I'm in again going for 50 miles as I'm going to Las Vegas for a week so losing a few days to that, just got to finish off my November challenge tonight to get to 20 miles.

12/11 2.0km 8x1m running 8x1m walking 14/11 2.3km 8x1.5m running 8x1m walking 16/11 3.0km 8x2m running 8x1m walking Return to running seems to be going well so far no major issues, my body seems to be working its way round all the niggles during a run, a different niggle for each interval.

Hey, Finally back running after a 3 week injury break from a calf strain, starting out very slow doing 1 min intervals running then 1 min walking, started feeling it a little towards the end so will keep it slow on the return and keep up the warm up and cool downs that I used to neglect before. I'm putting in a tentative…

10/01 6.5 miles 10/07 3.2 miles 10/10 13.1 miles Half marathon PB!! 10/17 3.2 miles easy/recovery run 10/19 3.3 easy miles 10/23 3.1 miles interval runs 5 x 900m with 100m rest, felt good got some good speed in the runs and actually managed to PB my 5k even with the walking breaks. I was in a rather good mood after the…

10/01 6.5 miles 10/07 3.2 miles 10/10 13.1 miles Half marathon PB!! 10/17 3.2 miles easy/recovery run First run back after the half, knee still not a 100% but I've got bored of waiting for it, not any worse after the run so keeping it at easy 5ks for now and see how that goes. @7lenny7 thank you for the spreadsheet having…

Hey 10/01 6.5 miles 10/07 3.1 miles 10/10 13.1 miles Half marathon PB!! I'll add my race report to the many others floating around that I haven't had chance to read, kudos to all of you. After not having a great build up after twisting my knee a few weeks before the race, and a friend I was running with not managing to to…

@louubelle16 I'd be gutted if I didn't get any bling for a race the goodie bag sounds equally rubbish, I'm doing the oxford half this weekend and just had to double check whether we got any bling. I think I'll avoid Tonbridge as a choice of race next year. Well into tapering now managed a 6.5 mile yesterday without the…

Hey everyone, been a bit absent over the past couple of weeks with a knee injury that should hopefully clear up just in time for my half in 2 weeks time. My aim for my half is essentially to finish without making the knee worse. I've managed a 5k so far hoping to get a 10/11k in at the weekend so I at least cover half…

Got an unscheduled rest day, hip isn't as bad but not up to running tonight so going to go for a swim hoping it'll help strengthen all the muscles round that area a bit. @instantmartian We've made it into a mini heat wave down in the south east for 3 day temps going over 80F (yes I had to google the conversion from…

Bit behind on my updates been reading the forum when I can everyone is so busy with their runnning. 08/02 3.4 miles 08/03 2.5 miles Learnt my lesson of listening to my body now the hip is rather painful so a few unplanned days off in my future hoping its only a few days with stretches. 08/09 1 mile test run very slow…

Hey back for another attempt hoping I'm getting out of whatever mindset I'm was in in July aiming for 70 miles this month. 08/02 3.4 miles took a bit of time to get my legs warmed up after leaving it a bit long, kept it fairly easy despite the humidity. Well done to everyone running in the heat and humidity not sure I…

07/05 3.1 miles 07/06 4 miles 07/12 6.5 miles longest run since the end of May felt rather good at the end and kept up a reasonable speed for me. 07/13 3.1 miles easy run back from work

Hey finally got round to posting some runs this month, got myself a bit behind on my runs for no other reason than I simply couldn't motivate myself to get out of the door but back on the bandwagon after a good run, hoping to keep it up while I'm away this weekend. 07/05 3.1 miles 07/06 4 miles 07/12 6.5 miles longest run…

I'm hoping for a slightly less hectic month and get a bit more consistent with my running so I'm going for 70+2 miles, got 3 miles planned for later today starting as I mean to go on :).
