I've worked out that my best way to maximise my training in the time slots I have available is to get out early and do 8 miles or so every day - I wanted to re-read Hadd to remind myself why this is a good thing!
I've still been running although I've tried to limit it a bit whilst I've got Achilles Tendinitis - yet again - although I realised on Thursday that the slower I run the worse it hurts but then if I try to run faster then I just can't breathe and keep going.....problem really.
882 miles
Susie-take care of that tendon
are you having any treatment for it
well done on the streak hipps..
d
19 miles
(I rested on Saturday)
Sorry I missed you at Wolverhampton Hipps.
Hope the tendon sorts itself Susie
Still no luck DF? (I've not been on the daily training thread for a while)
45 miles
Struggling the last 10 days with a running nose, so kept the mielage lower and a very close eye on the heart rate monitor.
DF, sorry to hear that you are no better. What is next for you? Can the docs do anything to help?
more physio Thurs then Sat and appointment with consultant at the start of November...
Hope you are all doing well

I did a 10K last Sunday in 1.15.44 which is an awful time, my excuse is that there was a howling gale and this was a coastal run - the first 5K was fine but at the turn round we then had the wind against us and I found it really tough going, hard to breath and at times you felt like you were going backwards not forwards.
Hippo - you shouldn't worry about being a 'slow' runner - I'm much slower than you but at least we do these things.
I've another 10K coming up then the Great North Run the following week - I'm nowhere near ready, never will be but at least I know that in reading Hippo's race reports that I can get round one way or another (is that not a song by Blondie!)
my daily running and weekly marathons meant a pb yesterday
patience pays off
((((((((((((((squuuueeeeeeeeeeeeeeze)))))))))
I've just completed another Great North Run and am not planning on doing another one - too far to travel, too many people and I always feel under pressure all summer so now my goal is to get faster on some 10K's - in fact a more immediate goal is to keep running without putting in any walking breaks!
Hello to all basers!
I see from my Runner's World magazine that Windsurfin' Susie is quoted as a great advocate of base training!!!
i think i will do a hadd test this week
ive been listening to my body-and i spose my mileafge is up compared to last year-and-i am pbing
Have a slight injury caused by ditching my BT training and trying all that tough fast training stuff - I want a marathon PB but only have a short time to prepare for that PB attempt. It was a calculated risk. I'm looking forward to a good winter's base training.
David, so sorry to hear about your knee - what's the latest news?
Hipps...let us know how your next Hadd compares....
d
I never did a hadd test in the end
do you think weekly marathons sort of count as race base training?
is there such a thing?
David-bloody hell, i do hope they can sort you
not to be able to walk just isnt right
DF - sorry to hear about the protracted woes. Still glad to see you are keeping the base fitness there though.
Susie - keep bashing in the miles and it will pay off!
Hipps - You are amazing and yes I think weekly marathons must count! What's your average HR % for the last few Maras?
Well I'm doing 80% base work for the Mara, but adding a little spice with a mid week speed sesh. I want to continue my annual Mara PB and ideally get from 3:50 to 3:40 which will give me a 'C' start in Comrades.
Have a great day.
no idea
dont wear HRM if racing
but going by trust rpe-the last one was done at 90% for the first half
