    Gosh, was it really only yesterday when I was saying how glorious the October weather was?

    Well not today! The last 5K was into a strong headwind with driving rain so a good test of strength.

    Very refreshing though and finishing was a very nice feeling. :p

    The fact that you're not even trying and still manage that time is quite maddening actually! ;)

    Morning All,

    Ooo everyone is following a coach Rich plan! Excellent.

    OKay so I did my easy 4 miles this morning - phew my legs were stiff form the hill runs yesterday but I did it in 40 mins which is great...

    On the not so good front some annoying man was giving me verbal hassle as I got back to my flat and made me feel really scared and angry - what a b*******d!

    Oooo I'm so cross now...has anybody else had this problem?

    sorry to read about your hassle becky - last week P and I were followed for a few yards by a "friendly neighbourhood hoodie", who wanted a chat..........turned out to be absolutely fine, but reminded us that we have to be careful, especially when running alone.

    Good news on your run though - I hope to get out after work.

    after reading all the talk of pacing and fartlek etc.. this is me....

    5k pace=11 minute mile...
    10K pace = 11 minute mile
    marathon pace = 11 minute mile...

    A plod? me? naaaah? surely not. my theory is as long as i get round and i feel comfortable then that is fine by me! anything more technical than that and i don't have a clue!! ;)
