Thanks for well wishes everyone - have packed all running gear and HRM so no shirking while I'm away
See you in a week chaps
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering .... did get to gym today but only did minimal workout - have expended enough energy running around packing...
Oh and finally, Onc was not only pleased at my progress but well and truly shocked I would say ... he was visibly amazed to see a) I'd lost weight and to hear that b) I was back at work full-time and going to the gym every day!
See you next week!
Enjoy your long run Steady.
What: 1 hr off road at 6.30 am up steep hill, along bridleway and around the park, flushing out all the rabbits and pheasants as I did so.
Why: shamed into getting out by all you early birds! It was well worth it, cheers.
Last hard: Wed
Last rest: yesterday.
Have a good day all.
why: did very little training this summer slowly getting back into it
next hard: tomorrow 11k (if I can drag myself out off bed ontime)
Have a nice holiday Cath, amazing achievements, you definitely deserve a holiday.
Good luck on your 16 miles Steady
I'd have loved an early run this morning but I started work at 6, and I'm not that keen dedicated!!
Yesterdays easy 6 followed by efforts turned into something totally different so:-
what: rest or 30 mins easy
why: I'm knackered
last hard: yesterday - easy 6 and then 4 miles very hard (sub 10K pace)
last rest: Friday
Have a good weekend everyone.
Enjoy the rain Steady, started here in London too.
Early one for you Laura!!
Had changed plans today, should be hill reps but working saturday night so my sunday will be spent in bed so long run was now planned today of 15 miles, but niggle in right knee as like begining of year has semed to come back so cut it short to only 10 miles.
What: 10 miles
Why: See above
Last Hard: Weds
Last Rest: Saturday
Enjoy the rain if its coming your way!!!
What: 9 miles jog done, weights at lunchtime then a short jog tonight
Why: 'Weight loss' and aerobic base building
Been very bad this week with junk food, so don't expect to have lost much weight. Will get a bit more disciplined from tomorrow.
Beer and curry night tonight!!!
Why: rest before tomorrow's longer run
Its very wet outside is summer finally over?
What: crazy 10k 2 nights ago
Why: Wanted to see if i stil had it in me
Meant to go to the gym last night but thanks to the power cut over south London was forced to relax.
I think it might well be Gemini, but i do my pb's when its raining.... Strange?
Laura-sounds like a lovely run and very early!
Enjoy your 16 miles Steady!
Happy hols Cath and glad things went well with the Onc!
Speedie-hope the knee niggle clears soon!
What:1 mile swim
why:being good and letting my overused lower leg muscles heal before tough off road race on Sunday
Last hard:Tues
Last rest:today from running but from doing no sport last Sat.
what: weights
why: legs need rest from last night's hills
last hard: yesterday
last easy: wednesday
Last night's hills felt good, cheered on by local kids. They thought we were mad as we sprinted down their road about 8 times during the session. Come to think of it, maybe they had a point.
Happy running.
Im doing the Reebok 10k in Nov. Is it as flat as they say it is? I take its simply along the sea front drive and back...?
Still raining in Wimbledon
Why/last hard - Last night with club, went out with a group of faster runners for a run around town with a few efforts -turned into one long 54min effort just to keep them in sight. Someone reckoned between 7 and 8 miles - if so just broke my 10k PB!, ave HR 168. Felt good for it afterward though
Last rest - Wed
What an absolute disaster in getting home from work last night, what should have taken 30 minutes ended up taking 3 hours, so wasn't able to get my training session in yesterday!! So Today was supposed to be a rest day, but I am going to try and do yesterday's session today!!
What: 7 Miles
Why: Wasn't able to do it yesterday!
Last rest: Forced Yesterday
Last Hard: Tuesday I think.
Good luck all with the weekend whether just training or racing!
Brewster - the Brighton 10k is not absolutely flat, there must be a good 10 feet to climb past the pier. yes it's out and back along the sea front.
What - nothing, hamstring is definitely not right, so feeling fed up (3 hours stranded on a train last night didn't help)
Hope everyone else has a better day.
had planned to run outside to gym last night but due to torrent falling I drove there and used tmill instead (wimp) before hsort weights session. Now having confidence in achilles I'm upping the distance and am going to follow a low intensity pattern for about a month to try to raise lactate threshold. Seems as good a time as any since I want to avoid hills and too much speedwork whilst the achilles strengthens. hopefully it will allow other joints to strengthen too and catch up with cv system
So I "easy ran" 5mile/50 mins aiming to stay just under 70% WHR - edged up to target over first 15mins and reached 10km/h - was able to hold this for a further 15 mins before I had to drop the pace gradually, finishing on 8.8km/h to hold HR. all seems very slow compared with the w/e "easy" race at 12.5km/h.
Aim to repeat today though may try to increase time to 1 hr.
Enjoy Budapest LynneW and Italy Cath - seriosuly impressive dedication there.
Brewster - Brighton 10k is dead flat with just 2 U-turns to throw your stride.
And of course that sea air!
gym tonight as its always nice and quiet on a friday
Session with physio - the usual probing with fingers and thumbs - calf still tender but he didn't make me wince as he did last Saturday. No evidence of any muscle tear - so can continue easy running (no hills or speed work though) with some more intensive stretches to do. Will rest today (open air concert this evening at Hever Castle) and try an easy run tomorrow - maybe a duration run on Sunday.
Good luck to any one racing at the weekend and speedy recoveries to all with aches pains and niggles etc. Go carefully out there.
What: resting
Why: felt very tired on waking and need to be rested for long run tomorrow.
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: Sunday
If the rain goes away I might do an hours easy cycling or failing that some swimming drills at the gym.
busy morning at work so quite late in writing
What: 6miles am done 10 miles pm steady
why: mileage building
have a good day
Brewster, I will be doing the Reebok 10k as well.
what: it should have been hills but the legs feel tired. So, it will be 1 hour on the tready (maybe with some hills thrown in)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Well, feeling refreshed but a little guilty after my day off yesterday!!
Treadmill for 45mins and a swim tonight to ease shins back in, then a 10miler tomorrow.
Only a week to go before my first half marathon. Confidence crisis is here already.
Just back from a 19 mile run at a slow pace it was great really enjoyed it.I can't believe I did it!!!
Happy Running everyone
Miles makes smiles.

Well done Welsh Poppy, 19 miles is triffic. Ive only got as far as 16 so far, but im going to attempt 18 on Sunday.

Last rest: Monday (bank holiday seems so far away already)
