Are you still out in Canada Paul? That's bad luck with your cold
It's balls quite frankly. I get back to the UK on the 23rd October.
I am following HHs advice within reason.. not been doing the sessions the last two weeks though as I've felt run-down. Just focusing on getting the miles in at the moment. I'm gonna try a long run later today...but I'll have to just see how it goes.
Slogged out 2 miles yesterday and 6 today... feel like a bag of crap.
I'll be lucky if I make it past 20 miles this week... the cold and jetlag are really taking their toll.
Got out for 4.35 miles yesterday and felt a hell of a lot better.
Probably going to have to hit the treadmill today... the weather here is atrocious. If I can hit 20 miles for the week I'll be happy....
30,30,33,33,34,20,raceweek...
Bit of a mental session this morning on the treadmill (it was raining)
Don't know what came over me.
Warmup - 2 miles @ 7.1mph
8 x 1000m at 10mph (3:45 for each)
warmdown - 0.25 miles at 7.1mph
7.25 miles for the session... feel buggered now.
Very true it's like some sort of tradition..whereas the Great North Run always seems to get away with dry weather and plenty of sunshine!
Bastards! I managed a nice run of 6 weeks at 30+...
See you both there on sunday?
Hopefully so Paul...sounds like you have had good preparation for this! Im going to do one more run tomorrow at an easy pace..probably no more than 5 miles (probably less!). My last hard paced session was on Tuesday and that was a very tough 5 miles. I am fairly pleased with my preparation leading up to the race...my training has picked up over the last 3/4 weeks. Furthermore, the weather may not be as bad as what I initially thought the other day from looking at the charts. I hope it's not windy more than anything! As for being around after the race, I'll have to dash as I didn't realise that I had a hockey game early in the afternoon in Winchester but maybe I will bump into you guys there! Sunday is going to be a crazy day! Looks like I might be doing the Lordshill 10 the weekend after this one now as well.
The wind'll be a killer on the closing mile... all else doesn't matter. Rain won't effect your times on this course.
I'm still really not sure about the Lordshill 10. Might give it a go.
Yeah the wind is pretty much guaranteed this time of year at Southsea. I'd be pretty surprised if it was calm thats for sure.
Looking at the elite athletes list on the great run website, there appears to be good number of them entered this year, because of it being the 10mile champs. Should make for quick times throughout the field (at least I hope!). Hopefully Mo Farah can score a British win too!
On another note, seems about time for a new thread maybe once the GSR is out of the way?
Good luck for tomorrow guys. Training this week following my very tough 5 miles on Tuesday has been 4 easy miles on Thursday night on the treadmill and 3 easy miles around my local area last night. The target for me is a PB so anything under 1.10"33 will be good...but realistically would love to get about 1.07 or 1.08. Definately agree that the thread may be at an end though, I mean what did happen to Twixx and his Audi 10k in the end as well?
Who here is training for the Stubbington 10k then???
Good luck everyone running today. It's a beautiful sunny morning down here on the South Coast, so let's make it a good one.
I'm gunning for 67:30 or faster.. so anyone on course for that, i'll make sure to give you a wave as I overtake you at the finish
Good running everyone.
I have just spent the last hour reading the first 5 and last 5 pages of this thread.
I entered the tread as someone who wants to run sub 40 for a 10K (PB 40:54 on 4th October).
I leave the tread as someone who has the rest of their day sorted, watching the GSR, prior to the Liverpool game, (with a 10 mile job in between).
I will see you all again on the Stubbington 10k thread.
Good luck to everyone today, hope the weather holds up for you.
