    So you did 4 sets of 5 x 400m?? Do you stop between each 400m or just between each set?

    Good running by the way :D

    Saw them putting the barriers out for Sunday today and the demonstrators look to have been mostly cleared :D

    Morning all runners.

    I only manged 3 miles yesterday, just didnt have the energy to push the legs any further. They still feel a bit wobbly and unstable but im not surprised as its the first time iv done 11 miles in 2 days.

    But going for another 3 miles at least this morning, complusry exercise so cannot complain doing it in works time.

    Rich can you add me another 1/2 marathon on please 8th august Newark. Cheers

    Yep, 4 sets of 5 x 400m. 1 minute rest between reps and 3 mins rest between sets.

    Its pretty much even effort even though each set is significantly faster than the last due to the muscles getting warmer.:D

    JJ - I've added Newark to the list. Just remember that it is tired legs that mean you're improving, enjoy the feeling. As you progress you'll have to work harder and harder to get those tired legs!


    PS Beer Tins - You'll need to register online at Parkrun.com before Saturday for the Wimbledon 5K.

    4 Days 22 Hours 52 Minutes 2 Seconds


    Its getting close now - not long to wait for that canon to blast off and start the race.

    Still haven't a clue who the starter is this year - it tends to be a closely held secret until the day, but usually its someone very topical.

    However, I'm still plumping for Tony Blair - he likes starting races!:D

    Any better ideas?

    No 8 degrees is perfect - I like about zero to 10 to be not too hot :D

    I'd settle for Rachel Stevens, but Girls Aloud are a good second best!;)

    How can you be disappointed when you find out you're going to get lots more fun just like that you've just had (only better:D).

    Were you still talking about running here, Rich? ;)

    And thanks for letting me know I need to register for Parkrun. I would have just turned up otherwise (seriously)!
