Karl, does this mean you will be able to help me out on Sunday.

Might be interested in meeting you at some point for the last 3 - 4 miles depending on pace.

MM2

Depends what you need Bobby ?

We will be doing 'tween 9 and 9.5 min mile pace..???

Happy to help out if possible,
but your group are far too noisy (always shouting at us!)

And there's me thinking you wanted my running virtues !

I will try and make it, but assume you have other peeps involed in case I bottle it ?

If you want to do just a slower 3.5 miles -----

Park in the Anchor Pub at the end of Ferry Road, Hullbridge you can run the last 3.5 miles with us.

Our 5 miles to there will take 45 mins so we should be there about 8.15am.

Sunday 3rd May 7.30 am

Meet at Hockley Woods for Ernie's magical 10 miler.

Can be more, or less if you are post-london or pre-Halstead marathon.

Really Karl 10 easy/slow miles running trail shouldn't do any harm whether post London or pre Halstead Marathon.
Nothing like a good limbering up a week before the Halstead.

oh I know - but your slow and my slow are two different things !

Mike,

If I wasnt otherwise occupied (Recovering from Daughters leaving to New Zealand Party - ok its only for the snow season) I might have been interested. But you know i cant keep up with you so if you want to do a slow run on a sunday in future, let me know. Slow as in No faster than 10 min miling. However, I do want to get quicker

Will do MM2.

I need to do some regular 50-60% working heart rate stuff so long and slow is the name of the game.
Have fun with the carb loading tonight!

Mike
