    Well it looks like there may be a few of us running the Lancaster 1/2. I put my entry in only yesterday. Looking forward to seeing you there Rich and knstuart. Can we get Becky to come along too?

    Excellent, should be a little warmer than our last meeting!:D

    Becky will be there but not racing. She's a good coat holder though!;)

    Well done on the intervals Evab and the running Rich...

    Did my intervals last night and was rather sluggish from the weekend excesses but none the less managed:
    7:55, 7:51 and 7:58 for mile reps - a few weeks ago that would have been great of course so just have to take what my body will give and move onto a tempo run tonight :D

    Well done Becky, those intervals are none too shabby! :D You must indulge more often...

    I'm off out tonight for a tempo run too. Probably about 5 miles so we'll see how I get on. I did go for a lovely curry with some friends last night so I need to run that off :o

    Man, I don't think I'll ever run far enough to burn off the crap I ate yesterday - wonder how many calories were in the giant bakewell tart I had for lunch :)
  • Week 1/27 (NDVM)
    Mon 26/10 Rest Day
    Tues 27/10 3x1 Mile (08:48, 08:50, 08:47) + 2 Miles WU/WD

    That's my first ever interval session completed and what did I learn from this morning's session? Not to distrust my Garmin.

    I thought that I had mis-programmed it and I stopped the 2nd mile rep early only to have it beep at me after I'd slowed down. :mad: :mad: Never mind, I'm pleased with the results as a first attempt and I enjoyed doing something different too. I think I'm going to like this training schedule :D

    Curry? Bakewell tart? Makes my jacket pot and beans look boring!!

    Well done on a great session Simply - see you can do speed :D

    Dont forget to keep a note of your avg rep time and watch it fall over the plan!!!

    Good running simply, as becky says it will be great to look back on those times, I've got a log of all my mara prep times and it's amazing how much you progress over just a few weeks.
