Thanks for that. Am a Books man but Inov8 seem to be huge off road, will have to try some on

12x 400m repeats at 7:20m/mile ish pace. Quite a tough one!

I think the thing that works best for me is little and often right before and during the run, but also be generally quite paranoid about staying hydrated. Much easier to stay hydrated that try to...

Personally I think breakfast before a long run is sensible, min of 2hrs before hand though. Ive never used gels etc for half marathons - theyre definitley not necessary IMO. Hydration is the key, and...

Jazzy!

What are they like on the road? I tend to do mixed runs so need somthing that can do everything - havent found that magic shoe quite yet

4 mile recovery for me. Its hot!

Some good milages going on in Strava - well done all of us!

Google Earth is also great for plotting runs and has elevation profiles, which is cool

6 miles @ half marathon heart rate for me

and thats as great an achivement as anything anyone else has posted here. Every single runner looks at other peoples times and wonders if we could go a bit faster. We always can, we're just all at...

3 miles just under 22 min tempo run for me today and 4 miles slowly yesterday - very poor nights sleep on Sunday which always nocks me, need my 8 hrs a night

Excellent result. Also, if you dont mind me saying, excellent moustache!

Winning a medal while wearing a Team GB flag is a very very special thing

Excellent effort. Have wondered how close I could get to that, might have to find out at some point..

12.5 miles, 1500 ft of ascent. Done by 11.30 but still a pretty hot one!

4 mile recover run for me - managed to keep speed and heart rate down, made easier by tired legs!

That should be fascinating if its a good detailed test, Id love to do a proper max heart rate and VO2 test. Post how it goes

I’m not as far off as you but also have a max well over 220 - age. We’re probably the lucky ones, given training it’s surely a feature not a bug

6 miles for me at 8:55 pace, sort of tempo heart rate, sort of 1/2 marathon target heart rate, up a big hill 700 ft of elevation gain. Fastest Ive ever run that particular route which is always...

Outstanding!

I suppose the solution is to make the fast runs faster so the slow ones seem slower! Glad its not just me anyway..

Great to be on top of a big hill and be running as the sun come up for sure. Need to get back to marathons first and then see if I can progress

Massive respect!

I'd like to head towards Ultras. I really really need 8 hrs sleep a night to be a proper functioning human, wonder how Id cope with that...

12 miles on Sun - 1500ft of ascent so hard but good. 4 miles of not slow enough recover run on Mon, 3 miles Tempo today.

Does anyone else really struggle to keep their recover runs slow enough? Im...

Great effort, sand is a killer!

Awsome achievement. Balls and a mind of steel

Day off today - harder to have a day off than run sometimes!

Another 4 miler for me, 8:30ish. Nice day lstening to the Skylarks. This is the end of my recovery run week, day of tomorrow then long run on Sat
