How the [email protected]@dy flip am I supposed to keep up?

Can you all post a little less?

Thanks.

H

P.S. How are peeps getting on? Sorry I'm not keeping track - sadly I've been busy working... although I have managed the odd little run too (Barcelona mara last Sunday was lovely - not fast - but lovely)

 

[Trinity]

Just read Steve and mine, that will give you an overview


Good to see you H, I don't know if you have heard but Rich and I are no more...so life hasn't finished giving me a hard time yet

I tell you what though... I hope the person who is getting all the good stuff to balance it out appreciates it!!

 

[Hollywood]

Hello - yeah - I`d heard. More importantly, how`s the post surgery stuff? You gonna be out kicking butt on the road again soon?

 

[Katten]

Good to see you, Hollywood. How was Barcelona this year?

 

[Trinity]

Hello - yeah - I`d heard. More importantly, how`s the post surgery stuff? You gonna be out kicking butt on the road again soon?

If you mean scoring a 1.36 (11 seconds outside PB) at Llanelly half last Sunday, and then a 20 mile training run today, which felt easy but ended up at 2.43.55 (11 seconds faster than PB)... then about now H

 

[Katten]

Awesome!

 

[Trinity]

Thanx Katten

 

[Steve]

Good run Trin....makes my 21 miler look pedestrian!

 

[Trinity]

I'm sure it doesn't Steve

 

[Steve]

It does.....extra 30 mins on top of your 20 miler....was running with SWMBO and 3 others so not at my pace...probably why I feel reasonably ok today.

 

[Trinity]

ok, well as you say, it wasn't at your pace.

That's great for SWMBO though!!

 

[Steve]

Well it would have been but she did a slightly shorter course....so did more like 20m in 3hrs 11....still pleased with that though.

 

[Trinity]

I'm hoping this years FLM is going to be a different story to last years... fingers crossed for the next few weeks!

 

[Steve]

I'm sure it will...I won't be jogging past you for a start!!

Expecting sub 3 30 from you Trin.

My marathon is the week before FLM...a 2 lap hilly, for Suffolk, course.

 

[Trinity]

Is that the one you was talking about a while ago that you and SWMBO are doing with a lot of climbing?

 

[Steve]

No on 6/4 we are doing Bungay Marathon. It's the Davos Swiss Alpine Trail Marathon you are thinking about...in July...with 1890metres of ascent and 1710 of descent.

Aw Trin










SUPERB!

(but I'm sure you didn't need me to say that)

Katten - Barcelona was lovely. I didn't really have the legs for it on the day (maybe the 40 mile bike and the 15 mile run was overdoing the taper... maybe it was just the working week... maybe it was the flight (Heathrow airport was lovely, Barca airport was a nightmare)... maybe I just need to put in more training...) but I accepted my fate early on, told my Garmin virtual training buddy to get lost and had quite an enjoyable run - 3:30:13 - still my third fastest marathon.

Shiraz was also very very happy to get 3:44:45 - she does occasionally mention something called Good For Age now - which I find quite funny (why would someone who is never running a marathon ever ever ever again care about getting a GFA time?)

Really enjoyed Barcelona afterwards - a nice place to hang out for the afternoon

How you doing K?

 

[Hollywood]

Steve - there's a chance I'll see you at Bungay... might come along for the half... I might even do the full... wish it wasn't the week before London though.

 

[Trinity]

Thanx H

you on for FLM then? How has the training been going?
