I have given up alcohol but not for reasons to do with running. I shall report back if my running improves. I have started doing turbo sessions which replace one of my running sessions so that might make a difference too, not sure if for the best or not. I'm doing the turbo to toughen certain parts for long distance cycling. What a faff though!

mrs shanksi Nov 2015 7:13am, 24 Nov 2015 6,882 posts	0 mrs shanksi I've never thought about doing 24 hours on the track flanker, I get bored doing a mile on the track! Glenmore is a sensible 4 mile loop and varied enough not to be boring. Turbo can be a bit boring but it only lasts 70 mins and I let my mind wander

Duchess Nov 2015 12:20pm, 24 Nov 2015 6,382 posts	0 Duchess The midges at the halfway point were evil if it stopped raining and the sun came out, or early evening. I've learnt not to go up there without a midge net in my pocket. Oddly enough I can't remember them much down in the Hayfield.
