I occasionally look at it but I'm not an avid viewer.
TBH most of the time I forget it's there.

That actually is interesting - or at least a bloody good effort. Top work. Have you been doing anything different training-wise ?
This must be on here, but in the off chance it's not, I watched The Barkley Marathons last night, on NetFlix.
Very enjoyable in a random bizarre type stylee.
I'm sure you weirdo joggerswill enjoy it.
They are mental, they really are.
In case anyone is interested in the really pointy end of long distance running, the European Ultra Marathon 24 hour champs are on at the moment. 1.1km circuit in France, run for 24 hours, whoever goes furthest wins. Likely to be something around 260-270km (so 50+ consecutive sub-28 minute parkruns if that helps explain it !) that wins it..................
The leader is smashing the field to pieces at the moment after 5 hours or so....... http://www.breizhchrono.com/detail-de-la-course.php?crs_id=10174

I was talking to a jogger at work about it, he told me the story of an ultra marathon runner, after his first event.
Apparently it all went well enough until he was driving home.
He bloke in question suffered a massive cramp, knocked his driver seat badly out of position, then was sick everywhere still stuck in his car.

That's no different to a regular marathon.
You balls out sprint the first 385 yards, then hang on for the following 26 miles.
Simples.
Some good running by all today.
First run since Bright 10 and left hamstring is still really tight. Felt like I took it fairly easy today but ran 9 miles in 1:04:03 which is 7:07 per mile (very pleased with this). Decided to open up last mile and ran 6:22 so fitness is definitely coming back but still running with some discomfort.
Really stretched after so hoping with a couple off weeks of football I can get myself back towards peak fitness and most importantly running without pain.

Saw Jesus this week. He was happy to not have to go near my foot. Got him on my neck and although first vertebrae is
rheumatically swollen he got a lot of pressure off the neck and driving is a bit 'safer' now..
To the point. I told him that you'd had troubles on the Bright10 despite the fast time. He said he doesn't think he can help you any further and that Pilates and yoga are the best options. Some messiah, huh? Good luck, it seems complex,you need to get that sorted out to crack on with getting new pbs.
He was also impressed that a 48 year old neo German could do 3:05 marathon, as we were.
Thumbs up for the typed content rather than the foot picture
Hope it eases soon, sounds rubbish but your Himalayan plan is at least far more interesting than office work and running in the dark in Brighton. Have a good trip.

Very likely Dean Karnazes. There's a VERY graphic description of it in his book!

After my Brighton Marathon thrashing by you this year (Jesus said you enjoyed telling him) I am hoping that we both get going soon. I need to finish a marathon 1 second faster than you next year.
He's still hanging on.......now at 118km, 13km ahead of second after about 9 hours

Fantastic effort. It'll take me a while to get back to sub-21 again, but sub-20 is the real goal. I'll get there one day...

Ran kings Lynn Parkrun this morning 18.35, wet under foot, not a lot of running this week so a decent run considering. Well done to all NSC Parkrunners this morning.
