Please feel free to share your runs here and chat about how it's all going,

Sometimes we don't feel like putting a whole post up but just want to share something small, so this is a great place for doing that during the week.

If youre a lurker it is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy week,

My marathon training is going ok. Got a 28k pencilled in for tomorrow. Dunno where I am going yet. Out the door and just see where my legs take me.

Up to date with my runs which is a relief 😃

Great to hear it's going well Miss W. And the long runs are great for having an adventure. Enjoy!

[C3PO Marathon in reply to misswobble]

Glad to hear it! I have a fairly fixed route for my long runs, as it has little traffic and can easily be adjusted up to marathon length. I suspect your approach makes the long runs that bit more fun.

Training is still good. My main worry is the weather, and with two weeks to go I'm watching the forecast avidly (if futilely). We've had a lovely flat, calm sea for over a week, then yesterday - huge waves! Giant white horses!! Quelle horreur!!! Merde.

[Tomas Marathon in reply to roseabi]

On the plus side, you got a chance to practise swimming in horribly huge waves, so that they're not a complete shock to the system the next time you experience them

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to Tomas]

Ooh no, that was too rich for my blood!

[C3PO Marathon in reply to roseabi]

Good luck with the sea! I hope it calms down for you.

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to C3PO]

Thank you

Training last week went well. I decided to drop one of my runs, as I was doing a trail run on Saturday. Unfortunately the race organizers misled me, posting a YouTube video about the wonderful conditions for regular running shoes. Not at all! It was slimy and muddy, and I could hardly see where I was going due to the sun in my eyes. My eldest did really well, and finished 13 minutes ahead of us. I'm beginning to suspect that trail running is more his thing than road running. One good thing that came out of all this was that I didn't tire myself out as much as expected, so I went for that fourth run yesterday morning after all.

You're a machine! Well done

[misswobble Marathon]

Thank gawd no sea is involved. I don't envy you one bit! 😱 A swell would be a frightening prospect.

Just off to download some fresh tunes for tomorrow 🙂

Enjoy your adventure!

I made power flapjacks! A brand new batch 😁😋.

I left the flapjack behind! Kicks oneself 🙄
