First run out since ****ing my foot up and then getting flu. So about 4 weeks. Bag of ****. Slow as a mutha****er and hit a brick wall at 7 miles. My 10k time was 50 minutes which is as slow as I've been for about 5 years. I ****ing hate being ill! Going to be a hard slog to get back to sub 40 for the 10 and any thoughts of a sub 1:30 half this year look utterly ****ed.

Bollocks!

Sub 40 for 10k ... really ? That is some going ... hope you get back up there

suffering from a bit of metatarsalgia which isn't great and means I'm stiffer than usual as I'm over compensating when walking about. Weirdly running and footie is fine after about 10 minutes.

According to google research, the only way to get rid of it is calf stretches and similar exercises whilst wearing a butt plug!!

Boo

Well done bacon . Are you training for anything in particular?

YeH Pablo ... I'm having a crack at the NYC half in 4 weeks. Trying to do at least 3 runs per week with long run on the weekend. Struggling to get a long one in this weekend after coming down to Melbourne for the cricket. My PB is under 2hours (1:59:35!!) so would like to improve on that if possible

Cheers

****ing nightmare. I got taken down with it on my last day in Avoriaz and I've felt like ive had the French Mountain Plague since I got back. In the last week and a bit I've been totally unable to do anything and had to bail on a trip up to Scotland last weekend to boot.

Needs to **** off pronto as I'm heading to Chamonix in 3 weeks! (And then Tignes a couple of weeks later).

Ah **** just spotted this. Get well soon buddy.

Top of the league A fast (for me) 10km done in just under 53 minutes. Felt good

What happened to poor Rowan by the way? Is he still injured?

[Pablo]

I think it makes sense for it to be in General Sports. I would have preferred to have kept it to just running though.

Did anyone own up to merging it anyway?

[badpiggy]

This is bollocks. It's change for the sake of it. It's cleary the work of some bottomfeeding gimp who spotted some low hanging fruit and thought concept consolidation needed urgent actualising going forward.
