Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Just cut it to a level that ou are happy with.
10 miles might be enough, even less if necessary, but you just need the long slow bit and its all relative.
At 10mm, 12 miles would be two hours. Two hours is plenty unless you are training up.

Dont ditch the LSR, just tailor it to your needs.

It's the time that does me, not the distance.

Probably best. Might even be worth touching it down to 2:30 next week, see how I respond the day after.

I'm just hoping today's pile of poo was down to not recovering from yesterday. I had a bad one last Saturday as well. I've no idea why for that one.

Everyone has a bad run from time to time, it is part of the running game.
