Morning.
Lyrics - Salve regina mater misericordiae
Sorry to hear that your back is still bad OH.
Do you have a date for your rearranged appointment with the consultant yet RFJ?
Cold here this morning - feels like -1C at the minute according to the Met Office. I'd like summer back please!
What: hopefully a LSR/care home visiting
Why: time is running out/DiL duties
Last hard: not getting worn down
Last rest: 27/1
Yesterday's lyrics - Can't Stop Now by Keane.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

I'm sure you know lots about marathons, Gobi! There are obviously lots of different ways to train for one: I have been involved with the training of three "good" marathoners in particular (2;16, 2:17, 2:20): all were very different in their approach but what they did worked for them, not least fitting in with their lifestyle and home commitments. LMH's approach, also, works for her with excellent results over the last few years. Long may it continue!
LMH (and anyone else): I read "Eat and Run" by Scott Jurek on the plane. Interesting! Long runs and a plant based diet. Must find something to read for next week's flights.
Enjoy the new home, Wabo! Unfortunately I need Andros, Zaha and Milivojevic to score (all in my fantasy team as Palace were playing twice this week!).
What: made 30 minutes into 38
Why: need to up the distance. Legs were tired initially but loosened up after a k or so. Very cold (hat, gloves, thick jacket). Hands never got warm until around 30 minutes.
May go to the fitness suite later to put weight through the Achilles.
Thank you Alehouse. I read Eat and Run a while back, interesting but I wasn't converted.
I had a very enjoyable run thanks Wabo. Hope you enjoy this evening.
No tights here Hazel - I am generally in capris unless there's deep snow - but definitely a cold start to the day and my run though it's warmed up nicely now. Hope work doesn't interfere with play too much.
I didnt want the bloody training debate again. This is why I disappear so laters.
More importantly, is it the next duathlon qualifier at the weekend?
I do not wish your fantasy team to do well tonight, so there! Lol
Oh dear - what did I miss?
Let's spread some love, ok?
Nice excuse to leave work early, Hazel. Now, where is that fuse box ….
I just run so I can eat more
Glad your run was good, LMH.
Took a rest day yesterday as I must have slept funny and now I have a weird pain on the right hand side just under my ribcage. Almost like a permanent stitch. Had hoped a rest day would sort it but it hasn't. Bugger.
Running today didn't feel quite right either. I just hope it's taper madness and miraculously disappears on Sunday as these things usually do.
What: 6 miles
Why: testing the waters
Last hard: pain and sleeping
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics: I doubt the tune that I have in mind is the same as yours LMH, unless yours is by an Estonian composer ...
feeling the love!
It's taper madness chicksta - you'll be right.
Hope power is restored Hazel.
The lyrics are rather apt for those of us in the UK.
I joked about you not following a normal taper as in my view your training is not normal. The fact is you dont normally follow a standard taper.
Given that once more I have accidentally pushed buttons so Ale feels he has to make point about different approaches YOU feel you have to make point about it being normal according to sub 3 (I even tried to have a joke with that as my training was for ultras not marathons)
I shall again drop off the forum as even in lighter moments it is obvious that I cant say anything without someone having to make a point.
I wish you all the best with your race.
I wish everyone else who posts on the forum a successful 2019.
There will not be another response from me.
What: 3km run
Why: slowly increasing running distance
Last hard: that! My legs ached.
Lyrics: no and intrigued
Cold out there too, got rained on a bit.
Hazel hope you avoid the snow.
Wabo enjoy spurs
Ale how what you want to happen happens in the football
Have a great day all
Apologies again Gobi! A simple misunderstanding! I was actually trying to be supportive of you being a decent marathon runner and coach, whilst at the same time saying that LMH could train how she likes, plus what I said about different approaches work for different people! Let's move on and I will be disappointed if you don't stick around!
Emz: I actually want Spurs to win, but preferably by something like 5-4! Be careful with those runs! And the cricket season is upon us, hence the snow and sleet!
What: another short run
Why: went to the supermarket beginning with T on the way to the fitness suite. Came out and it was so bright and sunny I had a short run instead.
