The top of the second toe on my left foot is a little bit sore -
hopefully slightly inflamed and not a stress fracture imminent.
I intend to run Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday this week but never having done anything like Edale before I wasn't sure what to do. I certainly haven't tapered down as I would have done before a marathon in the old days but I suppose I should have done.

Caught the last 20 minutes - Julia Bradbury puffing and panting got right on my nerves:eek:


Been for an hour with a personal trainer today:D had everything measured - amazing what a couple of plasters on your feet and some wires can tell you!

Anyway - quite a good session - intervals on the treadmill and some core work.

More a getting to know you session today and apparently I'm not as pants as I thought but my lungs are!! We are going to work on improving my lung capacity speed and strength so watch out everyone I'll soon be chasing your tail:D (I hope:o )
