Alright mate how did ur long run go ?

I did a dead slow 7 miles on saturday morning. But the did a spinning class on sunday and today my thighs are really sore.
Good win yesterday.

Hello mate, well done - good that you are building up different muscle on your leg - surely beneficial for the main day.

yep, i did a 7.08 mile run yesterday - really enjoyed it, nice still cloudy day - had my wireless headphones on, listened to Radio and my music and felt really comfortable throughout.

did 7:08 Miles in 1 hour 16 - average pace 10:51

wasnt really concentrating on picking up speed or my pace, just took it easy.

Thursday : same as above, evening run 4-5 mile treadmill

Well done to you mate. I was a bit slower than u, 1.19 for just over 7 miles. But i ran early in morning and it was cold and wet, and I'd didm't get much sleep the night b4. Thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it.
Your programs much the same as more at .moment.

Yep seems we're both doing similar - did 4 miles today - lovely run over west minister bridge, past London eye and back over Tower bridge. Tommorow will do 5-6 in evening. Enjoying it all to be fair

All that time training could be spent doing overtime. With the extra money from the overtime you could go to Amsterdam and spend a week shagging prostitutes and getting stoned.
You won't have the same sense of achievement at the end of it, but you'll have a better time and come home with a sack like father Christmas on boxing day.

1) I can't get over time. I'm 24/7
2) would never pay for it
3) weed is the worst drug - I'm a paranoid fruitcake
