I must admit I am feeling a lot more positive about this weekend's long run...20 hilly miles, should be good practice for my target MP practice race in 2 weeks time.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys, I know I have a sub 4 in me and I am hoping the weather will be kind to me this year and give me a nice gentle drizzle

Morning all

Another weeks training ticked off, the fuelling strategy went well for yesterdays 20 miler, my legs felt great at the end thanks to some perfectly timed paracetamol 2 hours into the run

Lovely knock back week this week...:-):-)

20 yesterday, was very pleased with it considering I hadn't trained all week due to a cold/cough, some hills involved too, but lovely seafront run between Bournemouth & Poole for a section of it! What's with the paracetamol FF, are they a secret weapon or is it for an injury? :)

I take the extra stength paracetamol (with caffeine) and it takes away the tiredness from the legs and I can run without feeling like I am dying lol....defo a secret weapon :-)

The first time I took them was 16 miles into a snowy run, and we still had 8 to do. Because of the snow my legs were exhausted but we were in the middle of nowhere so quitting was not an option. I wanted to lie down in the snow and basically let the wolves eat me.

My running buddy Milemuncher gave me 2 of these paracetamol with caffeine and within 20 mins I was running like it was the first 5 miles again. I would never take them to mask an injury but they certainly give me the pick me up I need :-)
