in Training
Morning all
What: have to admit that throat glands were up yesterday so `flunked' on bike ride and short run on Sat. So will do at least an hour today. Meeting my mate @ 9am for our first post FLM run together.
Just recovering from a dinner party of much lager and wine (yes we do have dinner parties in Barnsley)!
If there's one run in a week that is sacrosanct it is Sunday.
Good luck to all of you who are currently in the Land of Nod.

Last hard: Folkestone 10 Fri.
Last rest: Thur
What:will try and fit in a 5 mile easy run today
Why:racing 10k tomorrow
Last:hard:a week ago!!
Last rest:nearly all this week
BR-hope you feel better soon. I too have a rotten cold as long as it stays off my chest I'll still race tomorrow. Thinkers crossed!
My own legs still have a tiredness in them from FLM, so will "go back to the floor" and test out run/walk. Might be a nice little speedwork session for me anyway as I'm sure he'll be running quicker than my normal pace.
Why - Legs ache slightly from yesterday, will rest them today
Should i be running with my feet??? (and i don't want the advice that i should use my hands...)
Legs not too bad today, but hip joints a bit sore from the downhill impact, so:
What: 3 mile gentle recovery plod
Why: see above
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Thursday
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
My ankles are aching in anticipation
what: 7 mile acceleration run, sort of speed work on a treadmill.
why: Because I like this one.
last hard: 3 weeks ago - marathon in Connemara, fabulous place and a must for anyone, end of March again nest year see you there.
last rest: yesterday
Thats a bit confusing, I have been running in the time between but just 4 or 5 milers, my training proper continues from now.
It sounds like my kind of work out :-)
Happy racing to the racers.
Hilly, can't believe you're racing already! Don't think I could muster any speed yet ('speed' being relative term here)
What: 4-5 miles
Why: still recovering.
Have a good day everybody.
What 5.5 miles easy
Why just easing back into things
Last hard: last Sunday
Last easy: resting all week
Had a good run. OK so it was slow but that's all I was aiming for plus I have a minor cough so didn't want to push it at all. Legs feel strong, and really enjoyed it.
Felt good to be running again.
what: will try 18M today. My longest run ever.
Good luck for tomorrow, Hilly.
Have a great day/training/resting/recovering.
Well done Lynne. Fell racing is a different ball game altogether isn't it?
I was also the penultimate finisher in my first and only fell race.
It was at the Reeth (N.Yorks) show 3 years ago and I thought that it would be a group of local people running up and down a hill so I'd so it for a bit of fun.
19 hardened fell racers turned up. I was 16th at the top of the hill then rapidly lost contact with everyone as they flew downhill and all I could think was how to avoid getting injured.
I finished 19th because one bloke went the wrong way and was last!
Would not do one again as it seems a good way to get injured.
What: 4 miles run @ 10k pace.
Why: preparing for 10k racing
Last rest: Monday
Last hard: Thursday
I do like these runs on a treadmill, the distance can be varied sometimes to half mile intervals or the time can be done instead.
Still tired
but getting back to it
Now off to the hozzie
well done, Lynne.
benz - you're not seriously off to work, are you? hope the run went well and you're recoverng nicely.
what: 12M along the towpath and up into Richmond Park, windy but warm, but so much pollen about ... anyone else starting to suffer?
hope all you FLM recoverers are doing nicely.
have a good one, folks.
im the only renally qualified doctor on duty today, and the juniors wont know what to do, so its quicker if i see him
Been on call all week, cant wait for a bevvy or 10 tomorrow
Cant imagine running 12 miles
I'll be going out for 3/4 miles steady later with a mate who wants to get fit to take a pilots licence and needs help.
where's this promised rain then? Would you believe that there are cricket grounds all round Merseyside in desperate need of a good soaking!
what: the usual Sunday routine - very slow 25 mins or so with Matthew, then easy 55 mins later including 1 significant hill
why: best time to fit in a long(ish) run.
last hard day: Mon
last rest day: Can't count yesterday, so Tuesday's gentle bike ride will have to count
Really stiff again after another long innings yesterday. If this were a cricketing forum, I'd be full of stuff about League PBs. But it isn't, so I'll have to make do with moaning about running like a 3-legged donkey instead.
Good luck tomorrow Hilly - take care - FLM was only last week.
Ditto Barnsley with that throat
Well done LynneW - not a type of event I've dared to have a crack at!
Hilly,
best of luck with the race tomorrow, I'll be interested to hear how it goes so soon after London as I've been roped into racing on Wednesday.
Achilles,
I'm amazed that you voluntarily did 12M today, I went out for a steady 8M and got lost!! Couldn't believe it. Ended up doing about 13M, totally shattered now, afternoon nap looking inevitable ;-)
Popsider,
is this Swarkestone / Chellaston in Derbyshire? If so I must be out your way when I'm riding my bike, usually do a loop from Beeston taking in Swarkestone, Aston-on-Trent, King's Newton, Isley Walton, Castle Donnington etc.
Right, I'm going for a kip.
I will give this counting thing another go but not when I cross the road!
Anyone else tried counting?
