rofno|4|24|101|12 miles LSR out west this past weekend with rain and hills to contend with. Once I got going each mile split was within 30 secs. Need to address hydration now though|
boccy|3|19|117|Tough LSR. Had an energy drink which didn't really agree. Also have a back twinge and an ankle twinge. 2+ hours made for hard going.|
brophya2007|4|20|124.5|Step back week for me.|
beamgirl|4|22|90|Missed the 10 LSR last week so did it this weekend instead in 1:36:11|
michellemuncher|4|27|117|Did LSR of 14m in 2 and half hours. Cycled 45m and did lots of walking. Knees not so good, but feeling fresh.|

Can I suggest that when updating our entries that we highlight our own each time? Like mine above.
I am interested to read each poster's update but sometimes have to search up and down the names before finding the new entry.
How do you guys n gals feel about that?0 -

Mrslow yes the next poster would have to "unbold" the previous entry but that's as simple as click, click done.

Not fond of isotonic gels myself, they cause similar results for me.took a gel on my LSR yesterday for the first time with disastrous consequences. It was an isotonic one
stomach cramps all last night with all that goes with it if you know what I mean...
Best to find that out now though rather than on DCM day!0 -

Refusing to take myself off the table yet as am determined to do this!
This week will be cross training but what do people recommend when I can get back running (hopefully next week):
1) start where I left off on the plan
2) try and slot in to where I should be
3) any other ideas?0 -

It’s been a truly awful first 6 weeks for me training wise – a combination of lots of real-life issues plus injury (sore knee which I’m still watching closely) has meant that at this stage I’ve only done about 62% of my planned miles. At this stage on the half marathon training plan I had done 106%.
But I’m not going to beat myself up about it. There was absolutely nothing that I could do about it – sometimes running has to take a back seat. Positives are that I managed to keep up with my lsr’s and completed the 5 mile in a time I’m proud of. Injury permitting I should now be able to get back to regular and proper training starting with 28 Miles pencilled in for this week.0 -

Sometimes your running has to become less of a priority and as frustrating (and I really know how you feel) as it may feel you just have to accept the situation. Enjoy the time you do get to go out. Like you said dont beat yourself up over it.
Well done, keep positive and good luck 0 -

Thanks for the support ilovetorun - appreciate that and good to hear from someone who's had similar experience... I did have to Google PMA though :rolleyes:
Did my 7 mile stepback LSR on Monday and a lovely 3 miler today at lunchtime - reckon thats the first run I've really really enjoyed in months - back on track!0 -

JEmily|4|18|28|Am looking forward to getting stuck in this week, last week was nice and easy, but am looking forward to 12 miler this weekend, my first time ever...i ate for Ireland the weekend so have plenty of fat now|
Mrslow|4|23.75|23.75|Ankles still hurt in the morning after my 10 miler but are fine within 10 mins of moving around - going for 12 miles on Sat|
Tuesday: 6 miles easy, felt like I could run forever
Thursday: 4 miles easy
BH Monday: 11 miles, knee was slightly niggly and got worse as I went on, last mile was a real struggle. Decided to walk from 11 miles as I thought 1 mile less was better than doing myself damage. Took a gel at the 6 mile mark, tasted horrible and did not agree with me at all. Not my best LSR ever but lessons learned. I think I went too hard as well but I just felt so good for the first 7-8 miles I didnt think it would be a problem later on.
Discussion Topic:
I never thought I could run a 6 mile easy midweek run without much perceived effort.
And thats some good advice from rainbow, get used to the gels now if you are planning on using them, you dont want to go through what I did on race day. My stomach was not right for 2 days :eek:0 -

I use Isogel without caffeine and I find them great, no water required and they are quite light and easy to take.
This shows just how much things can vary between individuals in terms of what suits you. I know that I have my own rules for gels: no caffeine, no isotonics, fruit flavours only, but after that pretty much anything goes, with a slight preference for thicker gels (Gu/Powerbar gels). 0 -

You have between now and October to work out what works out well for you as a solid breakfast that you can stomach at 6-6.30am.I've just realised it starts at 9am????? I do all my running in the evening after a days hydration and food! Panic Stations:mad: Any suggestions?
(my suggestion: porridge with banana and/or dried fruit, bagel, cup of rocket fuel-strength coffee)0
