Rich,

If you are going to quote my posts, would you please quote them with the posts I'm replying to so they do not appear so out of context as they do in your post.

Thank you

going to try for a fiver hon just to ease me back into it again. how about you?

karate is at bannantynes tonight so either the 4 or the 6.......undecided as yet.

If I do a 4 tonight, I would want to do another longer one tomorrow, which would then mean I would have done 4 days without a break. Or I could do the 6 tonight, then have tomorrow as an easy couple or an even easier 0 and then the usual 4 or 5 miles on Friday before my target 10 on Sunday.....

Hi everyone,

Is it safe to come back in now? Sorry to see that people seem to have taken offence at some of the advice given on here recently. Personally I have only gained from the discussions we have had on this thread and I'm saddened to see that others have not. Don't forget, we all have our own opinions, and as in all activities, sports, etc. there are different schools of thought. Not every football manager runs his club the same way and they all have varying degrees of success. Its the same here. We're not all running marathons. My goal of a sub-50min 10k is only a personal goal, nothing more. I like having a goal as it gives my training some purpose, but if I never achieve it, at least I have stayed fitter whilst trying!

Anyway, I did my track session last night. 4 x 800m. The rain was torrential and as I was doing laps, in one direction the wind was behind me, in the other direction I was blown and buffetted! Had to take my glasses off as with the rain and steaming up I couldn't see a thing! Still managed to do a 3:58 average (3:53, 4:00, 3:59; 4:02) so I was happy with that, given the conditions. Typically, it is a lovely day here today and I'm tempted to have a run out again tonight if the weather stays fair.

Happy running everyone, whether your goal is a mile or a marathon!

yes of course is safe chickadee...

Hypno hon, do the 6 tonight and then have a rest day tomorrow. I sadly due to my recent lapse attitude will be running for the remainder of the week! eep!

Have to say, Rich, I found your last couple of posts quite upsetting.

I've never heard you offer anything but support and guidance to people on here...And, personally, I've certainly learnt a lot and am a better runner as a direct result of a number of your posts and am extremely thankful for that. To have someone, for whatever reason, completely fail to take a step back, a deep breath, look at the bigger picture etc and go off like you were insulting them, or trying to demotivate them...I can't imagine how demoralising that must be for you...I know I, as a member of the "clique" (I'm fairly sure, after running for all of five months I'm classed as "elite" by now) am certainly discouraged from posting as a result...But your posts *do* make a difference...so please keep up the good work

pania

here here idio. NO ONE should feel discouraged from posting. you guys (and if you are elite then good for you!) keep the board running. Please don't ANYONE stop posting. xx

LOL! Still it's 3 minutes quicker than my mile time (I think I might as well walk! :rolleyes: ).

I knew I should have cancelled that meeting today

I would like to see your progress today please Rich - it gives me someone to chase after like you are chasing after Idio

I was also peed off yesterday - and I'd like to stand with Idio and Chick and say please keep offering us your help...I may still be chipping away at five miles were it not for your help with designing my training plan - and I certaintly wouldnt be doing a marathon or two...come back Coachie or I may have to pay someone and thats not very MSE is it?
