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. It's fabulous to see everyone's training updates each week!
If you're new or a lurker this is a great place to say a little hi without the pressure of a full post.
Let us know how your training, cross-training, recuperation, running, racing, snoozing, knocking pens off tables, rolling on your back invitingly then attacking with claws and teeth, is going!
Special congratulations to our resident Panther ju-ju- for reaching DAY 500 OF HER RUNNING STREAK - amazing, well done Ju!!!! xxx
Have a purrrrrfect week everyone!
Ju-Ju, Rignold, and roseabi

HM plan still on track..distances have been gradually increasing..upping my strength training which is fun. Legs feel stronger..passed the 10K Mark for the first time since leaving the IC..a mind block milestone for me. Looking foward to the runs in the sun.
Well done Ju Ju that’s immense. You are awesome 👏 such an inspiration to your 10k programme peeps, and the rest of us mere mortals 💪😃🏃♀️
Got a shiny new plan to unfurl on Wednesday for my upcoming tough 10 mile race. It’s local! 👍. My new training plan will include the last of the races in the Triple Hill Challenge, which I’ve signed up to.
I’ve got a week’s holiday booked and I’m planning to get plenty of running done More hills though I suspect 🙄.
Off to the gym now to get some post hill race stretching done
Have a great week everyone. Remember to cover up or get some sun screen on. I am burned after yesterday’s race ☹️ I did wear sunscreen but it wasn’t strong enough
Well my HM recovery has wrapped now so the plan is done as of Saturday. Now what? Asics is silently asking me to set a new plan...🙂 I might look at maybe a marathon training plan wrapping in Sept. for the Scotiabank waterfront race. What the hey, if I’m not ready by then I could do the HM distance instead. Ha! So much for no marathons. I may still focus on getting a bit stronger in the HM. No final decisions yet.
I am starting to distrust my Garmin plan now. It has lulled me into a false sense of security by suggesting that I do short, gentle runs - 'Run, easy pace, 20 minutes' it says. 'Run, easy pace, 30 minutes', it offers. It has me doing something every day (cross training pilates) except for one day off a week. Great. Then I peeked ahead until next week and it wants 'Run, easy pace, 30 minutes. Walk 5 minutes. Run, easy pace 30 minutes.' That's upping the ante, isn't it???
I'm going to stretch out on the sofa for the next 5 days post HM because I always follow my Asics plan to the letter (not). I shall follow this part of the plan exactly tho'
I'm supposed to be having a leisurely week leading up to my first ever half marathon on Sunday. Running leader tonight decided we should do some sprint intervals followed by some hill training. I did enjoy it though.
Congratulations, ju-ju- ! I don't think I've shared this yet, but you inspired me to buy shiny red longlasting lipstick for London. You look so glamorous in your photos, so I tried to follow in your footsteps. Of course it only lasted for less than half the course, but at least I look nice in my pre-race photos!
My polar bear HM is sneaking up on me, and I've just had too much work to train much for the past few weeks - not to mention my still-achy heel. I tried a long run on Monday, but just didn't feel right, so I stopped at 7km. Today I got to 11km and didn't do too badly, but with a job due for delivery this afternoon, I didn't feel I could afford the extra half hour out there. At least I took a few minutes to sit by the fjord and enjoy the view.
I definitely need to do some more cycling before I leave to build up my thighs!
