Bazoaxe Nov 2019 12:37pm, 17 Nov 2019 15,593 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe 1st January Joe, you know the rules. Riggsy, your splits are pretty impressive yesterday and although you slowed towards the end it was nothing like a big blow up. Your shorter distance times are due for serious updating now as well.

puzzler Nov 2019 12:53pm, 17 Nov 2019 989 posts	Quote Pin puzzler We can talk, but PtB won’t put anything in the sidebar for a while. Lovely day here so took the opportunity for a leisurely 20 miler in the sunshine and cold to get me set up before the schedule starts properly. The more I have looked at the JD plans the more they make sense. But starting with a first session of a long run with 12 miles at marathon pace is a bit daunting.

Larkim I think what I meant by the sub 1:39 half is that yesterday has given me the confidence to know I can push through that barrier Just got back from taking the dog a walk on Kiveton woodland and there was a South Yorkshire cross country league meeting going off. Looked lots of muddy fun
