Club run last night, I had planned on a 5.5 mile easy run, turned into 7.3 and didn't feel very easy, not ideal for the day after ! Girl who took the lead instead of me is desperate to get to 1500 miles for the year so wanted more!
Vicki and Andy, do you people not know the meaning of the word RECOVERY? After a marathon this generally involves NOT RUNNING!
I have no plans to run this week at all. Besides the planned rest I also have a sore spot on the side of my foot. Think the shopping caused it rather than the marathon, but it hurts to walk right now, so running wouldn't be on the cards anyway.
Doing Clowne half marathon tomorrow mate, and edwinstowe 10km next week, but not really racing them that hard. Next race to prepare and train for will be Brass Monkey 24th Jan. Will probably go for a couple of mile heavy weeks to start the year and ease off for the week of the race. Each of the heavy weeks will have at least one 10+ mile runs, a 6-7 mile quick pace run and a fast interval session, along with a couple of steady or easy runs.
Mr K, i know you do a lot of races, probably more than me, do you pick out the more important ones and aim for them or try and treat them all the same?

Felt a lot easier today, 5.8 miles at 7:15 pace.
Yesterday's pace was 8:30 ish and felt loads harder.
I'm jut off for my recovery run at the club, then back home for fishcake sarnies
Food of the gods!

CC2, Kate from my club (3rd lady) was out tonight doing hill reps with us!
Mad, I tell you.
I've ran 1 mile the day after both of the marathons I've done and a few miles a few days later and it was laughable.
I think I'm about 20 odd miles from 1500 this year. Might cross it at Thirsk.
I felt much better after my bimble around last night, and my legs feel fine this morning
Peter, one of the lads from my club who ran on Sunday, finished the session in 2nd place last night
No, I'm doing Crüxshadows and W.A.S.P this weekend!
well thats confused me
will you be winning again ?
That'll be me age then !
W.A.S.P are crinkly rockers now, their prime was in the 80s.
<< crinkly rockers ???? - mutter, mutter . . . . >> Is that like, the Rolling Stones then?
<<grabs zimmer frame >>
THAT wasp, they must be 100 each by now.

I must be one of the few that didnt really follow the super six thing (or have much interest in it tbh) but why do you have a beef with RW about it ?

Indeed. Lager down downs are impossible to neck at any decent speed because of all the gas, it needs to be real ale
Shame that I was bothered to ask then !
