Then on Sunday I'm either doing a long cycle with Shiraz (checking out the Windsor tri route) or I'm going to swim and run (maybe even open water swim for the first time this year...)
For those of you who haven't heard on "other forums" I'm now in serious training - going to try to tackle 4km swim, 120km cycle and 30km run long distance triathlon in Holland at the end of August - all because I want to wear some GB kit - I honestly never thought I'd ever ever ever get to represent my country at any level... now all I have to do is learn how to cycle that far and of course to practice my posing (even when I come last) ;-)
Oh, I forgot - training... Probably 10 miles very slow on Sunday. Then starting 6 weeks of intervals, hills and BPTT aiming for a massive 10k PB on 1 July.

Best of luck with this Hollywood! A great challenge, it will be good to have another international athlete on the forum Keep us updated on how your training is progressing.
Just a couple of training runs for me this weekend, got a 10k race on Wednesday.
As for me, no training this weekend. Did White Peak Marathon today though, PB'd by 33 mins (that was set 9 years ago and was my only marathon), 3h 51m. Was a tough one though, uphill for 7-800ft for the first 10 miles, then flat and downhill in 2 steep sections for 800ft in the last few miles (when your legs are feeling dead). As it was off road there were plenty of deep puddles and muddy patches too!
Suffered with cramp for the last 6 miles, that was interesting to say the least!
I think I'm gonna have a week off cos my left knee feels knackered (IT Band!).
Hi All
I need some help and advice please…
I had Plantar Fasciitis for most of last year and, whilst it’s now cleared in the main, there’s still a slight tinge every now and again to suggest it’s not cleared 100%. I have ‘normal’ arches (not high or low arches or flat feet). I have been...
Is it normal for a running club to be full of cliques?
I've noticed that myself (a relatively new member) and other new members tend to get left alone in the club house whilst the usual groups congregate and talk to one another.
There's something else which happened whilst I've been there...
It certainly looks clean and tidy and is quick and responsive. I notice a few things missing but I suppose that is progress and some of the old site may not be compatible with the new software.
Hi there
I'm new here. I actually signed up to ask you guys if somebody has ever used the new training program from Paula radcliffe.. runningcoach.me ?
I am considering buying it, but as it costs quite some money i would like to know some experiences from other runners. based on the website...
I believe it's interesting to see which goals people set before they head out for training/racing and seeing if they accomplished them or not and the reasons.
There may be something to learn from it and also there's the expectation :)
Ah! And I read somewhere that we are more prone to...
