Guys, Thanks so much. Looks like its probably worth me doing at least some weight based training. Greg i would guess I am along way short of the sort of lifts you mention so will do the tests and work on achieving the levels. If anything i find i have a tendency to over-train, I love pulling hard on...

Re: Do i need to cross train / weight train ?
Hi,
Pretty idle if im honest . Occasional runs and quite active lifestyle but no serious training.
Since i started back have managed a 41:27 10k and last night a 1:35:7 500m which did nearly kill me!
Early 40's - 6ft and carrying to much weight !

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan

Bad back / shoulder and most worryingly wrist. Another few days of rest better sort it out or else...... Well or else I won't be happy
Good to read a lot of quality sessions Bill, Huw & Colin

Re: L4s, etc...the Wolverine(sque) Plan
A few days off I think, woke up today and my right hand is quite painfull across the base of the thumb,not happy
Hoping that its just a slight strain and nothing more, we will see. Guess it gives me an oppurtunity to clock some road miles

Re: Anyone had any PBs recently?
On the spot decision to try for one of my longer PB's the Hour
Set the splits at 6 mins and aimed to do at least 1500 in each split, giving me 15000m
Managed this and some and allthough very hard even pacing paid off - Even went through 10k in 38:58 a big PB
