A little later in the day than originally intended, because I didn't want to set an alarm this morning to get a really long sleep!:D

Did the 18 miler, which was the same as the midweek 12 miles with a third lap added on. It was like the 12 miler in more ways than one:
a) The 10 mile time on both runs was 1:25:59! (how did that happen?:p )
b) The overall pace on both runs was identical indicating no drop off in the later stages.
c) The pulse was the same on both runs.

I didn't take any drinks on the run with it being a cool day and a steady run, so I was surprised just how good it felt in the later stages, the rhythm was still good and stride length wasn't shortening.

So I'm chuffed with runs of 8 miles, 12 miles, 14 miles and 18 miles all in an 8 day period and feeling fine!:D

I think I'll have a drink now, I'm thirsty!:p

You're rocking it all over the place now, Rich Well done.

I can actually report a run, for once...Not in you guys' league these days, but a 10k in 52:40 got me out of the house, anyway

Correction - not in THEIR league......I am still some way off running 10k in anything close to 52:40 Glad you managed to get a good run in!

well done idio - I've done two 10ks this week both slower than that

Oh and congrats on Evab for getting into reading half - that'll give you some motivation to get into more regular training I reckon

Idio - Thats not bad after a bit of a lay off. I bet it felt good to get out again!:D

Becky - After your run yesterday how can you be jealous? Your endorphins should still be bursting out of every pore!:D

Evab - Good luck with Reading!

Morning All,

Havent been for a run today (it is a designated off day anyway) - I was going to go out, but I've got a funeral tomorrow in Manchester so not really in the mood this morning (although I was awake at 03.20am!)...hope everyone has better running than me!

RichOneday_2

Rest day for me too, but I don't start my rest days at 3-20am!!:eek:
