I'm sure the physio is right tho... although you know I'd have smiled at him too! Have you thought about the 3-sessions-a-week plans though? Really prioritise the long stuff and then one shorter faster + one mid-length session and leave it at that?? I know... do-as-I-say-not-as-i-do!

Kieren Jul 2007 9:14pm, 22 Jul 2007 1,608 posts	Quote Pin Kieren I was hoping the elliptical machine would get the magical mitochondria growing Wiz, 19 miles on an hangover is amazing! Do you run with the club on Sundays in Richmond Park? Have I met you? Charlie, 16 miles is fab too. That's huge base work with loads of time left. Just how many days a week are you running if the physio wants you to drop 2?

Jul 2007 9:38pm, 22 Jul 2007 148 posts	Quote Pin Kieren: not sure whether you mean amazing or foolhardy I'm sure the coaches amongst us will tell me off - quite rightly - as hungover running is obviously "a bad thing"! Sunday is recovery day, so no club run for me then - so... I don't think I've had the pleasure to meet in person (yet!), but time enough to correct that before Berlin. BB: my legs have come over with DOMS in sympathy!
