Thur 9.00pm - 5.8km speedplay (26min)
consisted of 4 x hard efforts.
woodland trail - warmer this evening.
keep up the good work everyone
My knees are starting to ache a bit, but hopefully this will pass and not develop into anything nasty like an injury.
Some great training being put in by others - and I like how this thread acts as a subtle motivation tool.
8M commute back home, 8:45m/M. Picking up the mileage week by week
Nice to see this threat being so lively. Keep it up people!
Today a 4M which was about re-introducing a bit of speed work, 6x340m in 1.13-1.15. It wasn't much, but of the right intensity. Leg feels fine and I feel am actually starting to do a bit of proper training again.
Mini-taper before Spen 20 on Sunday: 2 miles @ moderate pace around Waterloo. Superb conditions!
Enjoy your weekends, all!
This morning- 10 mile easy. Enjoyed it very much until the some Jehovah's Witness stopped me to try to thrust the Watchtower at me. WTF!?
Dutch: good to see your comeback continuing.
Swittle: good luck at the Spen 20.
5 treadmill miles for me in 39 minutes, so 7:45 m/m pace.
3 miles in 9.47 m/m. Lately I seem to have taken 2 steps forward and one back, but I am determined to set some PBs for myself this year!!
Did some Pilates afterwards.
Pace was very consistent at around 08:45 per mile, until the last three miles which were just under 08:30....
Happy running to you all
20 miles for me in 2:44, so 8:12 m/m average, which is just 3 seconds under target m/m pace. Left home at 5:45 am so was nice to have the run done and dusted by 8:30 am. Time to put the feet up for some well earned rest after a heavy weeks training.
Good luck to anyone racing tomorrow.
Good going Solent and YoungPup
Squawk - it is the steps forward that count
swittle - good luck in the 20
Sat - 11am - 12km (54 min) - woodland trail mixed terrain - ran the first 6km hard and the second 6km steady
Beautiful morning for running - sun and breeze
Have a good weekend everyone
Sun 8.00am - 17.1km (1.28) - slow run at conversation pace.
lovely conditions for running - mild but fresh - quite a few early morning runners out.
easy week ahead before the Liverpool half marathon next Sunday.
good running everyone
You're doing great things Surrey Runner! Great pace for an LSR.
Solent Runner, you're looking good as well.
Nice one Cidlad. Liverpool half should go well for you.
Me: 12M on the Meon Valley Trial in just under 8m/M. Pleased with effort on a surprisingly warm afternoon.
Looking at the previous posts, my efforts seem a bit measly but I'll post anyway!
Ran outside for the first time today - I only started running recently and have been using the treadmill at the gym so I can gauge my times, pace etc easily... and because it's dark in the evenings still! - and managed to go ten minutes longer than ever before... 30 mins / 5k!
I found the time passed much more quickly running in the great outdoors and luckily I have a big park with lots of different routes to choose from right on my doorstep. so think I'll aim to do one longer run on the weekend in the park and stick with the treadmill for my shorter after work runs until it gets a bit ligher in the evening.
Gorgeous day and underestimated how warm it was - long tights & thermal most definitely not required!
Never felt comfortable or got in a rhythm and the last 3 miles in particular were torture.
On the plus side once I'd stretched and refuelled I felt fine, so I know I'm getting fitter. A confidence boost for Reading 1/2 in 3 weeks
Some cracking training going on.
5M Fartlek done
Well done, pixiepie. Running outdoors is much more interesting than a treadmill.
What a lovely day it was yesterday! I ran in the afternoon and did 6.33 miles at 10.14 m/m, which isn't a great time but I was feeling a bit sluggish (probably due to a rather nice cheese scone I had with some soup at lunch time!).
I finally managed to get around to buying some new running shoes, so the run was much more comfortable.
Love to hear about your training, everyone!
