LouLou Jul 2014 9:56pm, 11 Jul 2014 6,293 posts	Quote Pin LouLou I think G has described very eloquently the whole package to run a PB. And that's why I don't know if I should run an autumn marathon. I think you really need the full focus to do it,

LouLou Jul 2014 10:00pm, 11 Jul 2014 6,294 posts	Quote Pin LouLou I could recommend 5 13 hour night shifts for weight loss - really kick started my diet - 3 pounds down in a week

Bazoaxe Jul 2014 2:09pm, 13 Jul 2014 6,970 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Congratulations on the 250 rfj A pleasing 20 for me today which is my fifth in this campaign. Ran to feel and starts easy but picked up pace and averaged 8:07mm overall. That's by some distance the fastest long run for many years and I could have kept going. My main worry now is how my two weeks in turkey will impact training. Due to heat and hills then eight miles per day is my limit and at no great pace. I am wondering if I should plan in some shorter intervals or hill reps. A great two days at diamond league as well. The Chang in pace at the bell in the 5k was incredible.

LouLou Jul 2014 4:03pm, 13 Jul 2014 6,296 posts	Quote Pin LouLou In other news, I ran today and exceeded last weeks mileage in one run. Given that last week I only ran 8.5miles this wasn't hard to exceed. And, I hated at least 60% of it. I did convince myself I had a stomach ulcer due to wine induced indigestion.

One of whom has declared himself broken after a day at t in the park with muscles he didnt know he had are hurting. I asked him to note his old man had just run twenty miles and is in better shape.
