Did a seven miler this morning but ran the first hill about 15-20 seconds quicker than usual. As a result, I ended up running a positive split whereas I have been doing a few negative ones. Still managed 8.40 min/mile which is about the norm. However, I might have paid for it had I been running a mile or two further.

Great running Phil just take it easy don’t overdo it too soon.

I’ve been struggling with a few sniffles (can’t call it a cold) but enough to slow me down. Yesterday sat at my desk I went lightheaded so almost didn’t go to SportFit but I figured I could do my best and while I noticed the difference in usual performance I enjoyed it and gave it my best shot.

Planning to run home from work today plan is 7miles but will be weather dependent and if I feel rubbish I’ll cut it short.

So 32 days to go and I hope you’re all ready for the festive spirit - be good to hear how you’re all doing!

Hope you feel better soon GG!

I managed my first 10 mile run in a long time on Sunday. I need to build a good long run base and get my body used to the longer runs. The mileage is building!

Pen I do apologise I thought I had responded to your post << seems I thought about it.

Well done on the 10miler, I can totally relate to the worry of breaking again, it seems to lurk in the darkest areas of your mind just enough to make you conscious of very niggle.

I have a 10mile night run in February and Darkskies marathon again in March, so need to get my miles up.... hoping I manage the 7 today and I'll build up from there. I blogged the other day about not managing to make running club but I really have to make an effort as I know they push me along, whereas running alone or with my mum I don't get the same progression. New Year plans!!

Great job, gg. Well done on hitting the target.

Did 7.8 miles in the rain this morning which got me to 300! After such a naff summer of almost no running, it's something I suppose. I feel like a lower-order batsman (cricket) who's managed to get a half-century although their team has all but lost.

I'm confident that you will have hit the target, gg. I hope that I didn't sound presumptuous as you have been under the weather!
