    becky, I don't think I will be doing the twice daily runs - I was thinking of doing them if the feet didn't allow me to go far, on the basis that a couple of runs of 3 miles would be better than none......but as I did 6 miles today without any foot problem, I will be happier doing a similar length run in the evenings, rather than splitting it down.....

    So, the plan is to run tomorrow evening while the children are at karate......I can easily fit another 6 miler while they are there :D

    Plus, I am not as [STRIKE]mad[/STRIKE] dedicated as you are......:D

    Hey all, well my first week of training is over...
    Tues ~ One mile on treadmill
    Wed ~ 2.19 miles
    Thurs ~ 2.24 miles plus 1 hour football training
    Fri ~ Rest day from running, just weights & swim at gym
    Sat ~ 2.73 miles
    Sun ~ Rest day from running, body combat class & swim.

    I've clocked up 8.16 miles this week :) not bad for my first week of training.
    I've mapped out a 4.28 miler which I'm going to attempt later on this morning, not sure how far I'll get, but I'm going to give it a shot :)

    Raphael - Thats a solid first week and a sensible approach in terms of keeping the injury risk as low as possible.

    Good luck with the big step up today.:D

    Morning All :D

    Felling sooo tired this morning and a little stiff but the rat race beckons sadly (Becky is now wishing she could call in a duvet day, but her boss in on holiday so she has to go in ;))

    Well done Rahpael - great training and good luck :D

    I'm on a rest day today - which is good - I dont think I could run much even if I wanted to feet a bit achy but so much better :D

    Happy running everyone!

  • Morning all runners
    Iv had a quiet weekend, didnt manage to get out as the oh has been ill, so been taking care of the kids for her, giving her some peace and quiet time, went into town and picked up some more cheap running tops from JJB. Reduced from 25.99 to 10.00 and 15.99 to 8.00 so well chuffed. Very mse and they ar ultra bright white tops so i will stand out in the evenings when i can get back out.
    Well i managed 20km lask week, so hopefull will increase this week, but have got circuit training this afternoon and the fitness test on tuesday morning so dont really want to push hard tonight as i really want to pass the test in the morning.
    Rich as iv managed 2 lots of 10km in around 60 mins should i stick at this distance and try to get the time down or increase the distance and stick with the pace?
    Well done on all the weekend races and running, yove all done well.

    Afternoon all,

    My first 'long' run since November was done yesterday.

    Did 6.8 miles (mapmyrun) and took 1hr 2mins.
