Have a good one.
Did a short session at the gym yesterday - felt very tired mainly due to PMT (always get tired) so didn't overdo things.
Managed to run a mile in 10 mins and then gave up doing much more - shins were hurting and cold compress in the shower later really helped. Did 15 mins bike, stepper & elliptical thingy. Much the same today.
What: Gym session
Why: Re-establish routine
Last Hard: If I'm truthful, yesterday wa shard really. Seems my fitness is imitating yoyo's.
Last Rest: Sunday.
Have a nice day all.
Cath, I've often found that it works that way. I think my assessment of a workout is always coloured by my expectations. So when things go well for a while, I assume progress is going to continue. Maybe I am disappointed when it doesn't, maybe I am just the tiniest bit more reckless in my demands, and that is enough to spoil the workout. I don't know. But the experience you describe sounds familiar.
What, 3miles, done. Started very doubtful, with better leg feeling pretty awful. Ran through it, and upped the pace at the end. Definitely not base training here (HR, by the finger on wrist device, in order of 200!). That was after the final fast bit, for Lizzie.
Still on half dose NSAIDs. So it seems possible, although it makes training difficult. If it doesn't get any worse I'll stick out the week at least. Discuss with running friendly GP strategies on Friday.
What: 7 miles at steady pace am , club tonight hill work
why: mileage building and speed work
have a good day everybody
Just found out that one of my slightly faster running clubmates has got into FLM via the ballot. That is one training companion sorted out, but come January I suspect the long runs are going to be done at an interesting pace!
Have a good day.
4 mile reasy run to gym
5 x 800m on treadmill (watched over by handsome fitness instructor)
4 mile easy run home.
Learning to run on tired legs to help with those last few race miles - I'm training for the Stockport 10, and this time it's personal !
What: 7m steady into work. (Able to run on the road over Tower Bridge today, as it's closed to traffic due to a protester up a crane nearby)
Why: Building mileage/BT
Last hard: 28 Sept
Last rest: 9 days
7 day cumulative mileage: 38m
Have a good day.
Long time no post of this thread, lots been going on. Managed to complete Dublin Marathon in under my target time, was aiming for sub 3:45 and ended up with 3:44:21.
Sustained an injury to left knee which has kept me out of training for a week.
Back to it today:
What: 6 Miles easy
Why: See how things are with the knee
Last Hard: Dublin marathon
Last Rest: Loads
Last long: Dublin Marathon
Good luck all.
PS: I am in London next year, how about you?
What: am 5m easy, pm 6m steady
Why: base building
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Friday
Have a good day.
what: hill session. 30 min. warm up, 8x1min. hill, 30 min. cool down
Happy running!
What: Six miles steady through the snowdrifts. Cross country skiing tonight
Why: Another attempt to recover the level of fitness I had in the summer. Will try and reintroduce speedwork next week, as hopefully knee is recovered.
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Thursday
Well, the new turbo trainer is up and running, we've also just got a TV as well (moving pictures - a real novely after a couple of years without!). So put turbo trainer in front of telly and did 30 minutes yesterday in front of BBC News 24. Two questions:
- Does anyone make a remote control holder for a bicyle?
- Why did my hear rate shoot up when George Bush came on the telly?
What: am rest, pm 1 hour hard cycling
Why: Scheduled
Last hard: Yesterday
Last rest: Sunday
LizzyB - the answer to your second question is that you love and want to snog George Bush, even though you may be in denial.
Rest day yesterday completed successfully, and it's club night tonight. I like club night. Club night good.
Enjoy your day.
9m including round-about route to club then about 4m with beginners and run home
Improved 40min section of run last night by about 100m!
Bod
Big Tim - It's the Jesus and Mary Chain, isn't it?
What: probably nothing but may manage a swim later if time permits
Why: swimming is much harder to fit into my daily schedule than running (which is usually done during my lunchtime) and I'm still injured.
Last hard: sunday
Last rest: yesterday
Arms and shoulders really ached yesterday from the swimming lesson on sunday so I must have been doing something right!
Cath, I can't believe you are moaning about PMT after everything you've been through!! It must mean that you are back to normal now!
have not been running for absolutely ages as it has all been go since summer.
Got married, started new job and have noe moved to Belgium with hubbies job.
Relocating is exhausting!
So have now managed to join a gym and am sussing out possible outdoor routes to run.
So now am back to running slowly for 30 mins after really improving in England over the course of the year.
Today did 35 mins on treadmill trying to keep heartrate at a mid point to prevent burn out in 10 secs flat.
Sorry to warble on
tiaxx
What: 7m easy
Why: recovery run & mileage building
Bit pushed for time at the moment but have a good one.
What: 1k swim am; leg-strengthening work lunchtime
Why: Pool was empty! (planned to do circuits) & legwork dull but necessary.
Amused myself watching today's two treadmill techniques: run like heck for 30 secs then jump nimbly off the belt & stand with one foot each side of it grinning smugly while belt still running, jump back on & fall off; grip side bars for dear life while legs & shoulders flapping every which way in attempt to maintain speed with belt .... oh my
Let us know what running in Belgium is like.
What:12k
Why: trying this base building thing
Ran 10k yesterday, so feeling a bit tired today and walked for about 15min. Feel REALLY guilty about that. NEVER usedd to walk! But then I was doing 10miles per week less.
