Bat Run around Beacon Fell tonight,it was good to get back to normal after Christmas and New Year

Logging in to the Fra Forums training page to see the what miles IainR has done today has become the highlight of my day,if I did that kind of weekly mileage a would last a proximately a week before something went pop. I don't know how you do it man and hold down a full time job, but I doff my proverbial hat to you.

Cant really claim a full time job.. officially I do but I'm waiting for a visa to arrive so my productivity is poor.. somehow published 5 papers this year but its certainly not been a great year of work from me..

But my life here is mega flexible, as long as I Skype with the missus before I go to bed I have no commitments, live on my own, 20 sq m flat, works flexible.. its easy mileage really, just the cold and snow is the issue.

I must admit Ian, I follow your Strava progress and training blog. I actually find it good motivation ! Id love to be able to have enough time to try to do half the miles you manage.

..and the knees to allow me to run that far..

..and the knees to allow me to run that far..

We'll have to see how long I can stay active for..

At the moment I find 100-110 hurts, but I'm about to quit working for 4 months so aim to get to 120 for a chunk of those..

Just added another 6.1 at lunch.. I was moaning about the -12, it's not -2 so all the snow is slush due to the grit, much harder running...

Maybe visiting our indoor track tonight for a light session.. was reading an article by Salazar and he reckons 7 x 300s, 300 recovery, basic all out efforts are a great session, so might push for that.

Struggling with motivation just now! Missed two good opportunities to get out in a row now!!

Nice profile picture. Is it a recent snap?

[Richard Shlong]

So cold, just brutal at the moment. -12, being out for any longer than 1:30 really hurts.

Respect!

Much warmer but went indoors... met them after 1.5 miles run to them, 2.5 mile warm up on snowy trails, then the plan was 8x1k which I dont think is a light session.. minimum of 6.. we did 6 in 3:18-3:20..

Wore my GPS to get splits but distances way out, odd running on a tightly cornered 283 m banked track.. the rooms heated to 20 C as well so its a bit of a temperature shock..

But nice session, need to get out with them more. One of them, his dad is the main coach, former 3000m european medalist at junior level, another in the group is the son of Kunze, bronze medalist Seoul Olympics for GDR.. so some pedigree.

16 miles for the day.

I remember meeting Blackfoot at a race years ago, he was a Lytham St Anne's Road Runner in those days
