What: Short stage (leg 12) of the National 12 Stage Road relay, running for AFD. I'm hoping to run close to 15:30 but will be happy as long as its under 16 minutes.

what: 6 mile steady run
why: warm up for tomorrows longer one
last hard: Wednesday
last rest: yesterday
Have a good one y'all
What: Long leg of the National 12 Stage Relay (5.38 miles). Will be OK with around 31 minutes at the moment.
Why: because we qualified and it should be a good experience.
Last hard: 5 mile race Weds
Last rest: last Sat.
Good luck to all racers this weekend.
Will attempt to go to the gym today, though I don't really feel like it. If the weather gets better, I'll get my Nas song on my CD player, 'I know I can' and plod my way as far as my body is willing to take me.
What - 3 mile run in a few minutes (that is I am leaving soon rather than setting a new world record), then going down Mercian's with a mate to get a replacement for the short cage mechanism thingy and a new freewheel for my aging bike - it'll be nice to have a gear lower than 42/18 for the first time in 2 years. Then steady bike ride.
Why - 10 mile race tomorrow but need to get out on bike too. Probably not the best preparation but there you go.
Why: need to run - munchkins mean it's a case of go when I can!!
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Thurs
Sarcs - how long is your long going to be - are you back on training schedule again?
Why:It's Saturday and that normally means town day for those of us who work all week. Although I have been off for a fortnight!
Last hard:Tuesday
Last long session:yesterday's brick session
Last rest:Wed
Also, good luck to anyone else racing today!
What: 2hr long run.
Why: because it's dry at the moment & is supposed to rain tomorrow & pre marathon preperation training.
Last hard: Thur
Last rest: 9 days ago
Gardening this afternoon if it's still dry!
looks like it'll be sunshine & showers here today
good luck to the 12 stagers (Barnsley, MikeB & anyone else)
yesterday's "performance" doesn't seem to have heralded the onset of SARS or any other bug - but I did wonder
what: Caldy 2nd XI v Fleetwood Hesketh 2nd XI (A) no doubt dodging the showers
why: it's matchday - anyway, last night indicated a rest of some kind was needed
last hard day: suppose Fri
last rest day: suppose Thu
Chimp mainly be chillin' today.
Last hard Thursday
Last rest yesterday.
Race tomorrow (Rothwell 10k)
rest today.
good luck to all racing this weekend. Happy training to those who aren't.
What: Long one. Ideally 15 miles. Been sniffly & sinus-y, so may go half a mile and turn round!
Why: Weekend!
Hard: Monday race.
Rest: Yesterday.
Good luck, everyone.
For me yesterday turned out not as expected. Had to stay in work until past 9:00 as I was told there would be a conference call that I had to be on (and I needed access to my work server at the same time so couldn't go home). Then the call was cancelled at the last minute....which was nice! So got home at 9:45 expecting a rest day but MrsH was watching telly so nipped on the turbo trainer for 30 minutes - result.
Today:
15 minutes elliptical cross trainer
30 minutes weights
4k run (in 19:30)
Already done
Why: Second run this week as knee was feeling OK. I could be running the risk of trying to come back too soon as I did a few weeks ago but as I now have my orthotics am letting pain be my guide. Plus it feels soooooooo good to go for a run.
Last hard: Todays 4k was actually a lot harder than I expected - will take some time to get my running legs back.
Last rest: ????
I will definitely, definitely not run tomorrow and possibly not for two days - I'm desperate to get back but must be patient.
What: 30 miles easy cycling
Why: Schedule says so
Last hard: Yesterday's spinning
Last rest: Mon 14th.
Have not rested for two weeks as trying to lose weight so need the exercise each day. Will rest this week though as I am beginning to feel it.
What: Flexing my fingers on the keyboard. Then travelling south.
Why: Trailwalker training session with Nick, Helen, Pixie and RD tomorrow. Longer term, I think I might drop my training back to baseline for a couple of months, tell the family to slit my throat if I mention the words "autumn" and "marathon" in the same sentence, and get on top of my backlog of writing.
Last hard day: Monday.
Next hard day: Tomorrow.
Last rest: Today is the fifth day in a row of relative idleness and I feel SO much better for it.
What: Gym : Resistance workout
Why: That what saturdays are for
Last Hard: Weds
Last Rets: Thurs
Have a good weekend
It rained almost as I got out the door! Still I ran the same out & back route as last weekend. In the first hour I ran futher than last week & came back in almost excactley the same time!
So I'm happy but tired.
A good atmosphere there with some top runners taking part (Ian Hudspith, Paul Evans, Hayley Yelling etc).
We finished about 65th I think - will look up the results on www.race-results.net later. I did not change position in my leg but I reckon was about 60 secs down than if I had been firing on all cylinders.
Still, made up part of the team and did not any damage.
Might need to see the GP for some antibiotics to blast away this throat infection.
Thought I post before hitting the sack.
What: 8 miles Hill training.
Why: Strengthing the legs and schedule ssya so.
Last rest: Wednesday
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Long: FLM
Haven't been on line for a while due to holidays. Haven't run either!
BR, that bug seems to have lingered for a while. Better get it sorted otherwise it could ruin the rest of your season. You probably lost more than 60 secs today because of it ( I reckon 90 secs is closer to the mark for a man of your calibre) I know you don't like taking time off running but.....
I just wonder if I've done the right thing. Longest ever break. Apart for 2x 4 milers last week I've done nothing since FLM. Find out tomorrow when I venture out.
