Does anybody climb the stairs[if you have any !] and find it so hard that you think how can you possibly race,nah,run at all and probably after a couple of days rest,then go out and have a reasonable run !! strange.

Not that i can run at all at the moment,thought i better add that as i have been on the injury thread,just thinkig back !!!
Never used stairs at all...
last night felt terrible, met up with two mates after a 4 k warm up, did 15k on trails and road at 6:15 pace.. 1 k cool down.. its whats so good about training with people, just gets you going. Without them it'd had been a terrible session. Lovely night out in the strawberry fields around Rostock, never smelt such fragrant fields.
Wasnt thinking of training on the stairs !
Yes know what you mean,i used to go to Harriers on a Wednesday and could hardly drag myself out of the car then had a good session with club mates.How many times do we not bother training because we feel tired when we should have ? i suspect not every time though ,sometimes it must be genuine fatigue.
A technical PB for me and Harry running over Plover Hill and Pen y Ghent tonight
A belt along the canal at lunch time, up and round Gotts Park golf course and back. 6.25 miles, maybe 350 ft of climb and an average speed of 7.9 mph, gor blimey!

trying my best to nurse a gippy knee, did 1hr20mins 11.5miles on grass out the front of my house, 10 laps of a greaty big area of grass overlooking the sea, never did a lapped run feel so great, 25C heat and sea veiws = glorious, damn im so lucky living where I do
1hr on the bike first thing yesterday, followed by an utterly hideous run in high temperatures.
I say run, I mean walk with a slow jog in the descents. And that was flat out. Warm weather is not my cup of tea.
