Jokes aside, the next few months are the greatest test of the athlete. Anyone can pull on their trainers on a blue sky day. But you've got to think blue sky, when it's not. No excuses. Get out there! Get that run in.

@moveorperish @ErwanLeCorre Absolutely. You have to have intent. Do stuff

Villa definitely a team on the up....no doubt

On the farm this weekend....Barry's Breakfast tea constantly flowing....endlessly. Black and white pudding for breakfast....chops for lunch and beef for dinner/tea and sandwiches. Might need a Wayne Lineker 7 day water only fast after this. These health gurus eh!

@Stephen_Logan Always a good place to fall!

One of those runs that felt tough despite trying to take it easy. Definitely a run where you question if good is being done. These runs happen. Hopefully not too often!

It's been a few weeks in the doldrums here. Tiredness, sickness, work, life stuff. Consistency totally up and down. It's not ideal, but getting out there for something. Something is better than nothing, even when things aren't ideal.

@poetwithpace Unless you buy your shoes off vinted

A random schedule based on what someone thinks is quite a gamble. But if it's someone who knows, you have more of a chance. Knowing is important in the run game.

@Stephen_Logan @Beverleyparkrun Nice shirt

A friend recently said and keeps saying, " We all end up in a fight for our lives. It's what we do to prepare ourselves for that day that matters." 🙏

Nature, soft surfaces, relaxation and simplicity. A time gone by.

One of the greatest challenges for improvement in running....life...is probably distraction.

Lydiard said that good and bad training looks the same. Everything has to have context and fit for the individual. 20 miles at 6.00 min pace can build....for others it's a destroyer.

There are systems that just destroy athletes. Clubs, coaches, training groups...philosophies. We often see the successes, but there can often be many failures. Some athletes that could have been better, if the management had been there.

@ed800m @j_ashworth656 @Tigga594 Looks like it's brewing in the sky

@HuToll It's a wonderful thing to run workouts and feel in control. You don't respect it at the time

@HuToll I think systems in their purest forms are not always suitable and rarely so. Whatever training is undertaken it has to be with the individual in mind. I don't think this is adhered to much. There's not a magic code...There's your code....

@HuToll Horwill had many successful athletes and many more we don't know so much about
