Falkirk XC photos looked awesome Stoosh. Well done and glad you enjoyed the mud bath. I had taxi duties so didn't spectate or marshal. WW, UTRaB, thanks for good wishes and sympathies. I'll be back to running (slowly!) soon enough, I'm sure. Still debating whether to go down for the social. If so, hope to celebrate PBs and targets hit with you all.  G

9 miles at a shade over 7mm on Saturday had me feeling awesome, and followed it up with a good long....lunch with the in laws Didn't have to time to fit my long run in before they arrived (tidying up, looking after the 3 year old while Mrs F cooked...), and my plan to fit it in after they left evaporated after I caved and had a glass (ahem) of wine with lunch. Have taken a day off in a couple of weeks so I can fit in the missing 19 miles without feeling under pressure to do so. Good running everybody, tough conditions this weekend. |

HappyG - Awesome is not the word I'd use to describe the conditions!! It was great to watch the fast guys making it look so easy after I dropped, and staggering to see guys who regularly win races so far down the field!! Longest run in forever earlier. A slow 21, good to have it done though Last time I done a continuous 20 was 2016 GMM...

My goal was always not to get lapped by Calum H, Andy B etc. at Falkirk. 3 lapper, so would that mean being less than 30% slower than them (or is it 50%? I've done 2 laps just before they finish 3? Can't do the maths!) Horrendous, mud fest last year too, but what's not to love? Well done all on some good solid long running too. Looking good for the spring marathon campaigns. G

Depends how you want to define it/measure it, from which POV. If they're doing 5m/m you need to do better than 7:30m/m (which feels like better than 50% slower). OTOH that means they're doing 12mph and you need to be faster than 8mph (which sounds like better than 67% of their pace). Happy to help Frav - the key to days like that is seeing them coming and pre-empting them by running long on Saturday instead. Or stupidly early on Sunday morning. I don't even try to come up with plans for running *after* family lunches, because it's never going to happen. |

G - it's the closest i've come to being lapped. Reckon i only missed it by about 3mins this year Never mind - it's on to the road running season for me now and with life away from running being a bit more hectic than normal for this time of year, i may target Stirling instead of London as the A-race but i'll see how training comes along over the coming weeks. |

Very quiet here. So vicky park half marathon this morning. Slightly annoying race set up in that half mara started, then 10k then 5k so that meant plenty of weaving between runners of different paces and not really knowing who you were racing. Not showing on results at the moment but I saw 1:25:03 on the race clock so maybe a few seconds faster on chip. Okay result and hopefully a pb at least is on at Brighton. |

Looks quick to me owm, nice one. Not a fan of different start times on same course myself having been shredded by what I found out was a relay runner on my first marathon finish line. Bit of an interloper on this thread but training well for a 3:15 attempt and wishing everyone well for races and long runs this weekend. |
