STOOSH
Hi all, long time no post from me... Training for Frankfurt has pretty much started for me where i'm aiming for somewhere in the region of 2.52/3 given some good training and an increase in speed endurance. Probably aiming to do a weekly tempo or progressive to help with that as i seriously lack speed just now!! Legs do seem to have finally recovered from the London/fling double i did back in April but did take a bit longer than anticipated so not raced during the summer apart from a couple of lack luster atempts. Claire - good to see your back after the fall/brokenness

Chris that is super-fast for a mile! Davie - sorry to hear you weren't happy with your HM - you'll be back to your usual soon I'm sure. I did my first race since my brokenness (thanks for that new word Stoosh) last night. I got a 5 minute pb and prize for 2nd lady so back on the road to full fitness it would seem - I'm very pleased as I only had a twinge from my ribs early on and my knees held up fine although I did get overtaken quite a bit in the closing miles despite putting in a 5.59 minute mile at mile 9. |

Sounds like you need to break things more often Claire, great effort with a good finish by the looks of it.

Well done Claire - love that finish at Moffat - once your up the hill you can let fly for the final miles. Struggling with training here and not committing to sub 3 training again until I can string some decent weeks together. I have however booked tickets for 4 evening athletics sessions at the commonwealth games! Should motivate me ;). |

Thanks Chris and Lou. I'll need to enter the race again next year as I think I should have sped up more on the downhill. Lou - I'm at Hampden on the Tuesday evening, maybe see you there?

We've got Tuesday tickets as well - Julie and Stu going as well but we are all sitting separately! I'm off for the week so could maybe catch up for a run at some point!

Good result claire - prizes and pbs are always good news. I'm pretty chuffed with myself having just achieved a 10k PB last night in Lancaster, albeit just by a few seconds. I wasn't really intending to race hard (was thinking more along the lines of 40 mins threshold), but the running felt quite easy and I got a bit carried away! So that was an encouraging result and suggests that the training has been working as planned. Feels like I'm about on course for the September marathon.

Brilliant jdarun!! Pb's are always welcome even if they are just by a few seconds. Well done.

Thanks Claire. Went for a 20k bimble today, felt knackered and dragged myself round about 5 mins slower than precisely the same route a couple of weeks ago. So I guess the 10k took a bit more out of me than I'd thought :-).

Slight change of venue for me, my attempt will be at the Abingdon marathon instead of Chelmsford. Fingers crossed for third time lucky. |
