HA77/Simon - what is the fit of the Kalenji's like? If they are particularly snug I could go a half size up?
My left hip is a bit sore this morning (an old issue) so I need to be a bit careful. I think it might be relatively quick running on tarmac that sets it off, which is probably why it was OK for much of last year.
Pete/Bus - Not making out that the field was that muddy on Tues, but it had just got a lot less grassier and heavier, even though it hadn't rained that much. Bit weird.
On the Kalenji - I think they'll be fine for taking some of the miles off the Hupana. So primarily for the days like yesterday, just to and from work, around 6 miles in total. They are lighter than I thought, so may do some reps in them, but definitely not 15 milers or anything like that. Got some new Hupana for £52 so they will still do that role. I'm 11.5 usually, but the 11's are OK, so you may want to go down rather than up. Trail wise I reckon they would be a real bargain as you just need grip really, cushioning not so much of an issue.

Stevie - I would be surprised if you can be up and over a virus in a matter of days. Take it easy ...
My energy levels are a bit higher after my sore throat and head earlier in the week Bus. I used to take echinacea a couple of winters ago but ran out. I think my supply was from Poundland ! I go even larger on carbs and sleep a lot when I have a cold and this seems to speed up the recovery time frame.
Need to feel good for a Nottingham/Manchester Tue/Wed, so will postpone anything long/fast until the end of next week for sure!
Always happens when you feel you've moved up a notch fitness wise doesn't it!

Had a look on Wool's account and only saw the Surrey half, which has to be different...probably, with my extensive geography!
The Surrey one is a source of run club bantz with our best guy, as Foster is certain it was short the year Mr Samson did it! And it doesn't show on po10
Stubbington 10k this Sunday, typically 30 ish sec slower than chichester, but it drpends on the coastal breeze as usual. Last yrs pw to beat!
HA77 - These are the ones that I bought, but the blue ones are more cushioned, so probably buy those if they are the same price

TR - Did Stubbington years ago - possibly 2000. Flat but as with every race down there - prone to wind!
That was a strange course, as it started with a steady climb for a km, had a hill later on, but finished with a real monster worthy last km down.
Eastleigh is the one I'd love to get back for, but the weasels always plot it against the 12 stage relays. In fairness though, maybe it's best left with the memory of the 34.30 pb there!
Tightwads is fair though!
I even signed up for a travelodge newsletter yesterday to get 5% off
Been good to see SG getting back to his usual self of worrying about his easy paces! Hopefully the bug is just a minor set back.
Reg sorry hear about your wife, hopefully it can be managed as best as it can.
Starting to get back into some consistency now, entered the Surrey Half, is anyone going to be there/done it before?
Will write a 2019 review shortly
Reg - never had you down as a snob
SW - knocking out pbs when half assed. Enjoy those days son, soon you'll be obliterating yourself to get even to get within a gnat's biscuit of one!
Bus, your post reminds me of blurb saying stuff like "good for runners who can run a half in 1hr 20 or under. Always found that bizarre, as what happens if you take 1hr 21? You have searing pain for the minute?
TR - I can imagine the windiness of that already. Shame they moved from the old course, I never like it when big races mess with classic routes. Usually a great reason i'm sure.
Tadley xc was the biggest race ruiner ever for me. Took such a totally unique course and made it like every other woody course.
SW - plenty of magic ahead for you with a rekindled mojo! Without any doubt,
Thanks for the reference in the report - I actually had a read back over the endure report - such a great event! A small chance I might get back there this year, but different style to last year...we'll see.
One thing's for sure, my big learning from last year would be take 4 days total rest after, not 2.
Thought Chichester was a great course, got my England vest but it was ridiculously windy. Dachs did the same race, the racecourse was silly, like running uphill.
Took two days rest. One day as an actual ill day off work.
But a gentle little 4 just then. Very sweaty. But that's not always a sign of anything with me!
Wanted a short tester today rather than bowl straight into a longer run attempt tomorrow.
Will aim for longer tomorrow with one eye on a long work trip tue n wed that i need to be in decent condish for!
Ended with 13 averaging 7.07 with my hilly out and back route.
First three were the hardest...like i was sweating the bad out 😄.
Salvages the week with 47.5m a solid tempo and decent length longun.
