    MrM2 nope not feeling ready for Nepal! But does one ever feel ready! Struggling to get long runs in, 37 degrees today.

    Ran 13.1 miles this morning in loops by my villa. My wife's in Ireland and can't venture too far from the kids, good mental training though!

    Just got back from Toronto, too tired from the plane trip to deall with 500 plus emails but this Forum is the first priority.
    Wel done to those who completed their races as best they could and congrats to the PB's and landmark miles.
    Last year the temperature at Toronto was in mid-20's - on Sunday it was closer to zero with a 20 mph wind from the lake to cool you down a bit more.
    Was 5:10 Pace Bunny - did 5:09:13
    Will add up the additional mileage while thee but defo over 2100

    Ooof, I found that a very tough one. Started quite slow, holding just under the target pace for sub 4. Got through Beddgelert on schedule under 2 hours. Then started to struggle but kept running, until the last hill... Walked the whole of that, managed to shuffle across the top and let what was left get me down the hill and along the High Street. So the time 3:55:59...PB By 1 minute.

    Absolutely stunning day, a bit breezy but stayed dry and a dusting of snow on the hills was gorgeous.

    Hey all,

    4 weeks without a run for me and as such far too much to catch up on in one post, but special mentions certainly for the following;
    Hobie1495 - Superb effort sir for the PB, sounds like it was a tough one - always nice to get the reward for the hard work!
    DavidC - Well done on your first Ultra and of course the 1000 miles sir, terrific :)
    Donnie - Nice race report on the Mara, sounds like you left it all out on the course. We're both gonna nail that flipping Sub-4 the next time we tackle 26.2 I know it!
    Harmander - Metronomic as usual - Congrats on Toronto.
    Scammers - Hi, it's NOT lovely to hear from you, please feel free to leave - I know a few people who can get you a genuine fake 100% passport!
    Others I have missed - You are awesome, you've ran a whole lot more than I have this month and it's been murder lurking in the background and reading about how well you've all been doing ;)

    After going to see the Doc *shudder* I was informed I had a viral infection and was promptly sent home with a couple of aspirin and wee spray for the golf balls in my throat. No wait what did HE call them ... oh yeah, tonsils.
    Nothing to do but rest and wait, so I have. It's only been for the last week that I've started to feel 'normal' again, well apart from the voices in my head (but they've always been there).
    I would love to say something like "I decided to give it a week to make sure I was completely fine". But the truth is, for whatever reason I just haven't been able to face it. I dunno if it was the fact that my last few runs were pretty miserable, or if I have simply rediscovered the cosiness of my bed - but I couldn't get myself out the door.
    Dragged my lazy butt outside this morning for 4 wheezing miles of rediscovery, Wow! you lose fitness in 4 weeks lol - lets hope I can get back into things.

    31 Oct - 4.0m

    YTD: 1066.4 Miles

    Morning all,

    Well back from our week away, a lovely break with the family and great weather down south, last Wednesday was so warm I was in a t-shirt on the beach.

    No running however as forgot to take my head torch, and it was to dark to get out in the morning and get back before we headed out for the day, but the rest has been good.

    Harmander, Great pacing at Toronto, well done Sir.

    Dubai, Glad the weather has cooled down :D , nice long run.

    Andrew, Well done on getting over the 700 mile mark, not far away!

    Steven, Glad to have you back, I believe there is a chart that gives a percentage of fitness loss over time and how this effects your pace, it is a frightening read, so best forget about it!

    Hobie, Brilliant run and PB, imagine what you could do on the flat!

    As for me, I have eased back into it now, my next outing is on Monday 12th, a marathon along the Thames next to Windsor castle, should be lovely.

    28.10.18 - 6.25
    30.10.18 - 8
    01.11.18 - 6.25

    YTD = 1046.10
