Back in the sub-22s and a PB at Preston Park this morning. I'm stupidly excited about an early morning jaunt on the Downs tomorrow. Less than a month until marathon number one of four this year...
Good luck to [MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] for Seville tomorrow.

Excellent running. Soon time to start pulling in on the reins and get the taper right for the big day. Should enjoy it. What is it again?

Yeah the longest distance is now done and next weekend will be 9 miles followed by a taping off from there. It's the Bath Half Marathon. My initial aims were for certain reasons, 1.45 and then 1.42 but now aiming for sub 1.40 if I can.
That revised target looks very doable.
Cheers...only just seen this (now enjoying a post-race cava). Not a great run from my perspective, just had no gas in the second half and it turned into a typical walk/run shuffle, just sneaking under 4hrs at 3.57. Pancake flat course and well organised, with a nice finish on the track in the Cartuja Stadium. Recommended - fabulous city for a long weekend.

20 miles in under 3 hours along the thames this morning, two more at 20 and one at 22 before Brighton.
Well done! One of my favourite cities, might have put this on the list along with Valencia.
Enjoy the cava - although an orange wine (at Alvaro Peregil) might be more appropriate.
Plenty of oranges at the finish [emoji23][emoji23]

Still pretty decent if you ask me - well done.

Under 1.30 for 11;5 miles and a 20:40 parkrun? You'll absolutely SMASH 1.40 in Bath. I ran 1.39 in Worthing last year and my times were nowhere near yours. Sticking with a pacer (if there is one) helped me – you might want to consider that...
Spot on....should be closer to 1.35 with those numbers. Aim high!
Those who don't follow Casey Neistat's work (and you should) won't have seen this. Excellent as ever, and resonates strongly.

The SDW run was as good as I'd hoped – weather was spot on, managed to run up all the hills in front of me and some decent prep for Moyleman next month. Ran 14.4 miles and then made it 20 miles for the two days with a nice recovery run around SBS this morning.
Yeah, he visits Cape Town a fair bit.
He just ran his first race of the year - a 10-miler and averaged 6:14 miles. If he didn't seem like such a good bloke, I'd hate him. Got his arse kicked by a 60 year old though. The video of it. Also good:

Just in case anyone is interest, SiS are offering free running packs (supposedly worth £15), which you can get here. The only catch is that you have to pay £3.99 for delivery.
Alternatively, if you spend £10, delivery is free. Their energy bar bundles are currently 2 for £10 (RRP £11 each), which you can find here.
Overall, you can get two energy bar bundles and the running pack for £10, including delivery. Haven't received mine yet (only ordered yesterday), so I'm not sure on the quality/taste but SiS are usually pretty decent.
