These old legs have been feeling heavy and tired after XC racing and that super long run this weekend. A nice and supposedly easy 5m on Monday was a reminder of the necessity of these recovery days being exactly that. I dragged myself around the village at dawn wearing a pair of wooden legs wondering where my bouncy & bendy ones had got to.
The last few days have included lots of reflective training chats with M, his pa and some revisiting of our dog-eared running books. I've also been looking back at what I've done since I started a structured training plan two years ago, (a great advantage of keeping a log). All these elements have combined to form a really useful process; reminding myself of the running basics that I've somehow forgotten in recent months.

you're dead right
running is one of the most basic and natural things we have
to run faster you have to run faster
to run longer you have to run longer
and to run faster for longer..
..you need frilly knickers?
sweet Jesus! those pants must have brought up some interesting google searches ;)
Is this part of the your new England running kit?
Frilly pants are where its at my friends.
Wouldn't you be proud to run for your country in a fine pair like these? And you were all quietly wondering to yourselves what all the fuss was about.
