Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Morning all.

Wardi - that's a shame re Mrs W. How was your bbq? I love a good bbq. That sesh is ridiculous.

FJ - fair play re the weights. I don't really understand all of the terminology but I have been doing some recently with my s&c sessions. I actually quite enjoy it.

OO62 - I think it's fair to say that a few lbs won't do you much harm. Nice one re the good forecast for Keswick.

LMH - 100 mpw is mega. I'm intrigued. What did that look like for you? Any double days?

Riggys - nice run! What is sub LT for you atm?

TR - another rep sesh done, great to see the consistency.

DT - good to have the flexibly to move things around if needed.

Reasonable start to the week for me. 6 miler last night and a trip of the spa for some hot and cold therapy. Up early (for me) this morning and 3k w/u and 4 * 1k reps with 70 secs static recovery. I am not used to running that early so took me a while to get going. Tempted to do another easy run later to boost the mileage but we'll see.

TR, sounds like you have exceeded your own expectations. I think it's very easy to write ourselves off pretty quickly in this game.

I might just stick with Chepstow, it's locked in and the wife is on board with it and she has already stated that the weekend before is our only completely clear weekend of the school hols. It can be a bit of a big training running towards the Great north run 4 weeks' later.

OO, hope Keswick goes well, looks like a hot few days incoming! Too much chocolate for me as much as booze!

FJ, a nice treble there with some quality mixed in. I don't do any weights, I just do my core and glute work with bands and body weight.

Riggsy, you were up early there! Nice going with the sub threshold blocks.

Gerard, what time were you out? I class too early for running a session anything before 11am. Well done on the session.

I planned to get out mid morning before it got too warm, but didn't quite happen so out at 12.30 for my session. 3K at 10 effort averaged 5.45mm, which is faster than I have gone through 3k in any parkrun this year, which is promising. Then 4 x 3 mins at 5k effort off 2 mins. Somehow made these progressive with 5.38mm, 5.34mm, 5.32 and 5.30.

Something positive has definitely happened in the last week or so. I'd have been happy with those paces in January.

Gerard - no doubles but I'd sometimes do back to back twenty milers.

Good that you're happy with how things are going DT19 and have made a decision about Chepstow (I think?).

Going to be toasty even for me tomorrow. I might be sensible and just go for a MLR.

Yes, I've decided I'll just go with Chepstow. I can at least just make it a race for positions.

Got something to say?

About This Thread

Hi

Fetch has said us RW refugees can relocate here. I know there are existing sub3 and 3.15 threads, but the fetch threads seem to be for more infrequent posters. The RW threads are more of a daily diary.

We'll see how it goes.

I'm a M57 hanging on to sub3. I'm unattached harriers so like a place to talk a bit of running and find some inspiration and accountability.
