Nixon: I was about to rip it out of you for claiming 8km as a long run... then I continued reading...

I don't think I've seen anyone with as many different training types, well done, very colourful

Becks: I do like a bit of variation, keeps things interesting. And today's session certainly felt far harder than an actual long run - guess I don't normally push myself hard enough on them. I was totally done in by the end...whew.

Nixon: i take it you planned all this extra distance, you didn't just forget your SI card

Becks: Ha ha, I think the people I passed three times thought I'd done that! I was trying to smile in a "yes, I am a lunatic, but in a completely controlled and pre planned fashion."

I don't think it worked.

Nixon: pre-meditated lunacy is the best kind...

hel vino: maybe the lunacy would work better post-race? ie grab all important sol points, avoid getting beaten by vets AND be disciplined to run 5 more miles when you're already tired. ps ja orienteering kills mileage

Becks: Yeah, that was the original plan, but as the motivation seriously waned at about 10.53am, having already spent two hours in the lab that morning, I decided I had better just do it or it was never going to happen!

hel vino: ick going to the lab on weekends is so rubbish.
