+7.6km the other day, mud terrain run. Planning on a long one this weekend.

I have damaged the sole of my foot, right by the toes and can't seem to shake it. I feel fine whilst running, but the moment I stop it is agony! Hope it sorts itself out for the 26th April!

+6.1k recovery run from last week. I started before 6am - its 21C and humid. I've lived here for 22yrs and still not got used to exercising in this humidity ..

Just walking to the gym and back killed me. Let alone running.

I thin sensible people over here go out early / late though.

Should try it in 32 degree heat. ****ers.

I think bacon is from Australia? so he's probably running in 32C!

I'm a wimp in the heat. Anything approaching 20C and I melt.

+6.3km. Nice and easy in the sun

Will probably take your advice Carra and rest up now. Plan is for two runs on Tuesday and Thursday next week before the half next Sunday.

Sounds good, keep the legs ticking over

+6.5km. Easy one today.

I've started tapering down now before the Liverpool Half on the 29th. I'm a little concerned I will lose my fitness in this next 10 days or so while downing my mileage. Do I still push it a bit on these shorter runs or do I just take them easy?

Take it easy - rest assured you've put the training in and enjoy the tapering. Just don't get lazy with your diet, if you're burning less calories it's easy to continue eating your training diet! I've been burnt many times before
