Morning All!

Did my 4 mile easy run today in 43 imns but was feeling the efforts of yesterday! The early mornings are starting to take hold now - today was the first time I thought - I'll just go back to sleep and do my run this evening - but I forced myself to get up and I feel so much better for it

5am start tomorrow for an easy 10K - I'm going to do the same route as Thursday and try to knock a minute or two off the 59mins!

Have good runs everyone!

Well done on overcoming the 'go back to bed' voices.

These type of sessions, although a bit of a grind, are all investments in making your future runs much easier, and faster.

5am is impressive - you are showing a very disciplined approach to your build up, so I suspect you will achieve what you're aiming for!

Hi all, I've been laid up all week with a horrible cold and still not 100% so going to carry on recovering over the weekend and hopefully be back on Monday.

I'm going to book our places for Leeds 10km when I get paid at the end of the month.

Well done to everyone for getting out there!

Okay so Rich has inspired me to post a progress report...I havent really been keeping an eye on my times too much but here's my mileage for the last few weeks (days missing are rest days!):

Week 1 Tues 4.25, Weds 4.25, Thurs 4.13, Fri 4.25, Sun 10 Total 26.88
Week 2 Tues 4.25, Weds 4.25, Thurs 4.79, Fri 4.25, Sat 6.79, Sun 7.5 Total 31.43
Week 3 Tues 3, Weds 4.25, Thurs 6.57, Fri 4.16, Sun 10 Total 27.98
Week 4 Tues 4.3, Weds 4.3, Thurs 6.57, Fri 4.3, Sat 8, Sun 6.71 Total 34.18
Week 5 Tues 4.3, Weds 4.3, Thurs 5.22, Fri 4.3, Sun 12.04 Total 30.16
Week 6 Tues 4, Weds 4.3, Thurs 6.13, Fri 4.3 Total so far 18.73

Total to date 169.36

I've got a 6.71 tomorrow and a 10 on Sun so that takes me up to 35 miles which will be my highest workload so far!

From next week I'm going to start noting down times so I can see if I'm making any progress there and I have my second 12 miler so I'm going to try and shave a few mins off my 1.59 time last week , since I'm not at work next week I have the perfect excuse to run at a sensible time!

I'm hoping that target time is getting closer every week and that keeping a note will stop me from getting that 'I dont want to get out of bed' feeling again

Happy running everyone.

Becky

evab - sorry to read you have not been feeling well - I hope you feel much better soon.

becky......we are not worthy

I am NOT a morning person - well I can get up, I just can't "function".......I always have good intentions though!

I am hoping to run with Pania tonight - not sure how far we will go.....either 4 or 6 miles I suspect with a longer run on Sunday.

Have a good day everyone!

Thanks Hypno but the funny thing is - I actually love it - if i didnt do that much I would feel rubbish...plus when you see other runners sprinting past you its a good motivation to be better next time...and this is very shallow of me, but I also love the fact its making my body slimmer - I've always been small, but now I feel like my shape is changing its amazing the effect all this running is having on my thighs

Have a nice run with P!

Well I've woken up up with a stomach upset today - which effectively settles my "should I run today?" argument I was having with myself.

Want to try my longest run so far tomorrow/sunday - am thinking of mapping a 15 miler...oooh!

becky_rtw

Oooo Idio - have you a time in mind for your 15?

Thats an exciting distance...I cant wait to my first 14 in a few weeks

That is a 'oooh'.

Getting into serious territory now, Idio. But go for it - as you know the sense of satisfaction when achieving a new 'longest' is quite something.

You'll be in touching distance of a marathon before you know it - you're getting to the addiction point I think!
