Parkrun

[Mongoose39uk]

agony, ive sat around all day, any movement is painful and forget the stairs, i just struggled to asda to try and loosen up, i look like charlie chaplin when i walk lol, i have a huge blister on the side of my second toe that unlike a blister is deep red rather than white, hoping im better tommorow, it feels like having the flu when you ache all over, thinking about it, when i did the 20 mile race i was much better at 20 miles than yesterday, and i did that slower at the start, i suppose there is a good reason everyone says start slow, i could kick myself but it would hurt lol

Gentle exercise this week and stretch. You will recover quicker the more you rest. I just banged out a 57 min hilly 10k which surprised me but did very little last week

And a really gentle recovery run as soon as you can (although that sounds like it might be a few days away).

Dude. You run the London Marathon. You don't need to wait for the neighbours to wake up. Do it now in your full running kit wearing your medal.

I must admit the running is now much more of a pleasure with the m word done with. That and the weather is just right.

it is pressure having it looming for sure, i may even try some zen running (without timing or measuring the distance) i will need a reason to get me up after work though too easy to sit and watch the telly me thinks

Yay!! It's much more fun when you have someone to run with - my hubby started first, then I went with him to keep him company and now I'm hooked!

Not that I'm name dropping or anything, but I ran with Paul Sinton Hewitt at Oak Hill this morning!
