I'm training for the Loch Ness Marathon at the end of September. I've been doing my long run's on Thursday's after work. I've found it free's up my weekends which is great, I still do a shorter run at the weekend. Does anybody else do their long runs mid week and if so how do they find them.

If I set off when he comes in from work (6.30 ish) it's not too bad, though I do have to remember to eat something beforehand though!
What is your target for Loch Ness, Ellie, and what has been your longest run so far? I'm looking at doing 5:30 (although secretly I'm hoping for 5:15, but so far have only managed 11 miles in one go.
Great to hear from you. I ran London in 4:10 so I'm hoping to be able to match it. I realise it's got a couple of hills and we wont have the crowd's, so to match it would be great anything less will be a bonus. I'm following the RW sub 4 schedule I did for London, so my long run last Thursday was 21, this weeks is a 16. Keep up your training and hopefully we'll meet up either at Glasgow or Loch Ness.
I have a terrific luxury: having been invalided out of work, I have not yet gotten back in, and therefore have the chance to choose when I run. For now, running, and getting rid of this lurgy for good is first priority. When I go back to work, supposing I can find something to do having torpedoed one career, presumably I will have to rejoin the world that runs on Sundays.
Mind through the summer months when I have the school hols off, I vary the days I go out on long runs and also the time I go out. Normally I prefer to do long runs in the morning because of the time they take (all my long runs are 15 miles + all year round)freeing the rest of the day for other things.
