I didn't realise how gentle it would be. My legs felt like lead. A minute a mile slow.
It doesn't bode well for the 10 mile race tomorrow, which I wanted to do in 70 minutes.
Feedback from the high milers & speedies appreciated.
Anyway- you know what they say- bad dress rehearsal- good first night.

Cool damp day here in Aberdeen but no snow or ice.
Good luck to all racing today/tomorrow.
Speedy recovery to the sick.
what: rest today as I have a long one tomorrow.
Have a great day!
8m completed with club this morning. God, am I slow at the moment. These injury niggles are certainly hanging around.
Stickless - hope your 'cure' works.
HM - Welcome!
