You're in the zone. Nice one.

Mar 26th: 389km +12km = 401km.

Broke 400km five weeks early despite losing a fair bit of time in the last 10 days with Scarlett.
Pretty happy.

240.. +7 +10 +8 +8= 273k. 

On target- Although my target is 1000k for the year I'm trying to keep to 100k per month to give myself some leeway for interruption  due to injury/laziness/terrible Scottish weather. 

Should have kept my stupid mouth shut. Got caught in a leg lock at sparring, cue sore Achilles... that limited me to 7k last week. 

280k. 
Feels ok now, so an easy 5k for the next few days will hopefully see me at 300 before 1st April.

My heel / achilles is still feeling pretty sore so no running today. I'll probably have to leave it until Wednesday or Thursday, still at least it goes to show that increasing the miles too quickly does indeed have consequences.

43k on skis this morning - does that count?

I drove 300 miles on my motorbike on Saturday,

Er... no

I'm guessing it wasn't all downhill.

29k downhill, the rest on lifts. The route skied was pretty much the middle section of the Kaisermarathon which, I can tell you from experience, is far easier on skies than running!

OK, back to proper running tomorrow.

After 3 weeks off for a calf injury I went out again this morning.

Only 3.5k at a pretty slow pace but I don't want to pull it again.

I am now well behind target by about 50k. I've decided I won't care to much about making it up, but if I'm feeling good on a run and I want to do an extra K or so then I will.

On the plus side the local football & rugby fields have started to dry out quite well after the winter, so grass running is available again. Hopefully that will put less pressure on the knees.

According to my phone 1 lap of the field is 1.28k. Distance from home to the field is 0.62k. So 3 laps and the run to and from would give me 5.08K.

I do like working out new routes to keep it interesting.

35.1 mile run today (56km). Felt really good and could have carried on. Glad to be back running and training for my next race end of April.

341miles/548km to date.

I missed this. THIRTY FIVE MILE run? Holy shitballs. We're not worthy! Nice one mate.

haha thanks @Deadman. It's all just one foot in front of the other if 5k, 50k or 100k.  I'm used to it. Very good run btw. Down weekend coming up but I'm training 2 marathon groups so 2 x 20 milers which work really well for getting used to running on tired legs and keep pushing especially on day 2. Next weekend is my final long training run so will be 40-50 miles. Then a taper for end of April.
