ceal Even though you've gone now: I am a bear of very little brain, or perhaps a shark of very little suss. But I have got it now, thank you very much. I will def. try it probably tomorrow. Of course the hideous 600 at the start will knacker me for the 200s, I get it!
Hipps SO missis. You have been pulling a slow one haven't you? You did a 5k with walking and STILL MANAGED to come in at under 30 mins? I smell a rat. Worse. I smell burning rubber. You MUST have legged it somewhere in that 3 point something miles. You little trickster!
Admission I do Walk Bits Even in short races. Well sometimes. And I only DO short races.:
Meant to say earlier that the main 3.5 miles of today's run wasslow. I was running - the grass meant I had to pick my feet up, but I kept it very steady as an exercise, and will admit to not much inclination to speed up. It took 38.5 minutes - so average of 11minute pace.
I know I know I know I know I know... but it is still a bit eek! ish when I see 11 minute pace written down! Not as if I actually went very far either BUT I am not going to start freaking out about it, I will do some fast reps later in the week and harmony will reign.
And eventually, Not today not tomorrow but eventually
Hipps - when was I mean to you? When I refused to do an ultra? Or when I suggested you take some rest days? Anyway, are you in PB shape for the Brass Monkey? I will be doing Helsby on the same day (start is 1 hr later) so will be thinking of you as I whizz round in 1:59:59
sharkie I forgot to mention that the speed interval session I suggested is a great way to build speed endurance. The 11 min miles are ok because they were on grass and miles on grass are always slower. But miles on grass are kinder and good for strengthening ankles.
Hipps I really would like you to join me in a 5k this year, and I reckon you will do one somewhere... but can see that this Jan's LFOTM might not be a good idea.
But you are not going to wriggle out of that sub 30, even if it was a frilly Race for Life.
And are you - you of all people with your multiple unmentionables (on this thread pleeeeeeeeese) - daring to question the Written In Stone edict that Miles make you Faster. And more slow miles make you faster still? Are you daring to disagree with the combined might of Hard Training with Mike Gratton, with Mr.Pantman, with Queen Hilly, with Johnnie 'no-one got slower running more miles Johnson et al. All the usual suspects!
Do you belong to the tiny band of runners who say train slow race slow? Ah no - that can't be you - you don't 'train'
Perhaps you belong to the even more select gang. WGAF!
Hipps I did know that She Who Must be Obeyed (that's you Tracey) had pur your entry in. Just didn't want you to think you had to if it wasn't the right 29 minutes. Glad you got yoga today - take it easy though.
If you are now definitely going to be there I will volunteer my Serpie services and desert Mr. Sh... on his birthday. Can't say fairer than htat can I?
Oh yeah, lunch defiinitely. Although I have been known to subsist on coffee and a small square of the dark stuff. That's chocolate, not Guinness. Used to subsist on ciggies and JD so iyou can see life has moved on.
Yeah - if I'm not racing, I often marshall. Had you forgotten I'm a Serpie? I have to wear a smelly yellow bin bag - although one time last year I had the dubious honour of thrusting the appropriate medals at the sweaty winners.
I'm now wishing I was racing. I'd sort of decided my first 5k this year would be end of March. I thought I was getting a bit hung up about races and woould concentrate on the t word for a while.
I will be there to cheer you up and down the hills of Hastings. Great that you'll be there - must introduce you to my friend Ranjii who may well be running a similar time to you. I had better pop over to the other thread at some point. We don't discuss anything longer than a 10k here.
Well, we might mention the odd half and even the m......... but let's face it those matters are discussed QUITE thoroughly elsewhere....
ceal you have obviously got FLM on your mind! It's LFOTM not FLOM! Err, I don't know. I really wasn't even going to be in London on that Friday. I'm just going to make a special trip because Hipps will be there. I know I'm not good in cold weather and i don't want to start the year on a downer. I am concentrating so hard on this mileage issue I don't see how I can do myself justice speed wise. Can't help feeling I am still in the getting slower phase. (I AM keeping the faith a la Chouette though) When I said I wished i was racing I rather meant I wished the occasion wasn't on that day. Make sense?

it will be nice to be touched and pampered at worst
but that aint the issue
LOTS more focused Yoga

The mere MENTION if videoing my running is VERY mean;)
and yes, i was deeply hurt that you would not do an ultra;)
I dont know if i am in pb shape
it hurts to walk, let alone run
we wil see
Sharkie-that 5k was probably short
it was a Race for Life
and i hadnt started running/training-that wasnt till 2002
hm-so training makes you slower
(I was also only 35 then)

xxxxx sharkie
I entered Hasting half marathon yesterday.
Hippo
How are you legs today?
Daz
My 3 miles yesterday took me 33:40. No sure what I am going to do this morning. Think I will just see how my legs feel when I get out there.
I have been entered into the 5k at the end of the month by a certain tracey
You are right, i dont train!
Tracey-my legs might just be a little better
More Yoga today
You asked me to enter you.
)
Hopefully, I will be there to greet/meet you with a sick bowl:-))
oh dear

You can vom over my yellow bin bag.
I will deem it an honour.

THAT sort of bin bag:))
silly hippo

Tracey
Hipps
Pammie

can't you change your role for this pending FLOM? I am sure MF would cooperate. AND RUN with us.
You know how to do strides, don't you?
you have obviously got FLM on your mind! It's LFOTM not FLOM! Err, I don't know. I really wasn't even going to be in London on that Friday.

re "You know how to do strides, don't you?"
You just put your feet apart ....
and shift.
