Those hamstrings are sore for a reason and there's no reason to tempt fate.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a big fan of "fast finishes" unless it means the entire last mile. The body is in a state of disrepair by the end of an exhausting long run and adding the stress of a quick pick-up can do the damage.<BR/><BR/>I once read "speed and distance do not mix" and I believe it. Other than that, a good run eh? I like how you kept a strong pressure on then brought the pace up. Amazing how the new pace can stick...Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279497885714621045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1159818580040249492006-10-02T20:49:00.000+01:002006-10-02T20:49:00.000+01:00Very impressive run Thomas.

The one you did would have killed most of us.<BR/><BR/>I hope Niamh is feeling better. My wife "sprained" her ankle skiing several years ago. Since it was mid-day and I'm the ever attentive husband, I set her up in the bar with plenty of cash and went back to the slopes. I took her to the doctor when we got home the next day and discovered that she had severly broken a bone in the ankle. Now when she tells me that she has hurt herself, I take her to the doctor immediately. Helps maintain martial bliss.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with the rest of your training. You're making fanstastic progress.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1159816740576334852006-10-02T20:19:00.000+01:002006-10-02T20:19:00.000+01:00I still have a rather vauge idea of what shoes I n...I still have a rather vauge idea of what shoes I need besides the once I feel good in, less injured and they have to be light:)<BR/>What a weekend!Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493291972954387932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1159809376163063032006-10-02T18:16:00.000+01:002006-10-02T18:16:00.000+01:00Funky orange stripes is everything!Funky orange stripes is everything!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140521672043945207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-1159806224328396692006-10-02T17:23:00.000+01:002006-10-02T17:23:00.000+01:00Impressive mileage (both for the week and the mont...Impressive mileage (both for the week and the month) Thomas!Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247706206261725627noreply@blogger.com
