As for me I'm being so lazy 'cause I'm tapering and so I'm just going for a short cycle tonight and no running for the second day. Mind I'm feeling a bit jittery as my brain is saying go for a run!
what: easy 6M.
Happy running!
What: am 5 mile steady, pm 9 mile
why: building mileage
Have a good day everybody
What: 9 mile jog done, weights at lunchtime and another jog tonight.
Why: weight loss and aerobic base building
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: 19 days
Have a good one.
Have a good weekend, folks, and good luck if you are racing.
... feeling particularly guilty cos work and other commitments meant that yesterday's run didn't happen. Seem to be sliding into unfitness and injury at an alarming rate. Must try and maintain and build on the summer's marathon and triathlon fitness, but where is it going?
So today
What: A run. About 8 miles. Please. And lots of speedwork at the weekend
Why: 10k pb wanted in late October. However, my 10k pb was set in about '94 and I have no idea what it is. Think it's 43-something but I may be deluding myself.
last hard: Tuesday.
Last rest: yesterday - teeny bike ride doesn't count!
Good luck with all your rests, races and long runs
Xerxes - wot no pea-green boat, owls or pussy-cats?
LizzyB - you're getting paranoid about losing fitness. After what you've done this year I reckon you've got bags of reserve in the bank and I can't belieev you're talking 43 something as a pb. 33 something would seem more likely ;-)
Hilly, resist the urge to run, I'm told part of the tapering is to induce exactly that urge as the glycogen reserves and endorphins etc battle it out for attention, you need to channel both into Mday.
What : 5m steady
why : more basebuilding , but getting disillusioned about it, last night was slowest time highest avg HR combo yet after 2 weeks!
last hard day: Tues
last rest day : weds
need to decide whether to race cat C 10k race on Sunday or go sailing or both
What: 5K along the canal at lunchtime and possibly gym (just weights) this evening.
why: that's what the schedule says and it's a nice day for it in London
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: yesterday
Enjoy!
What: 4miles, slow for the first half, sort of dream 10K pace for much of the second half, then about 300m fast, then try to get home without disgracing myself(runners trots). Nice to be back on home ground, and to discover that I can still run reasonably comfortably in spite of jet-lag and the disruption of travel.
I'll look on Events as well, but anyone doing Nottingham on Sunday know of cheap accommodation for penniless student Sunday night and Saturday night if poss. Eldest son is doing the half, his plans for the weekend have changed a bit, and none of us are happy about him running a half and then setting off on his own for a long drive south. Setting off for a long drive then running a half is not ideal either, but less irresponsible. Do e-mail if you have suggestions

I don't know whether they do just one night: my husband had to live their for a few weeks when he took a job up there before our house was ready, but it's worth phoning and finding out.
That's probably your best bet, other than that there are B&Bs around. I'm sure the Uni lets out student accommodation but it's nearly freshers' week so it's unlikely that they'd be letting it out now.
Hope that helps a bit.
What: Rest day for me today - travelling to Wales after work tonight.
Why: Have run three consecutive evenings this week, and am experiencing a lot of pain around the arch of my left foot. Thing I may have strained something during Nike 10K last Sunday. It's worse when my feet are fully extended (i.e. flat); OK at work while I'm wearing heels. It feels kind of bruised and tender. Can't be plantar fasciitis as it's in the wrong place. Hopefully nothing serious but last night made me run very awkwardly on the outside of my foot which really made my ankle ache.
Last hard: Tempo run Wednesday.
Last rest: Monday.
Have a good weekend.
Plan for long one still on. Looks like a late one in the dark - will strap on as much reflective gear as I can lay my hands on. Running Christmas tree type thing. Sticking to my 5.5 mile loop (I have 5 splits per loop so I can crank out lots of pace/HR data), aiming to do four of them at a veeeery sloooooww plod.
Enjoy.
why: scheduled (except the swim which was scheduled for yesterday but i got up late)
last rest: a while ago now but its all tri cross training and a change is as good as a rest!
last hard: wednesday
winter is coming - enjoy your warmish dry runs while you can folks!
What: 8.3m in the dark this morning
Why: last week of high mileage before taper
Felt ok apart from a dull ache from outside of left knee. Looks like ITB problems are rearing their head again.
Cheers
Active rest day today before killer hill session tomorrow.
What: weights
Why: see above!
Last (vaguely) hard: last night
Last easy: wednesday
Well, this is it for the recovery week. Three weeks of hard training lie ahead, followed by a week of tapering, then the Great Cumbrian 1/2.
Gazzmeister - effects of high mileage maybe? Hope it eases up during your taper.
Have a good day everyone.
What: 9 Miles Steady (70 Minutes ish)
Why: Schedule Says so, need the milage
Last Rest: A whole week ago, last friday
Last Hard: Tuesdays Speed Session
Last Long: Sunday 31st August
Aiming for a weekend of heavy training, but will have to wait and see what life throws my way this weekend. Saturday aiming for 5 Miles AM 5 Miles PM, Sunday aiming for 20 Miles Slow.
Have fun and a great weekend.
LL
What: 4 miles on cross trainer, 12 miles cycling and 20 minutes swimming drills.
Why: Recovering from an injury to my knee yesterday.
Last hard: Yesterday
Last rest: Wednesday
Knee not too bad this morning but still too sore for running. Will probably take a week to recover. This is going to play havoc with my long runs and consequently Dublin marathon training. Just as well that I am doing Dublin as a training run.
What: v slow 21 hilly miles
Why: long run today so I can enjoy the weekend - but got to get some work done now!!
Last hard: today!!
Last easy: Wednesday's 1:10 steady was relatively easy
Hilly, ta for the welcome back yesterday -got sidetracked hence no reply!

Miles makes smiles.
