Madbee - I think it is fine to go to the doctor if you are more tired than you would normally expect to be.
DT - any progress on getting the hip flexor/groin issue sorted?
Madbee - thanks. I was looking at some routes in Kathmandu yesterday as it happens. Most take to the roads very early (around 5am) before the traffic gets bad. There are some great trail routes once you get out of the city though.
I'm still very guilty of running my easy runs too fast and I need to sort that out. I also don't want to get too bogged down with times and stuff but I have to be more strict with myself. Today I think I'll tackle a short 4mi progression down into the 10k pace range. Something like 8:15, 7:45, 7:7:15 and then 6:30. Not sure yet. I'll have a biscuit and mull it over whilst pretending to do some work.
I've also ordered an online blood test from medichecks.com. They send you a pack, you get a blood sample together and then send it back. Your results then appear 3 days later online. I know that feeling of thinking that something isn't quite right and so I went ahead and ordered the 'Advanced Fit' test. I'll update for those that are interested in due course.
Just practised what I'm preaching and did an easy run. It was nice.
Skinny, hopefully over the coming weeks what he has shown you can have you quoting again.. running in the rain, massive blister on toe but enjoying it, fingers crossed. What about the calf socks are you wearing them too.
7mls tonight in the sun by the looks of it here, still cant seem to get my head round training sessions bottled out on Monday and just did 9mls, racking up on average 33mls a week but no quality sessions.
Skinny, that sounds about as bonkers as I thought it would be.
Re the table update, as my 10k is faster, don't I come ahead of Bob?
Madbee, I remember the days well of very young children. It is very tiring what with working and training hard. I just took it as it was what it was for a few years.
David, I have some physio tomorrow night which will hopefully resolve the matter or at least begin the process. am not sure I could inject myself to take the blood needed!
Kevin, I wouldn't stress too much about sessions. Obviously they need to happen sometimes but most gains will come from running consistently. Easiest place to get them done is a parkrun or club night.
I did an easy 5m progressive run last night starting at 8.30 then edging down to finish at low 7s. Legs felt good and it was nice to open out the legs outside a session. Decent session planned straight after work of 10 x 1km off 1 minute.
Skinny - thanks for the table update.
4mile progression for me just now. I have confused myself with these sessions of late and not sure whether to class something like that as a hard session or not. It felt hard at the end but that's to be expected.
Speedway is on Po10 now - for some reason it didn't associate to my account so I've claimed it now and it's showing up. 85.68% age graded on there, using 48 as age. I'd better get another fast 10k in now I'm 49 !
I have a session planned for this week which is 3 x(3mins,2mins,1mins) going through the paces progressively on each time interval. So your 4m progression is like a warm up plus about half of what is in my session.
Beast of a session earlier, 10 x 1k off 1 min at 10k pace. Shattered now.
And DT that is quite a good idea re sub 38 gets you in gold league - good luck!
Skinny, so are we basically saying no removal from gold tier? You get a sub 38 and you're in there for good? I just liked all the silver cells i have.
Thanks Skinny
LT session on the plan for today. Going to just get out and see how I feel at lunchtime, it may get binned in favour of an MLR or something.
DT quality session, thought I was reading 10x1min hope you rested up
Madbee did you do the LT Session
7mls last night, quiet enjoyable but very sweaty
I'm sure she did and was just tricking herself into going out for it as discussed above!!
I was surprised by the warmth/humidity last night. I guess even a crappy summers day is still 10c on the winter temps.
just over 5m recovery run lunchtime. Massage later on.
Got a very messy day tomorrow at a sportsmans lunch with work which entails an 11.30am start. Fortunately it's at my local rugby club so I have circuits booked for 9.30. Randomly they have Bobby Davro and Sam Warburton speaking!
Attached updated for reintroduction of Madbee which takes silver cell off David for age and Pete for weight and makes McFlooze's diet to get the silver cell look a whole lot harder.
At the moment I've gone with DT's suggestion to set a goal of a sub 38 10k to be in gold league but I'm mulling this over and might change my mind.
Apologies Skinny, I slipped in above that I turned 49 on Tuesday without explicitly mentioning a table update was required.
You did
