Steve NordRunner Jun 2022 10:58am, 16 Jun 2022 1,667 posts	Quote Pin Steve NordRunner I do agree fp is something to aim for, and cultivating flowers certainly gave me that. Five to ten years ago I would always be following a marathon programme as something to aim for. However, I don't find that speedwork is much compatible with fp, and as I get older I feel I need to do some varied pace. My speed has dropped really badly since I stopped training for some or other race since the start of lockdown. So I need to find out if it has gone for ever, or whether I can get a bit back!

Flatlander Jun 2022 6:57am, 26 Jun 2022 2,508 posts	Quote Pin Flatlander There is a HM race in my village this morning which will result in me having about 300 flowers stolen. More significantly, the route zig zags in and out several times meaning that every single one of the 6 trails out of my village that I run on will be blocked by the race. Either I wait until this afternoon when the temperature will be very warm, or run on hard roads and pavements which are not good for my legs at the moment (anyway, they will be in use by the accompanying 10k race). I have chosen to go out on the trails now before the races start. Fancy having to get up before 6am on a Sunday morning!
