drno glad niece is improving (and garmin too but obv less important ).

Glad piles easing peach

My goddaughter (and her mother) have strawberry blond hair but redder when younger. Think its lovely .

Logging 5 miles on treadmill - warm up then km intervals of 12, 12.5, 12.5, 12 . Recovery of 500m which was too long and will up speeds of intervals but not sure what is happening in shin dept so didn't want to go mad. Total time around 43 mins I think.

Ah, rhet we were separated at birth. If your toenails are as bad as mine, it's just uncanny.

simple is good - and it works for you, so why change it?

Nah too complicated rhet. My running plan is pick a number out of thin air that I want to be able to run at pace wise (so say 7.30m/m) then train like a piss artist on meth for weeks at that pace. Bingo.

that's good! Sorry, was just reacting to the BBC weather there. I saw much too much snow last year.

rhetorician · 24/11/2011 22:39

I have one of them, as well, fanny, also on right leg. Never bothers me, although I do think that the blood supply to the calf muscles in that leg isn't quite as good - more prone to stiffness/cramps etc

dry, windy, and relatively warm, looks like

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 22:37

Yikes, the snow's coming.... flashbacks to last year... Shock

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 22:36

what's the weather meant to be like in Dublin the next couple of days rhet? DP is trying to decide on what coat to bring?!

that'll slow her down, for sure!

rhetorician · 24/11/2011 22:35

left or right?

rhetorician · 24/11/2011 22:35

well I did the spreadsheet and I am shit at them, so anyone who can type numbers and press enter can use it -

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 22:33

rhet we appear to be holding onto Fanny's legs together. Shall we just take a leg each?

Calm down, calm down!! How funny, you two posted very similar posts! Grin. I'll stay but only if you do me a spreadsheet rhet. I'm allergic to anything that isn't on Safari or Firefox.

rhet I'm going to borrow my chum's HRM and see how unfit I really am.

Oh there's a Shred thread where someone's asking what Shredding is. . I've jumped on. This may be a farewell from me, I have fresh meat to be evil to.

ps on the spod theme, I'm afraid that I actually do have an excel sheet for calculating heart rate % Blush for someone who works with words I sure do like numbers

rhetorician · 24/11/2011 22:27

sticky it's really really easy - just work out your max heart rate and resting heart rate and then run your numbers through my excel sheet (ha ha ha). Seriously - I'm simply doing a couple of months running at

stickyLFDTfingers · 24/11/2011 22:19

drno hope your niece continues to improve. Thank god for antibiotics. Also glad to hear the garmin's OK.

I was born with bright red hair, but in the end only the little bit at the front stayed red. Actually am a bit gutted, it would have been great to have real flame red hair. Certainly more interesting than mouse...

I'm off to google what piles actually are (will probably regret this)

rhet I want to do what you're doing with the HRM. I have HRM envy.

monkeyLFDTwench · 24/11/2011 22:16

drN you talk about Percy Pile almost fondly ....

Hope your niece improves and feels better soon.

Gosh yes, in my dire straits re your Garmin I totally overlooked your poorly niece DrNo Blush. Hope she's ok.

Dr No glad that niece is improving - it makes you realise what antibiotics are really for, doesn't it?
