Keep up the good work but much like Grellan hints at, make sure you save some energy for race day.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441387101727202416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-52314963418535390972008-09-06T17:35:00.000+01:002008-09-06T17:35:00.000+01:00Nice work Thomas.

You need to keep those strange comments about not feeling tired after 20 miles to yourself. Normal people just don't get it.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-11629502391980057492008-09-05T20:48:00.000+01:002008-09-05T20:48:00.000+01:00Thomas,Don't u find it hard to explain to ur wife ...Thomas,<BR/><BR/>Don't u find it hard to explain to ur wife the diff between 'good' tired and crappy tired from a long run?? I find it hard to explain to ppl..yeah it is hard but it shouldn't be so tired.<BR/><BR/>Got a quick question to ask u..how do you deal with hydration on ur long run? For me, i do four 6 km loop around my house and i leave a water bottle out on the front yard. <BR/><BR/>I feel dead by 2 hr mark and mostly is the lack of water i am getting in. Do you put a bottle out and run around, run w/ water, or find water along the route?Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227378544813320248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-86654353996436328572008-09-05T18:17:00.000+01:002008-09-05T18:17:00.000+01:00Are you sure you're on the "Brain Training "progra...Are you sure you're on the "Brain Training "programme as my programme calls for a 4 to 8 miler @ base pace the day after the cruise intervals and not a MP run. <BR/><BR/>To be quite honest pulling off a 20 miler the day after cruise intervals is a feat in itself - I wouldn't be too worried about not getting down to 7:00 pace at the end. In contrast my legs were still tired this morning for an easy 6.7 miles (couldn't bother going any further in the wind and rain)<BR/><BR/>"That look" - priceless.Grellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07132757537248747078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-4485249797069279942008-09-05T17:57:00.001+01:002008-09-05T17:57:00.001+01:00just think Thomas, If you had a treadmill you woul...just think Thomas, If you had a treadmill you wouldn't get that warm glow of satisfaction as you stepped back inside the house after fighting the elements on another wet and windy run, plus think of all that fresh air you would miss out on!!!RICK'S RUNNINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836338956751369408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-46117077351364740692008-09-05T17:57:00.000+01:002008-09-05T17:57:00.000+01:00Well done for hanging in there!
