does anyone else suffer this problem???
I am following the RW intermediate plan, aiming for a sub4 FLM.
BUT:-
I just cant seem to run slow enough to do the times they suggest.
sat 4m run in 39 mins, turned into 29.15
and todays 8m run in 74-76 mins, I tried so hard, set watch at start, didnt look at it till I stopped, Ran as slow as poss, and did it in 66.05
Any advice on how I can slow myself down wpould be greatly appreciated

Are you on the wrong schedule?
Or how about HRM
I'd only start worrying if you were going so fast that you weren't able to complete the distance as you'd tired yourself out.
Sounds like you are ahead of the schedule, so I'd be tempted to do longer runs than they re suggesting, and see how you go.
how can I be ahead of schedual, when I only strted traing on thurs???????????
Hippo, its my b/day in 2 wks, and got a sneaking suspicion that Mrs LL has got me a polar-I have dropped enough hints anyway!!!!
(As for your other problem, try an anti-fungal cream or live yoghurt.)
I think there's too much pressure on running slowly - too much slow running and you'll simply train yourself to run slowly. my advice is run as fast as you want every day, always bearing in mind what you've got to do tomorrow and the next day. listen to your body and pace yourself over the week, and don't agonise about the stopwatch.
there I've said it, I'll retreat to my underground missile-proof bunker now. ;-)
relaxes back in the chair feeling much more possitive about things!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose you might just try running for the time recommended rather than the distance, after all it is an endurance event, this is the approach that Mrs CN is taking.
