Yup, take it easy and don't try to do too much too soon or you'll either injure yourself or get annoyed with lack of progress and give up (or even both!). You have plenty of time to train

Thanks girls. I was hoping to go to the gym today, but I've had to rest again today. I'm going to have a nice hot monkey bath later, and see how I feel in the morning.

I think I'm going to also have to have a word with Dan (my free personal trainer, yay I'm so lucky ) and tone down my training routine for a few weeks as obviously I am pushing it a bit too far too soon.

Birmingham Half Marathon today. The organisation was complete ****e and the start was chaos. I was on the wrong side of the barrier in a scrum to get to the start when the race actually began.
Ran it in 1:50:26, which I'm pretty happy with considering I ran a marathon 2 weeks ago. This soon after London, I was still struggling with 5-6 miles at running club. It just goes to show how much stronger a runner I've become. Still, not looking forward to my next marathon in 2 weeks. Erk!!!!

Good job on the half marathon, 1h50m seems a pretty good time to me regardless of having run a full marathon just two weeks ago!

Get some rest for the next few weeks?!

Thanks Yeah, no long runs for me until Rutland in 2 weeks. 6-7 miles down the club tops.

Sooooooooo...... what's been going on runners?

I've got my 10k next weekend. I did a bit of a longer run than normal last night from Croydon to Penge which equates to about 8km according to the map and I did that in 40 minutes flat with my rucksack on with clothes and laptop in which I'm happy with

What's a good website for calculating distance? Ideally it would be something I can plot a route onto by clicking the points I passed.

Google maps can do that using the directions thing, just keep adding points to it.

MapMyRun ought to do it for you, it's fairly easy to use.

Nothing much has changed on the running front for me, I've been trying to go whenever I can in work although recently our little running club seems to have suffered a lot from people crying off - maybe it's just the time of year where it looks less appealing to go.

I use MapMyRun too, works out well though the "undo" feature is a bit dubious - it sometimes removes distance but the line stays the same.

I've been hitting a new route that avoids the flooded canal, just over 8k but my times are more 50 mins than 40 (with backpack though don't find it makes a huge difference?). Having a few issues with a tendon or ligament in my right knee so having to take a few breaks :s
