Rach, I dont like typing or thinking about what i have to do in the plan
Westy - thats the spirit!!! In that case I will revise my 3:59....
Rachel - sounds like your BIL has had a rough time. thats impressive to get out there so soon
ACP - Mcmillan suggest 8.22mm based on your 10k time
Good luck avoiding the puke bug Westy.
Expat - that's the kind of shuffling I do - add some warm up and cool down to your 10k race to bump your miles up if possible.
Wenty - proper target please.
5 miles yesterday and 10 planned for later. ticking over nicely now...
Hmmm OK Menn I will target 3:09 - Yes you saw it here first folks!!!!
Need to loose a stone and stick to the plan - Stick to the plan.... Stick to the plan.... Stick to the plan. Well sort of.
just done 10 miles LT at lunchtime so sticking to the plan today
woza this is a buzzing thread, Northender, i was looking for a flat mara also and was a toss up between the 2, the great welsh is closer to me i live in Bournemouth and my surname being Llewellyn it made sense to pick the mara in llaneli
you are right about it being 2 laps so great advantage for any support being able to cheer you on, think i will be doing manchester in 2016 thats if i am not picked for team GB to go to Rio hahahahaha (joke)
merry xmas everyone and happy new year

Thanks for the pace calculation Mennania. Looks like this morning's run was about right then which is good to know.
11 miles GA for me this morning. Definitely a bit chilly but pleased to be getting the miles in. 13 tomorrow...
Some good running going on, 9 miles GA for me this afternoon, it was a lot warmer out today, 9 more miles to get too 2000 for the year
Get well soon rachelcgen, smart move not heading out in the cold.
12 miles earlier at 8.01 pace earlier passed without incident after meeting Belfast's angriest woman driving her car at me on my 9 miler yesterday... She had plenty of colourful language and 'bird gestures' as she turned Into a side street that I was already halfway across. Must have got a bag of coal for XMAS or something
Nice yearly mileage StewartC, I'll be totting mine up tomorrow (well, those nice people at Garmin will).

Updated as I've decided on the 55-70 plan which started a couple of hours ago with a dark cold slippery LT session. Good to officially join in.
Welcome aboard the MK carriage of the P&D train Andrew G.
Glad you survived the maniac Fergster
Good mileage being clocked from all
13.01 miles at 7:36 average this morning. Very pleased with this, near the top end of the pace zones and didn't feel like I was pushing it. Now to prepare myself for tonight
Gave blood last night so an easy 7 miles this morning followed by a half hour swim. Am now aching like hell!
Have a great New Years Eve everybody. I shall probably be in bed by 10.30pm as usual!
Just finished my final run of the year to bring me to a total of 2,414 miles
.
That's a good pace Scott - I was looking last night and I'm currently running between the middle and slow end of the range, so I'll have to buck my notions up
.
acp, a half hour swim would see me laid up for about a week!
Anyhoo, on to tonight's celebrations in a break from the norm. Happy New Year threadsters!
A win at golf pays for my first pint later, yippee!
As a round up 1847 miles for the yearly total in my first full year running
Thats a lot of exercise so soon after giving blood acp, well done, done
Thats a big yearly total Fergster and yeah today's run just felt easy, if only it was always like that eh
Happy New Year threadsters and have a great night
Great totals Fergster and Scott. ACP well done on the run after giving blood,
9 more miles D & D brings up the 2000 for the year, I may go for a recovery run tomorrow to kick start the new year
Happy New Year
Back in sunny Manchester and drunk already. Happy new year all.
Wow some impressive yearly totals, well done! I was quite pleased with my 1200!
Thanks for the advice Mennmania, will add at start.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year
Haven't been on for a few days due to a recurrence of the pre Christmas lurgy. First time I've missed runs due to illness for the year so on average it's not too bad.
Will make sure I'm fully recovered and start with week 3 next week. I don't log every mile I run but think I must have averaged somewhere between 45-50 miles a week for 2014 which should provide a great base for next years Marathon PB attempt.
Happy new year all PnDers
2743 miles for 2014 brought up with a 13.1 @ 7:23 mm pace.
Just entered my favourite marathon SNOD so a good start to the year!!
2015. Started the year with a massive poop.
Managed to stay up to 5 past midnight last night.
New year resolutions:
Less booze.
Less meat.
Less stress.
More love.
and still be running by the end of it.
6mi jog later in good old English cold rain and mud. Lovely.
Think I might stick with 55-70 after all, looking at 70-85 the only main difference is the double day the day after the long run, which would fall on a sunday for me, and not sure I can or want to be running at all on a sunday, let alone twice. Will revise my time to 2.50 for now though, although this subject to change also.
Hope you feel better soon Millsy.
I also don't log every mile now, infact I only wear garmin if I don't know the distance already or I have to run at specific paces.
Our house was flipping freezing when we got back yesterday.
Better walk the dog now. He's a bit mentally scarred from being apart from his master (i.e. me). Either that or he's a bit disappointed I'm back.
Happy New Year thread. Just about to venture out for a 6 mile recovery run
Happy New Year - hope all your runnings go well
Westy -I like the simplicity of your 2015 plans.
HNY All, and thanks Macca. I've not actually signed up to MK yet but that's my intended race.
2014 miles were 700, with circa 2,300 bike miles as well. Plan is to treble the running miles.
Week 1 for me and I am already rehashing the programme. Tried the rearranged LT session via a run to and from Parkrun (17.57) today. It was a slippery and windy affair and felt like hard work; only one dog was hurdled.
HNY P&Ders! Woke up with stinking hangover after having first drink in 12 months! Only had 1 glass of champagne but needed a pint of water, cup of tea and 2 paracetamols before I could venture out on my LT run. Was debating whether to do club timed 10k on Saturday instead but decided to 'woman up' and go for it. Still struggle to get up to target pace but managed splits of 7:15, 7:00, 7:11 and 7:05 for the threshold bit.
NY resolution is to get a dog this year. Westy, I'll have yours if he's looking for a new master.
He's all yours SlowKo. I'll put him in the post.
Happy New Year fellow P&Ders well done to all that ventured out today after last nights festivities, it was supposed to be a recovery run today, but stretched it out to 7.5 miles @ around MP, it was a good run with some fellow joggies along the canal there was lots of puddles and a brutal headwind on the outward leg, average pace was around 8:40's a good start to the year.
Last night's great idea was to drink copious amounts of champagne, cider, red wine and Aftershock. This morning's even better idea was to never repeat last night's good idea ever again
.
After a ropey morning, plenty of bread and a healthy dose of David Attenborough / dozing on the sofa, I eventually managed to get out for my 9 GA miles earlier. Feeling much better now. Good to see that I'm not the only one suffering today
.
Enough of all this crap food and drinking, there's a race a comin'!
Thanks Westy, don't send via City Link. I'm still waiting for the selfie stick I ordered 2 weeks before Xmas for my son.
