SR - hope your leg is ok and the weekend off is all you need!
Dutch - Good luck for tomorrow!
A 5 mile faster paced run today with 4 x 800 intevals at my 10K pace. Overall the session worked out to 8:35 mm pace which with a warm up and cool down was ok. I am going to rest my legs now for two full days as I have a 10K summer league run on Tuesday evening and it would be nice to be a little bit quicker.
Hello people,
Did the Lordshill 10k this morning, in 40.24. A tad disappointing but the weather was hot, I set off a bit too hard, and the course was fastish, but with a couple of tricky bits. Altogether did not quite manage to beat 40min. Never mind. I'm still on course re: Marathon training, and this is good pace maintenance for that.
Speaking of which, first "run" in 10 days. Injured right knee and lower leg heavily strapped. Shin and knee uncomfortable and aching but covered a slow 2.5 mile loop. Iced it and strapped it afterwards. Doesn't seem to have made anything worse at least. Doing plenty of gym work and will try another couple of short runs over the next 7-10 days.
Knackered knees I'm used to, but never had this kind of dull ache in my shin before. I am a little bit worried it might a slight stress fracture. Or I'm turning into a hypochondriac. Or both. Very frustrating.
Well done Dutch, it's not good running in this heat. It has been a scorcher here today too so not nice racing conditions. I am really glad that I didnt enter the Humber Bridge HM today as I dont think I could have ran in 27 degrees! I really hope that it cools for my 10 K on Tuesday.
JT141 - Hope you are back out again soon.
5.75M Fartlek. Hard and done on a dry Monday morning
Been pouring down all weekend.
Not like down south...
morning people.
Hope JT and SR are recovering ok.
Me; 8M in this morning, in the burning sunshine. Have recovered well from yesterdays race. Felt quite easy this am.
14.9 miles yesterday.
Went out just after 10am and by 11am it was blisteringly hot and I had a hangover which made it all seem ten times worse. Took just under 2 hours but felt like double that.
Nice one Birkmyre; I seem to notice that your sessions are getting a bit longer!
Me: 7.5M in humid conditions, off road. Managed just under 8m/M but it felt like hard work.
Well, I finally did it!! 10 K tonight in 49:29!!
My Garmin battery stopped after about half a mile so I picked a couple of people to keep up with who I knew usually went quicker than me, just after the halfway point I felt pretty strong so just went. I am so chuffed as I didnt really expect to do it until August. Over 2 minutes off my last personal best from last November as well.
4M off road Steady for me on another cracking sunny Scottish summers morning
wheee hey! Nice one Alib! Must be very satisfying!
On the next milestone!
Yes Dutch it was satisfying! Next milestone now is a sub 1:50 HM hopefully at the GNR in September. I have already started on the plan which takes me up to 40 miles a week but I will have to start running 5 days a week soon.
5m Hills off road on a sunny and warm day, another one
Hard session though !
Dutch: Cheers getting a bit fitter and getting out of my routine. I'm really a creature of habit.
Good luck with the next milestone Alib. Don't push too hard too soon though... That way injury lies....
Me: 8M in with 30min tempo. Managed to do almost 10k speed which I'm quite pleased with.
Thanks Dutch. No I wont be pushing too hard. I have stopped the 2 circuit training classes as I think It was just getting too much and my knees and foot feel much better for it!
Probably just a 5 mile for me later. There is a freedom parkrun so I will jog there and back. I was planning my longer run but my legs are a bit stiff from Tuesday's 10K so will do it tomorrow instead.
3.28km (2 miles, roughly) in 24 minutes.
Nothing special by any means. As I said in one of the beginners threads, I'm running for a minute more on the treadmill each day and hope to start outdoors when I'm fit to run for 30mins straight.
Welcome Metfan!
Hope you get outside soo, It doesnt matter if you have to stop and walk for a bit. Check and see if there is a local 5 K parkrun near you. There are a real range of abilities, from the speedy ones that finish in around 15 minutes to the people that finish is around 50 minutes who walk.
Second run back from injury today in the rain. Knee and shin strapped up. Planned 2.5 miles. Leg ached and ankle was a bit painful (didn't think to strap that this time). Running and pace felt normal so stuck another mile on at the end. I'm iced and bandaged now as a precaution, but certainly seem to be recovering. Another week of easing myself back in and hopefully should be okay again.
Thanks JT141. Glad to hear that you are on the mend.
SR hasnt posted with his usual long runs, hope his niggle hasnt turned into something more serious.
welcome Metfan!
Hope things will continue to look up JT
Alib; I've wondered about SR as well. His megalong runs are always a bit of a motivator for me!
Me: 8M commute home, in just under 8m/M
Thanks Deadstar!
Just done the Parkrun freedom run which was self timed. Didnt take my Garmin but it was a few seconds under 25 minutes but I am going to do a long run tomorrow so wasnt planning on pushing hard!
I was going to run there and back to add an extra few miles but was offered a lift. A few people went to the local for a drink afterwards so obviously I had to go! Didnt want to be anti-social.
Great stuff, Alibi - beating the numbers is useful motivation.
Ran a Streaksaver at 10 past midnight for reasons not altogether clear, even to me - just a mile & a smidge around the block.
Normal service resumes tomorrow morning, quite early 
3.5M Easy as legs very heavy from yesterdays session.
. Recovery run. Cracking sunny morning, again, up here
