Finally got back in to my high heels for work today so legs are back to normal. I remember Santa at Inversnaid telling me to use the portaloo instead of the posh hotel toilets!

_andy May 2014 12:13pm, 2 May 2014 9,446 posts	_andy I'm sure that having several hours off during the day made all the difference Mike. My longest runs in 2014 were a 30 miler in January (whw training w/e), 18 miles a couple of times (Feb/April), plus the D33 (March). With less than 25 miles a week averaged over the previous six months, that explains why I was an hour slower for my Flng this year. Yup, that training does make a difference. For a more sensible answer to Stoosh, my better race results have come from just over 40 miles a week, with every run just being longer - a week of 10 to 15 mile runs on most days - but it all comes down to finding/making the time with everything else in life.

RedWineRunner May 2014 2:06pm, 4 May 2014 825 posts	RedWineRunner Hmm, well there's no point in speculating I guess. We'll know soon enough. In other news I've finally pulled my finger out and finished my race report - redwinerunner.co.uk
