On reflection i will not run. 2 races back to back this week and need to be fresh fresh fresh for tuesday as TTing for my club. Want to make a damm good showing!
Is it just me who is slightly worried about this 'multi-terrain' business? I can actually see myself sliding back down mountains in my overrated 'road' trainers!! oh well, i'm looking forward to my first crack at the Porthkerry Plod! My expectation of a half decent time has been put on the backburner due to the hills!
Forcast for Sunday is light showers.. Dont mind that.. Prefer it to being hot. Looking forward to it now will be my 4th race, the first I have done which is close to home.
i'll have to be careful if its raining, don't wanna slip and fall! lol!
i'm looking forward to it though, i've only ever done road races (which is still my preferred option nevertheless!) but fancy a change! haven't done ANY running since July last year mind...could be an issue!
I have only done 1 road race.. 10k end of last month.. Just been looking at the times from last year, there were some pretty quick runners there.. Hope they sleep late this year!!.. lol
That`s about what I am hoping for.. The other races I have run all have been 10 miles plus. Apart from the 10 k last month. so at the moment everytime I set is a Pb .
i ran a great wales 10k last year in 51mins and am about a stone lighter and a great deal fitter nowadays, will definitely be planning on smashing that this july! but having not run since then (literally!) it will be fun to see how much 9 months of hard gym training affects my running!
Hadnt run since sunday until today and felt really stupidly hard work to do 1.5 miles On my knees atm
Dont worry - I am going to be at the back And sliding in road shoes
If its raining and you even contemplate running I will hang, draw and quarter you young lady Running outdoors isnt the best way to restart exercise, anyway, but in dodgy weather...
i shall be making an appearance - and will be signing copies of my latest book "my struggle with a 16 inch pizza and cheese and chips(and a bottle of wine)" at the finish line!
is it exactley 5 miles or can i claim an obscure pb for 4.88 miles or whatever?

its not fell its not x-country, don't worry. When your up to your knees in mud and climbing rather than worrying then you wonder WTF!

First thought:
Second thought:
as long as i run a PB i'll be happy! i've never run a 5 miler before so i'll be happy!
i originally targeted sub 35mins, but looking at the results from last year i'll be happy going sub 40.
Plan A - get around
Plan B - aim to get round in under 1hr 15
Plan Z - aim under an hour

Depends if you are ft to do it!
Actually, depends if I am fit to do it - took me 20mins to do 1.5miles tonight....

Sooooo....
Shall I or shan't I...?
Weather forecast shows rain for 10am...
It's one thing running it on a nice day and quite another getting drenched within a few days of getting over a chest infection?
