What : (Swim 60secs on the 50m)
Why : Edurance Threshold
SET: -
5 min w/u
200m in 4 mins + 1x50m in 60secs
15secs rest
150m in 3 mins + 2x50m in 60secs/50m
15secs rest
100m in 2 mins + 3x50m in 60secs/50m
15secs rest
5x50m in 60secs/50m
5min w/d
IE if the 200 was done in 3:50 this gave me 10 sec rest
This was harder than I expected (probably cos it was only my 3rd swim of the year)
... Make It Count ...
What: 45 minutes hilly fartlek
Why: Need to work on some more speed - getting better but not enough yet.
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Thursday
Roll on Friday.
What: 3 steady miles
Why: Easy day
Last Hard: Yesterday
Least Rest: Saturday
What: Probably treadmill intervals, refuel quickly, BodyPump and a swim. If there's time, I may go out for a little fartlek run this afternoon instead of doing the intervals.
Why: It's Wednesday.
Last rest day: Monday.
Last hard day: Yesterday was fairly hard.
What - Nothing
Why - Ran last 3 days
Last rest - Sat
Last Hard - Last night 12 x 150m hill sesh.
Anyway - got the call Sunday afternoon so dashed to Munich (a four hour drive) to do one hours work - thank god I had done a workout Sunday morning or I would have been seriously dischuffed. Two days in Munich and four hour drive last night. Managed to squeeze a session in Monday night in Hotel gym but had an enforced rest Sunday.
Tried to read the race reports this morning but thinks get pushed back so quickly nowadays - had to go to page 9 to find MikeS race report (well done to Mike and to all other racers).
Still not running but generally spending more time working out.
Today: 40 mins turbo trainer plus 15-20 minutes rower.
Why: Cross trainer extrordinaire
Last rest: Yesterday
Last hard: Sunday
Still no sign of Achilles? Still no KK?
Back to Munich tomorrow so limited opportunity to post - take the tapering easy all those gearing up for London and good luck to weekend racers.
well yesterday turned out to be another rest day, as we got a take away curry to celebrate a small unexpected windfall, so today is...
What : 7 miles fartlek
Why : Because I missed the speed session last night
Last Hard : Sunday
Last Rest : Yesterday
Have a good one all.
Rubberman, BodyPump is weight training for girlies but is ideal for runners wanting to add some strength training. Each class is an hour of low-weight, high-rep work with barbells, set to music, tightly choreographed, and working all the major muscle groups in a predetermined order.
what : rest
why : on the 4th day thou shall rest or dire things happen to muscles and joints
last hard : yesterday
last rest ; Sat
How much do I taper for a 2 mile race this w/e???? :-)
Why: cause I'm trying to scrape together enough go in my legs to get round 11 miles tomorrow.
In the mean time, I look at my lovely trainers, and have made sure that every single pair of runnable socks is presently in the wash so I can't cheat and go off. Alas with this beautiful weather they'll dry quickly, so maybe I'll have to hand the trainers over to a neighbour for safe keeping.
Got to grasp nettle and attempt the longer distances sometime, somehow.
What: 1 hour cycling
Why: nursing my achilles after yesterday's intervals
Last Hard: Yesterday
Least Rest: Saturday
What: Rest.
Why: Cold. Better today, though. Much sniffling & blowing, but most of the lung soup's gone.
Hard: Sunday.
Rest: Since then.
Might have a light sesh tomorrow, or failing that Friday. Got a Half on Sunday, so it might turn into a whole week off. :-(
Anyway, have fun everyone.
what: 9k steady
have a lovely day, everyone!
Wow another great day here, and a good session for me this morning.
What: 2000m row with extreamly hard 500m inbetween, then mega session on the bike, 20 minutes of pure pain, covering 16.48km on a hill programme, heartrate going to the 190bpm mark, this was bloody hard work.
Weight resistance on chest, then 45 minutes of stretching from physio.
Why: Cant run today, so done hard workout to make up for it, and stretches are done everyday and more if possible.
Last Hard: Take a guess!!
Last Rest: Monday
Off to bed now, working tonight.
What: 4 miles easy/steady.
Why: Training plan says so!
Last hard: Saturday.
Last rest: Yesterday.
Rubberman, I have done BodyPump once or twice and it's not for the faint-hearted! I consider myself to be pretty fit but it uses completely different muscles from running. Hence after an hour's class at Center Parcs last year I was unable to run (barely able to walk, in fact!) for two or three days as my thigh muscles were wrecked!
another beautiful day in Notts but no running for me today, I'm taking this tapering lark seriously! Already feels like backing off a bit is working, last nights fartlek session was my best time for the long interval (1.5 - 1.8M) winter workout session all season, so it seems like just stepping back from 22M to 18M last Sunday has restored some of the spring to my step. Can hardly wait to see what happens after cutting back to 13M this Sunday.
What: nowt
Why: it's taper time
Last hard run: Tuesday evening
Last rest day: today
Have fun all.
Chafed to bits, but new shoes ok
Then a km swim
Lovely 5m easy run this morning. Great to get it out the way before work.
Last Hard:Last night
Last Rest:Sat
Have Fun
why:chasing round after the Mr yesterday resulted in 3 trips to the hospital across the otherside of town - so was knackered
last hard: yesterday
las rest: today.
He's home by the way... bit battered and bruised and armed with TV remote, mags, drinks and a loud voice (sigh).
What- 12x800m reps
Why read the wrong week on my schedule, should be 800m reps, never mind.
Feeling pretty good now I'm off to the allotment, cheerio.
Why: weekly tempo run
Last rest day: Monday
Last hard: Sunday
What:rest
Why:did 2 sessions yesterday, which were hard but great. Today I'll recover before another hard session tomorrow of 12 miles at marathon pace.
Last hard:yesterday
Last rest:today.
Stickless - Good luck with your 11 tomorrow
What: 5-6 steady
Why: Its Wednesday
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: yesterday
L8r
What: 40 mins recovery
Why: Easy day after yesterday's speed
Last hard: Yesterday
Last rest: Monday
My programme for 13 April really does not seem to have a massive amount of tapering and will still leave me around 60miles this week with a long gentle run on Sunday of 18 miles and long midweek run tommorrow of 13 miles. But stood me in good stead until now so will persevere and keep longer sessions very gentle.

Martin , not ALL investment bankers are to$$ers, probably just those left with a job after 50,000 job cuts in London/NY
And no , we wern't all on 7 figure salaries....popular myth exagerrated by the media.
Didn't post yesterday but did (approx) 1.5 mile warm up, then 5 * mile fast (6:00-6:10)
with 2 mins recoveries , mile or so to finish.
Just under 9 miles in just under 59 minutes
Today : probably nothing - wife on a jolly up in town so can't get out.
Might bring the exercise bike in from the garage and do an hour whilst catching up on my OU reading.....
See ya soon
