Mike S - We don't have nightfall over here, just dusk at 11.30 and daylight at 1.30 so does that mean I have to keep running all night?
Saw the sun set in the north (yes, and it rises in the north as well!) last night for the first time this year - beautiful sunset. Summer is here ...!
Well done Hilly (as if you didn't do enough already) and all other early runners. I'm excused from early am run as I worked 'til midnight last night. (not that I'd run at 6 anyway)
What: no running, possibly brave outside pool tonight.
Why: found 10K race tomorrow night continuing my quest to run a race on each day of the week.
Last hard: I too felt my hill reps last night, but on the whole feeling a bit more lively this week for the first time since flm.

Hilly (and others) - check this out.
Good luck with the pyramid session.
what: nothing, resting the knee.
Have a good day!
What: Tried to do long slow run (12.5miles) but gave up after about 7 miles. I'm not surprised really, as I had been feeling tired and the last few days on the brink of seizing up. Wind was against me the first 6miles - it tracked me round the course! The last mile was lovely, but I had "lost" my left leg, and the thought of 4+ miles without it - I just lost heart. Wasn't sure the psychological boost of having finished no matter what would have compensated for the almost certain damage done had I continued.
Ok. I'll rest up a bit. Got to go to London tomorrow, rest/sail over the weekend, and then invite you lot to plan my training. See separate thread, and thanks in advance.
Hope that's helpful!
Also, if you're race on Sunday is purely being used for training then I wouldn't hesitate about doing a speed session today or even on Friday morning. Where's your 10k and what are you hoping for?
What: 4/5 miles recovery pace
Why: easy day
Last rest: 8 days ago
Last hard: yesterday
Why: It's in my schedule and last night's 3 miler felt really good!
This consistency business seems to be working!
What: Long-ish. 10-12 miles? Maybe 8.
Why: See if I can fit 30+ miles (including a HM) and two games of cricket into a week.
Hard: Club Tuesday.
Rest: Monday.
Enjoy.
I will going to London on Saturday to seesomeone that specialises in running injuries. Will report back.
good luck and all the best for your Challenge!
Today...
What: still a bit unfocussed. I think an easy 1 hour today, hills tomorrow, and then a speed session over the weekend
Why: I want to get faster - but I am in limbo at pres
Last hard: Yesterday, being barked at by soliders (no, they were very nice really)
I want to train twice a day, every day! I'll have to find a way....
BTW, the government has fled into thin air.
What- ooh about 10/12 miles on the bike something like that, fell into conversation with another cyclist on his way to work which was nice. Then got home and dived out for a quick (except I wasn't) 3 mile run. Massage this afternoon and no allotment.
I seem to have done something to my shoulder I think it was when I was showing off in the gym doing chin-ups the digging yesterday prob. made it worse- seems a bit better this afternoon though.
Well, what can I say. First club run since FLM last night. omigod it was hard! Either everyone else has suddenly speeded up or I have slowed down or I am still feeling the effects of the marathon. Mind you I don't suppose 2 days heavy digging in the garden helped!
Today: nothing! Except weeding which I can do sitting down ( and had to as my back is aching)
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: all last week
Tomorrow trying Pilates for the first time
BR-the government fleeing into thin air wouldn't be a such a loss! Good luck with the 10k!
And you Drew if you do it!
Laura, good luck tomorrow night. Hope you have a good race!
AWWW Spud, hope you have some luck with the specialist and the problem is easily sorted!
Stickless-tomorrow's another day!
Good training everyone.
