Tis The Season

[El Gordo]

I'm sure you'll find life pretty comfortable in our FLM/ Paris Sunday groups Andy, there'll be plenty of +10 minute milers for you to chat with. Today around ten runners stuck to the eight mile Wire route, accompanied by the Lycra'd One (happily still on foot). This route will be extended - and the group expanded - over the weeks to take on Telscombe and the Famous Residences (a couple of challenging but relatively short hills) and so on until they take on the denizens of the hills. Not everyone will be ready to 'step up' at the same point so there will be several distrance groups heading out on any given Sunday (everyone lopes the first three miles to Saltdean together).

Fingers crossed that knee settles down and you get to join us - it would great to share some of this wonderful runscape with you.

OK mate, it's a deal. All being well, I'll get along for a pre-Almeria loosener (no, not that sort of loosener -- I'm hoping to be still on the wagon through January). The schedule I'm nominally following is the FIRST thing I mentioned on the TypePad blog. They have a sort of novice schedule as well as an improver. Neither is quite right for me so I'm steering a path between the two.

The former has a January long run schedule of 10,11,12,10 while the other goes for 13, 15, 17, 20.

I'll be in touch after Christmas to try to work something out.
