Got a 21 miler in on Sunday and have now got rid of my pre booked inddor races (1500 and 3000, 2 PBs though :p) and can concentrate on my plan ahead. I need to trust in my plan though I have no confidence in myself, but plan is being follwed well so far.

Training is going well so far, though i seem to be having fueling issues which causes me to stop mid-workout. The speed seems to be there, i just need to sort out the endurance and fueling.

I'm still struggling with my achilles and so I'm a certain DNS for Manchester now. JDA would you take me off the sidebar please - it only hurts more to see the original target up there. Thanks!

Little Miss Happy Jan 2020 12:43pm, 22 Jan 2020 1,908 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Sorry to hear that WW. I'm building the miles at the moment but both knees are a little niggly and I'm paranoid. I know it sounds dramatic but I can't see me getting back to the halcyon days/times of 2018. I'm trying to focus on the fact that I can still run and I'm still quite fast for an old woman, just not as fast as I was. That's the trouble with plans and work Keith:-)

Maybe a bit slower as there was a 6:48 in there. Summary is that I am not quite where I would like to be.

icenutter Jan 2020 8:17pm, 22 Jan 2020 330 posts	0 icenutter Terrible long run for me on Friday, was supposed to be 21k with 13k at marathon pace. Could hardly raise myself above a canter, was cold, then later on hot and sweaty. Go it done though in the end. Put then on Sunday (15k easy) I set a PB on a route i've used a few times, then on Tuesday I had a cracking session with my club. So I've no idea where I am fitness wise really haha.
