Why: Steady run - 12 stage tomorrow. I tend to race better if I don't take the day off, particularly as I'm on a short stage. I know I'm reasonably fit (hope to clock about 15:30) so today's run is just about keeping the legs ticking over.
Last hard: 12 x 400 (avg 63s) on Tuesday
Last rest: Saturday before last
What:Race Night -5K
Why:Speed work
Last Hard:6miler quick (4 me) last night
Have Fun
What: no running, working on dissertation, and attempting to finish reading Fellowship of the Ring today
Why: have a very sore throat which is turning into a cold :-(
Last hard: FLM - I've run since then, but nothing that I would call "hard"
We just qualified from the Northern Section (23rd out of 25 qualifiers) and 3 of our best runners are now unavailable so we'll get soundly beaten. Howver we intend to go and enjoy the day.
What: steady 5 miles
Hppy Birthday Linca.
Happy birthday Linca

Why: Cos the bluebells are out & i'm in St Evenage for a course this afternoon.
Last hard: Tuesday, 5 x 1 mile reps.
Last Easy: Saturday.

Yesterday I was a a bit naughty. Went to the gym and started with a 15 minute (3,700 metre) concept 2 row, then 30 minutes of weights but finished off with a ........15 minute run (3k) ........deh dehhhh! Couldn't resist - may pay the price today - lets see.
Today: Probably one hour mountain bike.
Why: That seems to be my Friday groove plus looks like rain tomorrow.
Last rest: Last week.

Back off to Munich on Sunday so may disappear again for a few days.
Why: did 4k in 30 mins 5/2 run walked with 2 mins walk at start.
Tommorrow 30mins of 8/2 run walking
Why; Schedule says so and I'm currently aiming to run 30mins continuously.
Yesterday I did my second ever club run. It was really hard 'cos I'm not used to speed work, but the people were really welcoming. I'll definitely go again.
Today: I'm feeling very virtuous cos ...
What: Brick 15 Mile bike followed by 20 min run. Already done it.
Why: So that I don't have to train at all this evening.
Last rest: Sunday - wow that seems a long time ago
Last hard: yesterday, club swim and club run.
I'm off the Prague for the weekend. Just another 7 1/2 hours work, then I'm off.

Happy Birthday Linca.
what - shortish (30 minutes to an hour) steadyish bike ride.
why - supposed to be a rest day having done 2 hour run last night, but have entered a duathlon in a couple of weeks. Racing a 10 mile in Ranby on Sunday so don't want to hammer the bike because I'm not used to it and my legs feel it for a couple of days if I do. Is that clear or should I go through it again for those at the back?
oh and happy birthday Linca, did anyone get you a cake?
Hope you enjoy Weymouth tiny tia, never know I could be passing you without realising it!
What:15 mile bike ride followed by a 5 mile run(Brick session)
Why:Those are the distances to do in the fast twitch tri, so thought I'd best do some training towards it.
Last hard:Tuesday
Last rest:Wednesday and yesterday from running, but swam and biked yesterday.
:-)
What...rest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and running club AGM-deep joy)
Why..because I've done 6 days on the bounce now.
Last hard..yesterday (18 miles)
Last easy..tuesday
Last rest..last Friday!!
What : 6 miles easy
Why : Still easing back into running, yesterday was quite tough because I've had a long lay off
Last Hard : FLM
Last rest : Wednesday
Have a good one all, and best of luck if you're racing this weekend!
Chimp sounds like you're really working on the marathon training. I'm going to do abingdon in october - gives me a clear 5months of training.
What: 4-5 miles easy + 20mins cyclecross train + a few weights and stretching + 30mins swim
Why: Making the most of my free gym pass
Last Rest Day: yesterday
Last Hard Day: FLM
What: 4 miles easy, but last mile quicker if I feel good.
Why: Slight re-jigging of my plan - this was Wednesday's session but I was pushed for time and did Thursday's short run on Wednesday, and did tonight's rest night last night (legs sore and heavy from 3 days in a row running).
This is getting complicated!
My plan says 3 miles at marathon pace on Saturday, and 5 miles at 1 min/mile below marathon pace on Sunday.
Happy Birthday Linca.
What: 6 Miles Hill Training
Why: Need to build up the strength
Last rest: Wednesday
Last hard: Tuesday Speed session

I am starting to get race withdrawl symptons, looking forward to racing again next weekend.
Have fun all!!
Good luck to everyone racing this weekend!
Happy birthday Linca!
what: 12k
Have a great day!
Nothing today, nor tomorrow either. May possibly as a last minute decision run the half at Stratford (Shakespeare) on Sunday if there are spaces left, as we will be in the area anyway.
Hope knee gets sorted Fergy. Sympathy. Hate that feeling, hobling about and unable to do anything to burn off the frustration. Don't know much about knees, so can't help.
In fact, we've got to shout a little louder than the others even, to make sure we're heard from the back.
Keep us posted. Yes, here.
Anyway, easy 45mins to ease myself into a beery day.....
What: Rest.
Why: Long one inked in for tomorrow if I can beat this cold-y thing (actually, maybe it's an allergy?). And did lots yesterday.
Hard: Monday race.
Rest: Tuesday.
Happy birthdays Linca & Ginger, and happy Friday everyone else.
today...
What: Have 'promised' myself that I'll 'try' to go to the gym today unless Mum pays the flying visit she's been promising all week.
Why: Am away at the weekend until next Friday. Mr says it's a surprise so don't even know whether one of the hotels we're staying at or whatnot has a pool or gym or what..? Hhhmm. Might be reliant upon us exerting ourselves walking and sight seeing.
Last Hard: Wednesday (had sinusitis/cold and felt like death warmed up).
Last Rest: Yesterday. Should really have 2 rest days following Wednesday but won't get a chance to gym it until next weekend otherwise so will take it easy. Not done any swimming this week either 'cause of the abundance of children at the pool
wet here - has it set in for the day?
happy birthday Linca
don't you just hate it when someone does something straightforwardly in training that happens to be one of your (currently less likely looking) race targets for the year - 5 miles in 30 mins? Maybe Hippo had a point....
what: let's try the old standard of 4 x 1 mile off 1/3rd mile jog recoveries
why: to see if I'm making any progress. All miles under 6:00 with a couple under 5:55 would be nice....
last hard/hardish days: Mon, Tue, Wed (yes I'm "spiking")
last rest day: Thu
