yeah! The rain was a new joy for me yesterday - with family saying 'you can't go running, it's raining' ha ha, little do they know rain will draw me out the door now!

Well done Linda!

... what about Part I and part II :rotfl:.

For the record last night i was on fire mile after mile at sub 7min and felt easy ..

and all the best Evab hope something comes up for you!!!!!

and can someone show Becky a real hill...

Really?

Come on, more details...how many miles and how much sub 7?

Seems like you should be doing that in a race not in training if you're that much on fire!!!:D

Ukevas

5m @ 6.55 give or take a few seconds. 13m done in total including. 2x 2min 2x 1min speed works.. quite a mixed bag/

Okay, well if that felt comfortable then you are progressing nicely.:D

It would be a good time to try out a 10K and see what sort of true speed there is under the bonnet at this stage!

I loved it, I can't wait to go running in the rain again.
It was coming down like stair rods, the drips were flying off me.

Evening

Good and bad to report...

Good - doc says I'm all fixed and I ran 12 miles in 1:59
Bad - I must have been dehydrated when I went out - drank my drink after 5 miles and couldnt do the last mile I wanted due to the most horrendous cramp in the arch of my foot...

Some good running going on by everyone

Nice speedwork Uk and great to get under an hour Linda, glad you and B.J enjoy running in the rain - I love it too!

Sorry to hear about the possible redundancy evab - hope you can get out tomorrow and use it as a chance to relax and de-stress...

Great 10 miler simply - running 10 miles at that pace is pretty impressive - especially with the wind and hills :eek:

Sorry if I've missed anyone! Happy running all!

Just a 'steady as you like' midweek run tonight to work out last night's intervals. Very pleasant running conditions and feel all refreshed now.:D:D

Some good efforts going on today:

Simply - that is a very good effort in terms of showing how well you're now brushing off the after effects of a 16-miler. Clearly there was not much residue if you can hold a strong pace for 10 miles just 3 days later. Again, think back a few weeks and consider how impressed you would have been if someone had told you that you'd be able to do that.

Becky - Good solid mid-week distance run. To manage that after going into the unknown, muscle wise, yesterday is quite an achievement. Dont worry about the cramp, that will be as much to do with the extra stress the feet were put under yesterday as much as dehydration.

Are there really people who think you cant run in the rain?:rotfl:

Good luck to those doing races this weekend, scorgeous I'm from Bedford so will be thinking of you on Sunday - are you running at Priory Marina or down the embankment? x

Hopefully get out either tonight or tomorrow morning running.

I quite like the morning run now as it gives more time in the evening.

Rich do you have any articles in relation to when the best time is to run?
