Chrisull 23 Mar 9:40am, 23 Mar 2019 14310 posts	Chrisull 106 miles for me in the past 13 days including 2*20 milers and 1 P&D session along with plenty of strength and flexibility work. Hmm this distance has surprised even myself. After this week I will through a couple of P&D MLRs see how it goes. Also HR still running 4/5 bpm below what it was last year and the year before. Decisions to be made!	0
MoKenHaile 24 Mar 11:13pm, 24 Mar 2019 First-time poster!!	MoKenHaile Evening people this is my first ever post on fetch. I am currently training for Manchester hoping for sub 3:15. Training has gone well and i ran a 1:26 half last week. This will be my 8th marathon my pb being 3:26 in London last year. Wondering whether taking 11 minutes off my pb is likely given the above.	0
