DL - keep warm, plenty of fluids and Vit C. Take care. My RHR is 66 - always has been. 3 miles with my sis last night - I'm training her for a 5 miler next, in four weeks time, with a target of 52 mins. She did really well last night, 10.35 min/miling. Tonight is fartleks!
That's excellent going, Spence - nice work! When I was training for my first Ultra (52 miles), I did run walk, and I did am 8/2 min split. Problem with that is that you have to keep looking for the time! Do you have a Garmin that can tell you when you've done a mile? Happy days if you do.
I did Parkrun today with Jr for the first time in a while and did 11:54 min miling (36:52 total) which is really impressive for me . Then I did a couple of hill reps on my bike. And I have swim club this evening. And then I have a 9 mile LSR tomorrow. Jr Schmunks did 34:21. Sometimes I find it really hard to like him . His…

Not well paced, out & back on a railway path. 5 miles out were at 10:35 pace. Turned to discover I'd had a breeze at my back the entire way. Managed then next 2.5 miles at under…
Oh crikey - sorry! I didn't meant to insinuate that r/w indicated a 'bad' runner - I think in the early days of this thread we discussed this and as someone who employed it for Cantebru 52, it most definitely has its place. As Soupy says, it can disrupt your flow and I know I can find that once I've walked, it's harder to…
Morning. Rest day today. I'm sure our racers from yesterday need that too. Well done again to two storming performances. I'm shattered - looked back at my log book and 1:25 is my fastest single lap of Richmond Park since 2008! And 2:52 is the fastest 2 laps ever. I just hope a pain in the sole of my foot which I felt…
