Martin
“Penguin Style” from RWs penguin chronicles A.K.A. just getting around
Will
What: Hoping to do some speedwork at lunchtime
Why: It should make me feel better
Last hard day: Tuesday
Last rest day: yesterday
What: walk dog, 500m swim. Still a little disappointing - dizzy and tired still. Dizzy in a swimming pool makes for crashing into people and lane dividers.
Maybe I'll enquire what exactly was in the potion I drank at the hospital on Friday in the spirit of enquiry. (Testing for lactose intolerance.) Apparently I am as tolerant of lactose as any man. All the same, since then peculiar and definitely unwanted things have been happening.
why - some discomfort from 9 yesterday
last hard - yesterday
last rest - Saturday
last week before I start my 8 week race schedule - guess I better plan it now.
Why: Didn't practically everybody race yesterday?
Last hard: Yesterday's 1/2 m.
Last rest: Sat.
Why: Don't feel tired after yesterday.
Last hard day: Do we count yesterday's "race"?
Last rest day: Friday
Why: recovery , bizarrely I have aching achilles/lower calves this morning , never had that before.COuld it be my ageing Asics which are probably approaching 'gardening duties'
Last Hard : Yesterday
Last Rest : Friday
why: raced 10k yesterday in pb (see below) but was in reality still recovering form last weds inspite of 2 very easy sessions and 1 rest day
last hard day: yesterday
last rest : Friday
Moral dilemma from yesterdays 10k, own watch timed at 44:59, official timing ca 10 secs more. do I count this has having "broken" 45 mins for 10k for the first time?
I've never paid much attention to official times, apart for those events which are "chipped". Your actual time is the time on your watch, since that's how long it took you to complete the distance.
Well done on breaking 45 minutes for the 1st time.
What: Should have a rest day after covering a lot of miles (admittedly, most at walking pace) yesterday, but I feel really twitchy this morning. Deliberately didn't pack any running shoes to bring to work, but might try to sneak off for an afternoon swim and fit in a round-the-block 5K between hometime and sunset tonight.
Why: Because I'm a stupid b*gger and a fully paid-up endorphin junkie and one of these days I'm gonna get injured again. Can always rest tomorrow, dammit.
Last rest day: Friday. Complete veg-out.
Last hard day: Yesterday.
Why: Managed a very comfortable 10 yesterday, so getting back into my usual routine
Days since last hard run: Last Sunday
Days since last rest: Saturday
Well done to everyone who raced this weekend
Gareth
Why: Did my long run of 15 miles, and climbed up a big hill (1.5 hours) on Saturday
Last hard day: Well, Saturday, but it was fun! Especially the post walk pub session, the meal out, the bottle of red etc
Days since last rest: Yesterday - big slob
Why: Did 13 mile run then KRUF 10K immediately afterwards yesterday (total running time 2:43:18).
Last hard day: see above. May not be hard for some people but it's the furthest I've ever run!
Days since last rest: Saturday.
Just been looking at the Anglo Celtic Plate 100k results (Cardiff 1st Sept'). First home was Chris Finell of Harrow A.C. in 7:17:05. Now that's a hard run!!!
Why: just look at the weather
last day trained: Saturday - ran past two kids who heckled me as "Godzilla" - I'm a fairly big guy, but Godzilla? - I wasn't wearing green or trampling Tokyo this particular run so no idea where that came from, does have a catchy something to it! perhaps I should change my nickname.
Opinions please?
Doggie walk to the park - maybe a mile maybe 2, we'll see how I feel
Why: Daytime TV is driving me mad already!
Last Hard Day: Friday (all the bits and bobs they did to me before letting me out of the hospital)
Last Rest Day: Thursday - did nothing all day!
why: masters session
last hard day: was supposedly yesterday but it poured with rain and i'm afraid i phoned hubby and got him to pick me up. i feel really silly for doing it now but i wasn't enjoying running in the downpour on a grass/mud track.
last rest day: saturday.
Mobility drills,
3 Miles @ Tempo pace (6:05/mile),
5 minute jog recovery,
2 x 1 Mile @ 5km pace (5:40/mile), 90 second jog recovery,
800M Easy pace,
800M @ 3km-mile pace (ended up being (5:50/mile pace, exhausted!),
1 Mile cooldown
[total quality distance= 5.5 Miles]
Why: 10km training session, sharpening for PB attempt so I want to see if I can maintain 10km pace when fatigued, etc. Bit peeved because the smelly rain meant I had to wear more layers, which eventually made me overheated, which in turn affected my splits.
Last hard day: today
Last Rest day: yesterday
Why: Day off after yesterdays 15 miler
Last hard run: yesterday
Last rest day: friday
Ran a couple of miles of my 15 miler on the Robin Hood half course yesterday. Looks like it will be fun come race day. I think almost all of our club will be turning out for this one (along with 8000 other crazy souls), can hardly wait!!
What: 8 mile recovery/maintenance run
Why: I've outlawed any runs of less than 50-60 minutes in the interests of keeping my weekly mileage up - I never enjoyed those 4 miles recovery runs where you only just get going before you have to stop. And they got me down - running slow, fine, running slow and short, I can't see the point.
Last Hard Day: tempo run yesterday
Last Rest Day: Monday last week (aiming for one day off a fortnight)
Why: cross training night
Last hard day: last wed. 10k
Last rest day: oh dear all weekend
Why: recovering from yesterday's (mediocre) speed endurance session
Last hard day: Sun
Last rest day: Sat
KK - 37:00 is too modest a target, given what you're doing in training. Even I've got a chance of achieving that, given suitably friendly conditions!
I doubt you'll find 18:15 for the first 5K too onerous, so why not aim for something in that area and then look to wind the pace up after halfway with whatever you've got left? Just a thought....
Sorry, this really belongs in the health and injury bit!
dc
What: 1hr circuits
Why: usual Monday routine.
Last hard: I suppose yesterday at GSR, although don't feel I raced it. No aches or pains and was able to work hard at circuits.
Last rest: Saturday.
Why: Am running the Robin Hood half on Sunday and thought it might help. (desperate or what?)
Only just feeling back in the swing of things after enforced lay-off.
