    Morning.

    Yesterday's lyrics - Golden by Lady Antebellum

    Happy Anniversary OH. Lovely way to mark the occasion, that is a beautiful run and a great tea rooms. Are you tapering now?

    Just a referral from the dentist for me Poppy. Hope you've had a good run.

    Hope the weather held for the BBQ Alehouse, it was a lovely evening here. Do you have a race/goal in mind?

    What:           easy miles
    Why:            not feeling 100%
    Last hard:     deciding what to do next, it looks as though Bath isn't an option now
    Last rest:      13/6

    Lyrics - no.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Morning all,
    Very tired and it's only Tuesday...
    what - supposed to be 2x(8x200s) but feeling tired and may slot in an easy 6 miler instead. Mate's birthday beers tonight.
    why - supposed to be mile racing in 3 weeks, 5:45 looking more likely than 5:30 at the moment.
    last rest - 2 weeks
    last hard - QoP's elbow in my ITB yesterday
    lyric - nope

    Morning!

    Lyrics: no

    What: 4.06k + something later

    Why: collect car from barbecue (perfect weather) plus will run again this evening at club

    LMH: no races planned, although I may pop down to London one last Friday of the month, or even more than once. What are your own race plans?

    Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.

    Morning



    What: 90mins turbo (45km)



    Why: Late home from work



    Lyrics: Nope



    Last hard: Lots of standing at work!



    Last rest: Can't remember!



    I know the turbo isn't amazing for race performance due to a controlled environment. But my power and cadence sensors are telling me I can hold 35-40km without too much hassle. Hoping when it gets sunnier, I can take it onto some proper rides. Still frosty here though, so house I shall stay- whilst watching the olympics!

    morning all

    congrats mr and mrs OH

    enjoy the double alehouse

    ollie some streak and some mileage wow!!

    dustin it must be tired Tuesday, I cannot stop yawning

    lmh, take care hope you are 100% soon

    wp, man oh man 10 miles you've done amazing!

    WHat: no run

    why: tired and off to see a sports physio about the tingling/pain /trapped nerve thingy in my left arm

    Last hard: last night 3.5 mile lovely off road

    Last rest: Sunday

    Have a good day all

    possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can

    Hope the physio can sort you out Wabo.

    The turbo is good for training Dibs but not so great for predicting your speed on the road.

    I have no idea now Alehouse. As of yesterday (Mark changed his plans) Bath is no longer an option. I have a 10k on the Bank Holiday weekend and Abingdon but that's it at the moment.

    Not long until September Ollie. Are you planning on racing that one, taper and all?

    Great consistent running Poppy.

    Enjoy the birthday drinks Dustin.

    Another tired run from me, nearly cut it short but at five miles I seemed to wake up a bit and settle into a pace. Another lovely morning to be out, I wanted to run long but I guess it must be post ultra fatigue (though shouldn't that have been last week?) not that I need to be doing back to back long runs now.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Afternoon, 

    Spent the morning at cricket: very pleasant. Will go back later for another couple of hours. 

    I wondered if the lyrics were to do with that anniversary, WP, given the number of songs I have heard this morning! Still no idea of the song though! And well done on your miles.

    Hope the physio sorts you out, Wabo. 

    Will you taper for the 10k, LMH? Sorry to hear the 50/100k is off.

    I'm not sure Alehouse - I think I'll still be recovering from the ultra! Will probably load the early half of the week and have an easy Friday Saturday but that's what I tend to do anyway. I ran the last PB off the back of a 118 mile week though I'm not really expecting to PB at this one, too close to the ultra to be fast really, especially given how I'm feeling this week.

    If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

    Evening!



    What: 7.41k including a couple of harder parts.



    Why: club session. Not a group I usually run with, and found the warm up hard, with 3k on the roads at around 5minutes per k pace. I rarely run that pace in training, never mind I'm the warm up. Then did just two of the six times 3 mins on grass; struggled, and way behind people I usually beat in races. They are obviously used to the sessions!

    Rest for legs today relatively with a 3 mile kayak, nice evening but a little more wind than forecast so 'grunt' out and 'sail' return 

    on-call tomorrow so will watch the Wideford hill race; one year I will run it.
