Get better soon Bob. Yes, Edinburgh is a disappointment, I was running half marathon with 5 workmates, 4 who have never done a half before, so it going to be fun seeing them at the end. Well at least the end is in sight now, roll on autumn marathons. |

I had a great confidence boosting training run at the weekend. After injury and loss of motivation in Oct 2017, I only managed an average of 1000 miles for the following 3 years. But upped my game in October last year and now I'm back on it. 20 miles in 2:06, ave 6:16 p/mi. With a 10k MP session in 36:56 in the middle. Now if there is a race I can enter I will be delighted.

That’s great news damo and cracking pace for a training run. A few more weeks of tuning up and then some races in April? |

Started a 16 week block today, for what will be my first mara in years (if it goes ahead...) -- lots of miles to put in but fairly excited all the same!

The buzz is back! My mini plan is just to get back running having not really had a good block for a while. Last year started well then no races :(. Keeping the miles ticking over, few sessions and see what the year brings. Like a sub 72.30 for a Champs start for London in 2022. Think thats the main aim. |

Yeah same here I'm raring to get going, though summer is usually a bit of a fallow period for me. I expect to be looking out for events in late spring....

A sub 72:30 would be amazing James - was it you that ran the sub 15min 5k 2019/2020?If I could get a sub 75 half this year it would be another tick off my wish list. The group mojo seems to be back 😜 |

Great plans guys. I seem to have lost the motivation for road racing ... but maybe it will return if we have some races. I've only once run sub 72:30 for HM (although that was with a sub 71:30 ;)). So I think that my champs days are over. Shame as one of best was off the start with James in 2016. So maybe never say never again ... But first I've got to kick this gout. Ankle swelling is coming down so time to hit the hills. |
