    Hello,

    Just a quick post to see who is coming to Portugal this year and to see if anyone is interested in grouping together to hire a minibus?

    Not sure if it is a viable suggestion right now but thought it would be good to get an idea of numbers and flight times, so we don’t have to fit 15 of us into a Volkswagon polo and have people fighting on who sits on Dave’s knee! :)

    Let me know what you think and I will investigate.

    Cheers

    Chris

      Great idea Chris. Please count the two of us in, as long as you dont want me to drive.
      Believe me, you dont!
      I didnt get to sit on Dave’s knee, but I did witness the joint driving skills with Steve.
      Not being a religious person, I think that was the last time I said a prayer. :)

    Have been meaning to post this for almost a week now but have finally got it done. On the 16 th of October in a sunny but cool Amsterdam I finally achieved my goal of running a sub 3:30 marathon. It has taken 5 attempts but it was well worth the wait, crossing the line in [...]

      A brilliant result for yourself and Helen. It was a great day as you all finished and there were some spectacular results. 6 out of 7 of you ran a marathon pb! We also had several pb’s and returns to form in the half later in the afternoon. Definitely a top Autumn marathon and it is worth waiting until the cooler weather arrives. Conditions were perfect! 2012 looks very exciting for you both………..well done guys.

      I quite agree Chris. Good luck to you all. Forecast is for 23 degrees and sun on race day by 12 noon. Lets hope the weather forecasters have an off day! Good luck guys and remember how well you have been training, especially our own Martin Williams, Steve Watmough, Stella Moss and Ben Feas.

    Hi Sue, have been meaning to say that I did the same test back in June and it was a very good experience. I need to arrange my follow up session but it was good to see the initial data and gauge where I am and what I need to do to go forward.

    In reply to - suewatson wrote a new blog post: money well spent Last week, I had an exciting session running on a treadmill wearing a face mask and having blood samples taken from my ear lobe. It was all in a good cause… I have been struggling to find my threshold levels by the usual measures of HR/effort/pace. So Nick [...] · View

    I am up for that and I know Helen would be too. We should try and put something together.

    In reply to - Simon Freeman commented on the blog post Change As Good As A Rest? Chris, I totally agree with how much a change of scenery can make a huge difference. I sometimes think that if I run around Victoria Park one more time my head will explode. I have been thinking about catching the train out of London [...] · View

    This weekend me & Helen were in Edinburgh for a friends wedding so we had the chance to do our long run somewhere different rather than Greenwich Park/Blackheath or the Thames Path!! After a long lie we ran part of the Water of Leith walkway. Our run took us from my parents house, up to the Union [...]

    ThumbnailAlgarve focus week Have just got back from the inaugural ‘Running With Us’ focus week in the Algarve. I booked this back in December last year and have been looking forward to it since, only to find that it flew by way too quickly. This is down to a number of factors – great: coaching, training, group [...]

    Ran the Brighton Half 4 weeks ago which was great, different route from when I ran it last, much better. Took it easy and did 1:41 which I was happy with. It’s Brentwood this Sunday so going to push it and see how I go. Although looking at the profile of it those hills could be a killer! Only 10 days till the Algarve and really looking forward to it. Does anyone know the best way to get from the airport to Alfamar Hotel?

      Chris, I have used Elite Tours a few times. Cost is 36 euros for 1 or 2 people from Faro Airport to Alfamar or return. Telephone is 00351 289 322716. EMail is elitetour@elitetour.com.pt. Hotel quoted 48 euros – not that i’m tight or anything… Steve
