Had to cut todays MTB ride in half due to very thick fog up on the moors - Will try to get a long ride in before end of week
More likely to be a combination of my mood and the fog that caused me to cut short, but...
What : 40k MTB (instead of 80k)
Why : My cycling fitness needs work
Last Hard Run : Sunday
Last Rest Day : Saturday
I kept it simple - rather than timing the miles (8:00, 7:30 etc) I just whacked the tready speed up by 1kph for two minutes on each speed. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.
I then decided to be tough on myself and come down in reverse - a sort of pyramid session.
I was tempted to go back up again and do:
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 15, 14, 15, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12
Well done with all the training today! Some really serious stuff going on. Keep up the good work people!!
What:10k race
Why:don't really know!
Last hard:I was certainly working hard today! Poor legs didn't know what had hit them!
Last rest:yesterday.
Not posting a report, so just to say it went ok. I was pleased with 43 mins as a post London 10k and it was very windy. Legs still lack speed and I certainly felt I had to work harder than I should've for this kind of time, but no harm done!
Nice day apart from the wind and I got to meet several forumites, which was a bonus!
that's great stuff so soon after FLM. Nice one
;-)
Welcome back Compass Kath.
I can't imagine even thinking about a 10K just yet - most of us are struggling just to jog (horrible word)!
hope you've got a bit of rest scheduled now?!
What- Coal race- this was a good laugh, 3 quarters of a mile on an incline with 20kg of coal, Just like London Marathon the fun part is finishing and being able to drop the stuff. Was 5th out of.....6. I will do it again though as it is a great event. Derek was 6th in the mens race- same course but 40kg of coal. There was a lot of tv cameras there and got interviewed by Dutch tv so might be on Eurotrash or something.
Why- that's what the interviewer asked- couldn't think of a good answer then.
I can't think of any races, unless you what to run track for our ladies in Canterbury saturday?
If I hear of anything I'll let you know!
2 mile walk to get there
ikm slow warmup
then hill intervals 5-7% 400m with walk recoveries x8
Then 200m at 11kph with 100 m walks x4
Then 400m gemtle swim
Then i mile walk, and however far i covered in clothes shops!
walks were hilly, all good training for the potteries
We always used to watch Eurotrash, do they still have the lady with the planetarium-sized chest?
Major breakthrough at home - midiLL has tidied her room as evidenced by half the household collection of glasses and cereal bowls reappearing in the kitchen after a long absence.
Well done on your sess Hippo, am I the only flm runner who hasn't yet done a hard session??
lolo
off eurotrash is dead:(
Did you know Mr lowcarbAtkins died the other day?
Not sure if he tripped or passed out
Laura - maybe they just left her chest sticking out above ground and used it for parking bikes in ;-)
What: 34 Lengths in the pool (hard) and 45 mins of core/stability work in the gym
Why: Today should have been a rest day!!!

Last Hard: Yesterday

P.S. Well done hilly on race though rather you than me!!!
Jacqueline, don't worry about the weight running is one of the best was to getting ride of it. Take your time, that's the best way.
Two marathons and 3 halves later, minimal weight loss
So I agree booze is out! well just a little
Mind you, it did hurt me to lie down in the bath. Too many bones sticking out!
Would love to be that skinny again! Or maybe not.
