What- 4km plod with my son again today.
Why - Son woke me up and anoounced that he wanted to go.
Last Run:Saturday
Next Run: Wednesday 3k race.
Feeling chuffed that I ran for 40 minutes.
im treating myself to the gym
maybe some inclines in honour of the potteries!
Nothing again. Still feeling a little rough, and I have three days at the bench again starting today, and a violin to finish.
Have fun all.
I must admit though, I'm loving the early morning outside runs. I'm getting addicted to it.
makes you feel great for the rest of the day
Tim - what pace is steady and what pace is easy?
What: 8 this am including 6 @ marathon pace
pm - 4 slow.
Why: cannot go on much longer on this starvation running rations with tapering then recovery.
What: Walking in the Malverns.
Why: Trailwalker training, and I've got a day off work so I CAN.
Last hard day: Friday.
Last rest day: Saturday. And Sunday. For the first time since FLM, I was quite sore yesterday.
I'm taking my husband and daughter, but expect to plod on ahead and leave them to potter.
Hi all.
What: Fred Wright 10K.
Why: The challenge of finding out any information whatsoever about it. The race itself may seem tame after that.
Hard: Long, long ago.
Rest: The last couple. What with Friday's truncated nightmare, I'm nothing if not rested.
Have fun.
What: Will try five or six (legs still don't feel that good and its three days on the trot for me - don't usually do that...)
Why: Can't face much more and knees still feel funny post London (really want to go swimmign training - but have to wait til Thursday).
Last hard: FLM
Last long: FLM
Anyone racing today? - apart from the wind i can imagine its lovely out there for training and racing.
Well done FATG - we'll get out during the week - and re: your mail - no need to concern yourself - will be nice to run with someone - for however long, at whatever pace... Good to hear your son is up for it - great motivation for you too!!!!
nowt for me, after yesterdays longer than planned excursion I'll be having a mini-taper prior to Wednesdays race.
Have a good 'un.
later gators
Steady - is about 6:45 - 7min, so I can still talk or count!
Easy - my easy run's are normally at 6am so easy is what my legs will allow. I don't worry about pace.
The reason I swapped them about today is because I'm out to lunch at my parents house. My easy 4M will be either before or after watching Boston on TV this afternoon.
Just eating my 2nd breackfast of the day, after my 8M.
Yummy!
It's getting sunning here cath
bit gloomy here - what's that wet stuff on the ground?
Good luck Swerve
Popsider - isn't that the sesh you tried just a couple of days ago?
FTABG - well done! Helps to have a son to prod you into action. Wish mine did the same for me sometimes.
what: not sure. Thinking about something shortish & brisk, assuming legs are less stiff
why: I'm due something a bit more intense & demands of Easter Monday make it unlikely I'll get to the track at Bebington
last hard day: 7 days ago
last long(ish) day: Sun
last rest day: what's rest?
Oooh, shouldn't knock it though, I will be running on the fair streets of Kent this, er, Friday during a long weekend visit to the parents. Anyone know of any races in Kent this weekend?
What: 7-8 miles at marathon pace
Why: Looks like the easiest thing on marathon schedule this week and not feeling 100%.
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: Can't remember
Have a great day everyone - bit gloomy here as well with a big cloud duvet covering the mountains. Warm though.
allt his talk of gardening makes me wish I had a garden and not just a balcony. All I can plant is tomato plants and herbs!
I then thought that that's slower than Paula's slowest marathon mile.
Mile warm down then plenty of stretches.
Tim, those easy runs are nice aren't they?
Why besause walking is what I miss most about running.
Last hard. yesterday (race)
Last rest. Friday.
Today though, was a civilised 10am.
What: 8.4 miles @ 7 min/mile pace.
Why: Marathon pace check for Sunday, will call this max pace on the day I think and aim to go a little slower. Felt great and relaxed.
Last hard: Saturday (speedwork finding Easter eggs with the club ... choccie revealed a number of closet sprinters !)
Last rest: yesterday
Why? Legs still a bit sore after my fellrunning debut, but need to keep the mileage ticking over in case my entry is accepted for Chester halfmarathon.
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: Thursday
What's this wet stuff falling from the sky?
Well done PB on getting out at 5.30 on a bank holiday as well.Early ams are great for running but you really need to get into the habit of it.
Fitter TGLB, that's fab that your son's so motivated! A bonus for you and him.
What: 5 miles easy.
Why: not putting my watch back on until the weekend so as not to confuse training with recovery.
Thanks for info re cricket nets Mike. Still agonising about the national relays. As for running back I think 120 miles might be pushing it.
against all expectation, it's been bright and beautiful down here in "the smoke" this morning. great running weather.
well done, PB - serious dedication.
did a leisurely but painful 8M, still trying to recover from FLM - are marathons really worth it??!!!
enjoy the rest of the holiday, folks.
What: Just got back from 7 * 7 Minute Miles
Why: Started new schedule today for 10K in may
Last hard: FLM
Last Long: FLM
Last rest: Yesterday
- re 5:20 mile - I had much the same thought while doing my last track session. The only time I ran faster than Paula was on the first of my 10 200s......
I've got a very similar session to yours which I do on the road (measured) - with similar objectives to you (6 minute miling or I feel well p*ssed off).
Pleased you managed to do it this time - well done.
Think my next go at that session will be Friday.
