‘Get up in the morning / Get yourself a pot / Make it strong / Make it black / Make sure there’s a lot’.
Rare morning run. Glorious, nice to feel the fresh chill as you open the door. I'm definitely going to need a couple of cups cups of coffffeeeee! @DeeringRob @RunComPod

That’s the way!.
I’ve just done my second easy run of the taper and it’s all starting to make good sense. I’m already feeling strong and sharp. 9 days to go to the big one!.#ratracecastletocastle100.@RunComPod.

Liquid health (and pep).
How's that for post run hydration? The holy trifactor. Coffee (obvs!) water and a smoothie of pineapple, ginger, turmeric, sunflower seeds and one whole, tiny, home grown lime! Bake Off rerun on telly. What a great morning! @RunComPod

Ah, Rob ran a Half there once. Lush, but - yes - some climbs for sure!.
…and a not so easy @DERBYRUNNER League face for @Heanor_RC .You’d think running at a reservoir would be flat 🥵 but at least Carsington was looking rather nice - almost like being at the beach @RunComPod

Is that the face of Strava? #YourWeekendRuns.
What happens when you let Strava choose your route @RunComPod ?.Well, on this occasion I got a nice 9 miler on some roads I’d not been on before - and even dished the showers!.Not to survive two races this week…. #yourweekendruns

Oh no! Take care… and run on. #YourWeekendRuns.
First back-to-back weekend in a while. Saturday long run including a lovely Itchen Valley ParkRun, then a Sunday 5 mile treadmill speedwork session. A long covid diagnosis won’t stop me!.@RunComPod .#YourWeekendRuns

Train on! #YourWeekendRuns.
Week 1 of my marathon training plan for @RunYorkshire but I also have a trail marathon in 4 weeks!! 😬 Needed something a little longer today but I didn't really fancy it after a heavy week of running. Thank goodness for friends and green spaces! @RunComPod 📷 @SuzMitchPhoto

Brilliant. #AaaaarrrrRRRROOOOger #YourWeekendRuns.
Great North 10k this morning, great fun and some great running. James got a 10k PB 🚨 with 32:28 (12th place), 15 secs quicker than his previous PB. A course PB for me of 48:09 (1,222nd 😂), 12 secs quicker than last year @RunComPod

Nice! #YourWeekendRuns.
Running home from @Dixtonjuniors Wales to England on sandy back roads. Listening to @DeeringRob #RTTK mixtape (always surprised what comes up next). @RunComPod

It’s the same; wherever you’re at, that’s where you’re at. NO GUILT. #YourWeekendRuns.
I'm so chuffed with completing my first 10k, in I don't know how long. It's taken five months to get back to this from a shuffly 3k. Felt a bit guilt as I listened to @DeeringRob getting to the last 11k of his ultra, while I was cursing my last k of just 10 😆 @RunComPod

We go again. #YourWeekendRuns.
@RunComPod well Runcommers, I'm sure many can empaphise. After last restart I tweaked back so it was another 2 weeks recovery. Niggle after niggle, is my body trying to tell me something? We go again and see what the body says. Happy Sunday!

Facts. Hard one to get your head round. Don’t worry if you get a little cold; that seems to happen.
@PaulTonkinson @RunComPod I feel bloody knackered. Guess that’s right for the end of a massive training block and the whole purpose of the taper. I Always under estimate how important a good sensible taper is.

Enjoy it. YOU ARE AND WIPL BE READY. #YourWeekendRuns.
So that’s it, last long training run done. Hopefully in exactly 2 weeks from now I’ll have completed my first 100 mile ultra and will be finding my way home from Edinburgh. Taper and carb loading now: the best bit!.@RunComPod #YourWeekendRuns

Glad you didn’t overtake the train and jump across in front of it like Superman. #YourWeekendRuns.
Hot n humid Sunday run with the latest @RunComPod for company. With a train delay and a few showers to run through for once! 👏👏👏
