As it will be my first marathon I think I will stay in the country.....flat sounds good, I will give the fast bit a miss as I will probably do a steady pace for my first marathon just so I know I can complete one!

35 miles trail race with plenty of hills so i'd expect 11 min miling against my 9 min road marathon pace.

Loads of regrouping on Fridays.Will you be there Friday? I was talking to a lad called Lee in my group (late 20's, his dad runs too) and he said not many turn up on a Friday. I'm hoping I won't be out with a load of Mo Farahs

I'm tempted to signup for the Poppy run in Silksworth, is anyone else on here doing it?

Friday is normally around 10k and has a sweeper so nobody gets left behind. normally around 15 or so turn up with a real mix of ability. Its meant to be an easy run so will have lots of re-grouping.

The Ashbrooke cricket club bar is open to everyone now, handy for a swift pint after run.

What kind of rests do you do in between reps there mate? Getting bored of the pyramid track sessions nowHard track session tonight, 6x400, 6x300, 6x200. . hate the shorter stuff. Needs to be done though, cross country soon.
Racing on Sunday in Stanley, race is called the hellhole 10k

45secs between each effort, then 90secs between each set (ie. moving from 400s to 300s).
They all get boring, just to have to keep varying the distances. Short stuff one day, then 4x mile next time or 6x1k. 16x400s is the most tedious
I use a local industrial estate as a sub for the track sometimes, it's a mile and a half round it. I run laps of that with 1min, 2min bursts etc

Yep, at the original one where it all started. They are getting the original 14 runners that did it 10 years ago back to do it as well!! Probably 1,500 doing it.

Just over 6 mile with the strollers tonight. Enjoyed it again, right mixed pack of ability. We ran places I never knew existed and will run that way when I go out on my own.
Did you notice a first timer on Wednesday? A lad (I reckon 20's) tall and slim. He had a high vis Nike singlet with nowt underneath, tight cycling shorts and he had a sleeve tattoo.

I think he'll be the talk of the club mate. It was only his second time out tonight (same as me) and no one could keep up with him.
