Sorry to hear that Daz. Get yourself fixed and come back stronger. Chris, surely you still have time. Things were going nicely. No need to write it off yet…. |

Cheers WW Chris - Will be 3 weeks on Wednesday since I run. Probably got another 3-4 weeks to go before I can even think about getting out. |

I'm not so sure ww. I'm not likely to be running this week so that leaves 8 weeks training but with a need to taper for 2 weeks only leaves 6 weeks of training... Not a great deal of time to get to where I want to be. How was the half marathon? |

Oh, that's a shame Daz - and Chris - looked like you were both on course for good improvements this time round. Fell race for me today, only marginally faster than same event last year but a much higher position, think it was much boggier and slower overall so I'm reasonably happy with that. Hoping to get out tomorrow first thing for the long run that I missed this weekend, weather forecast looks good too. |

22 Miler done yesterday but really struggled near the end with energy. Something didnt feel normal but I'm wondering if it was just depleted reserves from being ill. Lost a fair bit of weight so imagine the tank was empty. I'm gonna rejig my plan to get a few more longer ones in, maybe at a slower pace just incase this is a weakness I've found. Feel all the other sessions I'm nailing tho

Jenno - almost certainly the illness but no harm in putting some more long ones in! Between those and the taper I'm sure you'll be right. Chris - I ran the HM at TMP in the end as part of a 21 miler. I'm struggling a bit with jet lag despite it only being 4 hours time difference from Dubai and that plus the wind made the last few miles of the MP section quite hard. I ran 88:30 though which was the target and overall 21 miles @ 7:04 avg so can't complain. |

Good stuff jenno, sounds like you're well on the road to recovery. WW, well done for taking the sensible option I don't know if I could have held back in a half. |

Sounds like you need a bit of feeding up Jenno. I had a big roast dinner last night, this morning's long run was a bit sluggish but ok all things considered. Even felt to be recovering a bit by the end. Colder and windier than I'd hoped for, but any run with sun at this time of year is a bonus really.

Parkrun for me last Saturday about 10 seconds faster per mile than pmp and 6m xc yesterday averaging 7:30 pace. Off road marathon on Saturday which I'm intending to use as a long training run, see how it goes to 20m then may push on a little if I have the stamina.
