OuchOuch
I've only been stung by race entry fees - boom boom.
The weather - like Ger's in the CI - has been wonderful here, clear, warm, sunny & dry. Had a few days running in vests or on the Wednesday club run, vest off!
TR - I ran earlier with a mate who lives in Plymouth, and knows the 2.48 LM V60 guy, Graham. He came to running late or doesn't do that many miles, a genetic phenomena. Two other guys ran London faster than I run Newport, so awaiting being 4th in a few weeks, but hoping to go a bit quicker at Dorney Lake in August or Abingdon in October.

LMH - good point don't destroy your knees on the hills
Gerard - what pace is 40min ? 6.30s ? I would like to think I'm heading towards that for 10m/HM but who knows?
Ouchie - vest ! I had long sleeves, hat and gloves on this morning, it was well down in the single digit temps.

TR.. from my younger day a sub 40 10k is 6.20-6.25 pace. My half PB (1.24.57) is 6.29 pace. Tommy Hughes is still running, he's a V65 now. 2.36 & 2.45 for 2 marathons last year, his 2.30 is from 2022.
OO.. Best of luck keeping near the top of the rankings.
LMH.. the sun returned today so got out for a pleasant 5.3m. Parkrun tomorrow plus a few miles added on. Looks like we might see some rain by next weekend.

Ger, you must give off some chemical that drives them mad to sting you like that.
My lad has just turned 15 and he's been mad about the gym for last 6 months or so.
Ouchouch, you're the running version of Ed Sheeran when he releases multiple tracks at same time. Dominating the rankings!
Tr, seems like we are operating two different running climates at present. The morning runners are still in winter and the rest of us are in summer running lunchtime and beyond.
How long are you away, LMH?
Wardi, they sound a bit more reasonable in York than Worcester race course. Won't get near there that close to race time. Enjoy parkrun.
A triple day yesterday starting with a smash in spin, then 30 min s and c flowed by 8m.
Today was a session of 3.5m at threshold which I got done at lunchtime, averaged 5.56mm which was pleasing in sun and still carrying fatigue.
Needed that today, not performed well in a session or race since I had that crap session 2.5 weeks before London. Started to wonder if I'd somehow lost fitness.
Also been Conscious that it's now a year since I last ran a pb of any sort which is the longest I've gone in about 8 years.

Wardi - 6.20s m8ght be doable then after super hilly 6.40s last week who knows, I run to effort anyway
DT - good work today. I'm one of the few on here these days that has a run start time of 6:XX. That's why warm London days are a stock for early doors coastal runners. Weekend long runs are the days I get to run in the warm at any effort. But it makes autumn marathons a better idea.

DT19 - unfortunately the afternoon's have been just as chilly and windy here. I was due to go home today but it's been postponed until tomorrow.
Just did 4 miles yesterday as it was my 5th day running a row. Everything is still working so far so trying to decide how far to go today. It's a bit less windy. Only on 36 miles for the week so far. Original plan was to try to increase the mileage starting with tomorrow's run but that will be here now so first chance for an easier longer one will be Monday (hopefully in more conducive weather too).
