Thanks for your comments. I'm still doing press ups on my knees. Once I get to the end of the challenge I'll try full press ups. At the end of this 2nd week they do an exhaustion test - as many 'good form' press ups as you can manage. The first one I did was only 5.
6.5m recovery this morning, 10m with 6m LT intervals tonight in 1.05, followed by 1m warm down. Catch up tomorrow cos I'm off to bed- know it's ridiculously early, but I'm knackered for some reason- night all
I know how you feel jason, fell asleep not long after corrie started last night, woke at 10, straight to bed and didn't surface until 7am
5M recovery this morning - better half dropped mace jr #2 at the 3M mark and he did the last couple with me which was really nice
Have good weekends all
OH good luck tomorrow. Go faster, then you won't freeze
Stuart good swim and bike session
HM keep up the good work - I normally flake at about week 4
Mace - ignoring the last mile uphill, the drift looks like it's well under control. Enjoy the Lydd half tomorrow
jason nice double - hope you feel better/rested today
---
Having cancelled the long run Thursday I had to get it in today - so 2 laps of a 7m hilly course then 6m with the club. Another 20 miler bagged
. Will take it easy in tomorrow's club race.
NN Well done with your run yesterday
looks like your on your way back
.
Teknik hot yoga with sweaty women
and great running well done on the 20 banked.
OH Good luck if the weather stays the same you will be fine looking forward to the race report.
SM6 well done with the swimming and bike work yesterday.
Mace well done on the 15 mile run nice stats for Teknik to look at
Jason well done on a great double yesterday hope you slept well.
Well yesterday was a swim 1 mile (64x25m) front crawl and 4 miles easy/recovery, this morning just over 2 miles warm up then the Park run followed by a cool down. The Parkrun went ok a little on the windy side and sliped twice and nearly fell over during the second mile but very happy with 3rd and 1st in age group and only 2 seconds outside my PB Not bad to finish off another 80 mile week
.
Tek- nice 20 again
Mace- nice run too
NP- nice swimming/ swimming/ sliding
I ran our last but one trial parkrun today before it goes live in 2 weeks time. Ran tempo effort for 20.08 which I was happy enough with after yesterday's tempo track sesion and also as it is an undulating trail run Back for more later, before 24 tomorrow
Mace, good luck tommorow, not that you'll need it
Tek, Another good 20 in the bank well done
NP, awesome mileage for the week and some good running and swimming over the last couple of days, might have been a PB if it wasn't for the slip
Jason, Good double yesterday and parkrun today, good luck with the 24 tomorrow
OH, sevendaughters, good luck tomorrow and I hope it warms up a little
Normally I do my long runs on a Sunday, but as the cricket season is almost upon us indoor training starts tomorrow, so I had to move the LSR.
A hilly 20 miles with a mixture of forest trails and road, with the last mile and a half up hill, I believe most could have walked up the hill quicker, but I did it and beat the stop daemon on my shoulder
edit: link for run http://connect.garmin.com/activity/282078850
Jason good this morning hope the run later goes,well
Mace nice recovery work
NP well done on the park run
20 miles this morning, not bad conditions for a change
2.53.54 - 9.00 8.32 8.40 8.37 8.45 8.50 8.21 9.11 8.07 9.05 9.01 8.46 8.52 9.00 8.53 8.49 8.54 8.43 8.29 7.58 at av 8.44
Fairly happy with that 5 weeks out
MG1 nice 20, nice even pace and Teknik well done and hope the club race goes well tomorrow. Stewart also good to get the 20 bagged, well done not stopping on the hill.
jason nice trial parkrun and NP great parkrun result and another strong week of training!
mace know the feeling, I was pretty exhausted after being away and bailed on the planned 20 today. Did 8 easy and hope to be back to normal tomorrow.
HM4 well done on all of the press ups you are doing.
NN good to see you back!
AGF have fun in London. Looking forward to being there in 6 weeks.
Stuart that's lots of swimming and good cross training!
OH good luck! A freezing wind here, hope it's better at Loch Katrine.
Did get out on Thursday night for a fast run offroad, felt a lot faster than the 7:36mm the Garmin said but only had an hour and fifteen minutes between the end of the conference and start of dinner (started with a photo so had to look half decent!!)
F
MG/Stewart/Tek - Nice long runs, hope the weather is a bit less wild where you guys are. I'm hoping the wind dies down for my LSR tomorrow or Monday.
NP - Well done on the parkrun
Jason - Nice tempo, good luck for the 24 tomorrow.
Mace - Thats a nice 15, good pace and HR.
--------------
Had planned for 10ish+gym today, hangover has decided otherwise
I'll get out later on as I do need to run today, probably 6 miles. Might even go for a swim about 9.
Good luck for everyone racing tomorrow.
MG1- Well done on the 20
Stewart- You too! Another 20 in the bag for the thread
Sounds like a toughie too!
SM6- Hope the hangover has faded now
Second run of the day done and dusted, kept it nice and easy with one eye on tomorrow's 24
10.01m in 1.13.46 (7.22 av)
Nice run Jason.
Hangover has gone and I managed to get out the door for 6.14 miles @ 8.38. Faster than I planned to run but still felt very easy. Probably should have just done 10.
LSR&MLR over the next 2 days, probably MLR tomorrow but I'll see how I feel.
SC well done with the long run and another 20 in the bank, nice to beat the daemons
MG1 another 20 in the bank for you and only a couple of weeks away from the start of your taper with everything looking good.
Fiona well done with the running, hope your long run goes ok today, do we get to see the photo of you half decent?
Hm4 you running this weekend?
Well breakfast done waiting for it to settle back to winter here with snow
Mace /sevendaughter and OH very best of luck for you all today. Looking forward to seeing the results later.
Enjoy long runs everyone..and Jason is 24 your longest ? and how any do you do ?
MG1 lovely 20 miler in the bank nearly taper time for you then do you do your last one 3 weeks out ?
Tek and StuartC you too, nice to get another 20 in the bank
Fiona I bet you looked great in your pic all glowing a refreshed from that super run, just goes to show there is no excuse, always time to get a run done.
NP wel done again for the brilliant race and overall position.
SM6 I darent even risk a hangover these days I would have to take a week off....nice run at least you weren't sick, which I a sure I would have been .
I had a fairly late night out with the girls, ..but have decided to get the long run done today (even though I have to go work this afternoon) as having seen the forecast today is just about the lesser of 2 evils schedule says 17 so will see how it goes and may do 20
Best of luck to the racers- hope the weather's kind- it's blowing a gale and freezing cold here. Not looking forward to my run at all- lol!
A freezing day. Decided against the long run today and did 10 miles, made it a hilly part offroad one. Feeling a lot better but just got the feeling that further would do more harm than good. Pleased that I went out despite the biting wind etc
I don't think that photo will see the light of day!!
The photographer was telling me I looked too small and was there any way I could look bigger which caused great hilarity.
I hope all the long runs/races go well today.
