Bathimp Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 My mate and I are doing the 10k. Inspired me to build up to that distance after doing the couch to 5k last year. Still worried about the hills but looking forward to it. Sure the good karma helped us get tickets this year too. See you there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you there. See you at the start line. Pilton Digger and I will be wearing very fetching race official bibs. i am SO glad we didn’t pick today as race day. Otherwise we would have to be offering canoes and change the title to a bi-athlon. We could have stuck Micheal Eavis at the top of the pirate ship and got him to start the race from there. Next weekend is looking like perfect race weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucyginger Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Did a really good 3 mile run yesterday, will aim for 5 tomorrow and again Friday, so should be race ready by Sunday! Eek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eek! Personally I'd consider not running Friday, although there may be others who run more that would disagree with me. I'd think you'd get more benefit from going into Sunday fully rested and fresh than you would from squeezing in one more run, especially if you're running tomorrow as well. I'd say you're not really giving your legs time to recover properly from your Wed run. But happy to be corrected by better runners than I Edited October 15, 2019 by Quark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! a few extra strong black coffees and an ibroprofen before the run and you'll be fine - that was my strategy before I did the great north last time after one training session - oops - in hindisght it wasn;t the best strategy but it got me round pretty much pain free (I would walk for the next week though :-)) On second thoughts ignore all the above and all the best and have fun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
