I'm now officially joining the Taper party! I ran my final 20 mile run this morning. I decided to run 10 miles easy, then run the return at marathon pace as long as I was feeling good. It's not easy pacing over the hilly course, but I'm pleased with the result. I arrived at the 10m turning point in 1:48:34, a little faster…
Oscarr: I don't think that Ruth's plan is very far off what I did before my last half and is also a bit of 'ramped' up normal diet for me (more high/fruit juice etc). But will have a practice before Fleet and maybe my last 20 miler. Totally agree though. Just got in and showered from my sandwich run. 2m easy (10:30-9:45) 4…
Just caught up on all of the postings. Well done on all of the runs everyone. You all seem to have much better diets than me and as for tea consumption that is a big number! Got up early Saturday and did long run 9 miles at 10 min miles. Back home and wife and children all still in bed! Keep it up Kev
I know - crazy eh! Just you be remembering how lucky you are to be alive and able to run! And check you out using asterisks *chuckles* Hope you had a nice evening last night? If I was 10 years younger and not married - I would have enjoyed the sight of all those firemen even more! What's on your training programme today?
Craig, seems we are kindred spirit today.... After a stressful day yesterday I decided to **** everything and go for my run this morning to clear my head. I was scheduled for a 9 mile easy run and ended up running 10 miles at marathon pace - assuming I run the marathon a bit faster than my fastest planned pace. In other…
Sorry your run is cancelled folks - who's coming sledging this afternoon then? Can't wait to see the pics BoD - that's a momentous day in anyone's book. We've had to practically drag Rascal back in - she's loving it - despite it being deeper than her legs! Right - out I go for a wee 10 mile trot - watch out for sightings…
Sam - I hadn't thought of it like that. LOL - *now* you tell me! I'm feeling pretty good and ready to go again. Today is just a short, easy recovery run. All being well, I'll run a longer run tomorrow (9 or 10 miles) at an easy pace. Good luck with the hip scan. I bet you'll be glad to get back to the easy life of running,…
mcs - had to smile at your top 10 list and yes, i reckon i take the prize for senior Dad on this thread. When my youngest was 11 and started secondary school i started taking him in the car (30 min journey) and vowed to always answer his questions - have been regretting it ever since cos mum forgot to tell me that he takes…
Great work Craig! And definitely not boring. In fact I had a similar thought this morning re feeling smug as I ran 6 miles of my 10 mile journey to work in the very cold dark morning...but was gloriously sunny when I got to work and the gasps from my colleagues as I walked into the office in my gear was SO worth it . SB:…
Hello all Hope you have all had a good day? Craig - good run yesterday, hope you have had a good rest today. Hope it goes well tomorrow. Ten - how are the young people? Oscarr - must be huge mix of emotions watching your children get married! I did 14 miles this morning. Was really tired and had only planned 10! Some…
