Well I did the 10K race today with a PB (by just a few secnds) but was a little disappointed as I should have taken a minute off really. I just really needed water and stopped at both stations so I could drink properley so lost time there. It wasnt even hot so for future races I need to look at what I have eaten / drank the night before as this has happened before. Maybe I also need to do some speed training or tempo runs over the 10K distance.
5.25M Tempo run. Not bad.
alibee: congrats on pb.
Jamie: I was a wee bit stiff on Sat morning from climbing Ben, hence the later post
alibi -
for your PB
Yesterday: 10.8 mile recce of the last section of the "Yorkshireman" off road Marathon: Denholme Velvets to Haworth. Squally showers transformed the course but helpful in navigational terms.
Thanks everyone.
No run for me today. I thought I would have a rest and run with the club tomorrow night. It is really hard to get my runs in in the school holidays! Only two full weeks of training before I go on holiday so I need to try harder. I will have to take my trainers on holiday as I have the GNR 10 days after I get back. Realistically I probably wont do much distance in the heat in Cyprus but any effort is better than none!
5 mile easy run tonight.
25:40
Ran with HRM for first time kept pulse at 171 average.
Legs heavy from gym session yesterday which was good but after first day back at work for 6 weeks.
did 3 min plank!
3 x 15 20kg squats
3 x 15 100KG calf raise
2 x 20 32KG hamstring curl
50 leg raises
1KM run in 3:19min to turn legs over quick and get used to treadmill speed.
Will be looking to recover well ready for busy work weekend and then some hard session in prep for race soon
Around 8.5 miles today. 13 miles on Sunday with some cross country planned. I am hoping that the weather stays cool.
Just 4 miles for me today, legs felt tired so was not going to bother but I am glad that I did as they dont feel any worse for it. Rest day tomorrow and a 12 or 13 mile run on Sunday.
My Great North Run number came today, I am really looking forward to it now! I am in Zone C which I am pleased about.
Anyway, I actually started to feel so much better, that once I circled my way back to the car, I felt so guilty for my bad behavior taking the short cut, that I started again for a second loop of the same shorter course, making it about a 6k hilly run!
When I got back to the car again, I actually contemplated going again!! I felt great!! But I could feel my feet arches were straining abit and I thought, Id just leave it there today, instead of injuring myself. So that I could have another go at it tomorrow!
Im really wrapped with that run because it is the first run Ive had in ages where I havnt had a blister too! I always get blisters.. My running schedule is pretty much dictated my my blisters and how they have healed. But today I put on a second skin gauze thingy on my toes and shazaam!! No blisters!! Im so excited now! Thats one more excuse I cant use to hold me back. Which is great news!
Anyway, 7.65 miles today which is my longest for a while. The shin injury wasn't a problem during the run, just needs a bit of aftercare. Half on road and half off. Had to stop at a manned rail crossing for ages, and was all over the place when I started again (I seemed to have forgotten how to run). That resolved itself. Sun was out for a while and it got pretty warm. Lots of friendly drivers today letting me cross the roads without having to stop or break stride. God bless 'em.
This week will be building up to the pride 10k so no real heavy sessions which will be a welcome break for the legs.
Hadn't eaten all day so took it easy.
still nice to be out for an hour though.
5.25M Fartlek and got soaked half way round it.
Some right good training going on.
Good to read.
5.25M Steady. I was only going to do a 4, but felt okay so every mile helps.
Dry and very mild this moriong up here.
