Running Clique

[Ted Maul]

I've been fairly consistent with 2-3 10ks a week until last week where work and a stag do got in the way. Played 5 a side on the stag which isn't a completely different type of fitness I'm used to, hurt in places I'd forgotten about! Nightmare week of work this and next, hopefully get out this weekend at some point and then back on track towards the end of next week.

Gonna knock out a quick 5k on the treadmill at lunch.

I absolutely hate treadmill running, just me on a machine in front of a massive mirror so I can just watch myself jiggling.

Treadmill can be an absolute godsend given what you've said in your earlier post about lacking time and energy. I've currently got one on order for the garage, will certainly help out on those days where it's freezing cold or where I'm pushed for time.

I did a 20miler on Sunday and will get up to 22 in a couple weeks before tapering. I run with a club so am able to learn and train from some more experienced marathon runners so it’s going well. I ran the Hampton Court half last week in 1hr 38 so I hope to be under 4 hours for Manchester.

Double it and add fifteen minutes is the old addage. I reckon you'll go under 3h40.
