Derby Tup 20 May 5:08pm, 20 May 2025 72,275 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup When it’s Wednesday evening and the club won’t have a team to run without you things might look a bit different My partner was very strong on the flat but hadn’t done much of the uphill walking regular or experienced fellrunners kind of take for granted. We were actually well matched. Dare I say it I was well up for it and had a for me good run. Having a pair of wily old buggers from a local club just behind us encouraged me too, especially as one of them is a mate

Managed the club Friday run, then went out with a friend who keeps up a pretty good pace while jeffing on Sunday. I think that was a good choice after Friday's efforts. Managed 12k of undulating trails yesterday.
LazyDaisy 29 May 7:53pm, 29 May 2025 41,778 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy That's the trouble with holidays, isn't it FP - it breaks the routine of regular running and it can take a while to get back to it. It's only in the last couple of weeks that I've started to get back to the weekly mileage I was doing week in week out not a few years ago. I'm having to stop myself settling for a short run - I kid myself that it's worthwhile but really, unless I do a proper intervals session (and I haven't done one of those for months) too many short runs don't help in maintaining my running fitness.
