Little Miss Happy
No harm in treating yourself now and again OO62.
Haven't done it yet TR.
FJ - you seem to have refuelling down to a fine art. Six weeks to go.
Good that your legs were ok riggys. Didn't feel as hot here yesterday afternoon as forecast as we had quite a strong wind.
DT19 - I think FJ has articulated the choice well.

OO62.. no problem, I will have plenty of company in the Toon if you decide to head to Keswick. My sister lives in Killingworth so Rising Sun is the closest Parkrun, I quite like the course though it's not the fastest. Whitley Bay isn't far either so that's another possibility. Saturday morning looks like a warm one! Hope your BBQ went well, we have one organised tonight after a club run.
Sadly Mrs Wardi's Chiro has put her return on hold, a suspected meniscus problem on the inside of the knee. She can cycle ok but has been advised to stop running for a while with exercises to do.
27.6m on the bike yesterday afternoon, a bit of a breeze but overall very pleasant for cycling.
How about this for an eye watering session from our club's young speedster. His mate from the club went with him on a bike to keep up & time him. 12 x 1m av. 5.15 pace with 60 secs jog recovery. He covered the HM distance in 68 mins. He followed this up by getting married a few days later, that might slow him down!

Wardi, that is a huge session! Was that essentially 12 x 1m at half mara pace? Always makes me laugh when guys I follow here go out and do a session and cover 13m in 1.15 or something. Though I suppose that filters down and plenty will do the same when I do a session and run a 37 min 10k.
That's a shame for the wife. Hope she gets sorted soon.
FJ, yes you're right. I kind of knew that but needed a sense check I think!
Yes, 1,499 feet will become the holy grail of those races. Though I have to say, I have run legs of the Welsh castles with huge amounts of downhill. My leg last year was 20k and must have had a good 800ft of downhill, however my quads were battered by 9-10m.
I cant see that a marathon with 5,000ft of downhill would be that advantageous. That's pretty much 200ft per mile for 26. I'd be ruined after 6m.
Decent miles again last week and good session in the sun. I was out at about same time and it was warm.
TR, thanks, I'll have a look. Local to me on that earlier Sunday is the Solihull half, which whilst far from flat, is not near the 800ft of Chepstow and it's a 20 minute drive and a decent local crown with plenty I know doing it so that may be a favourable option.
BBQ sounds pleasnt, oo.
Riggsy, sounds like it loosened you off nicely.
I think I am going to move my week about looking at weather forecast. My two biggest runs are scheduled Friday and Sunday. I will move Fridays harder session to tomorrow and tomorrows light fartlek to Sunday and my mixed pace long to Friday.
Mitigates things a little. 10m over lunchtime later today. I seem to have put a few lbs on now which took a while to happen post London. Probably need to stop anymore going on as I am at the tope end of my accepted weight range.
