what: 50 minutes easy then 10k @ 1/2m pace.
Happy running!
What: 5 miles very gentle in gym but with hr sky high - think body is still recovering from Amsterdam so will continue taking easy for a while (this is taking much longer than after my first marathon in April and am getting a bit impatient)

Hiya spud
Did almost 50 minutes base training probably 4-5 miles haven't measured it yet
Why: Cheddar Half on Saturday
can I come round & listen to your music collection please?
Really enjoyed my run tonight, the sea was calm & the moon was shining bright upon the water. My feet landing softly on the grassy carpet below my shoes.
All this peace will be shatterd in a few weeks when I start upping things a bit!!
I carn't wait.

7 miles pm with club.
Just me, the clubs fastest runner and 4 ladies out tonight. Us chaps kept doing 200-800m surges then doubling back for the ladies.
Nice to see you recent marathon people can't wait to get going again!
One personal milestone reached: I've just been over to my profile page and changed my weekly mileage to 'more than fifty'. Well, it seemed important to me...
95 minutes - good luck on Saturday and let us know what the race is like. I haven't been to Cheddar for years - might be tempted to try that one if it's on again next year.
Potential reasons for improvement in order of probability/effectivity
1) Course run regularly starts and finishes uphill, so in reverse the first couple of miles are down hill or flat so hill doesn't take it out of me straight away
2) Base training is reducing cardiac drift allowing me to maintain pace
3) Am getting faster
4) Ran outside HR limit - actually not - max is 142, and i ran at ave 138 and maxed at 146 only
Late post today as I didn't really know what session I was going to do until I did it. Anyway, I arrived at the club night, and was very pleased to find out that a bunch of people wanted to do a track session (the club is very ad hoc like that), so off we went.
What: 5 x 1600, 200 recoveries
Why: long intervals for 10k training
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: yesterday
Very happy with the session - did it slightly faster than my 5 x 1200 session on Tuesday.
That's a great session to get in for 10K training Venom. Not much time left to get any more in though.
Got round 5 miles tonight dead slow (37:32 - outside 7:30 pace). Wasn't feeling quite 100%, but average HR stayed down at 138. Not too enjoyable an outing though.
Did not want to post until I'd actually done the sessions today.
What - 5 easy am - back in the right time range, pm did the `Hadd' test again which lovers of Base Training will be familiar with. Great results. I was quicker @ 140 bpm than I was @ 150 bpm last time and so on.
My threshold pace for the 2400m @ 170 bpm was 5:43 miling, a significant improvement on the 6:19 miling it was before.
After the 6.5 miles of Hadd I went and did a steady club run of 7.5 miles - 14 in all and 19 for the day.
Why: sharpener for the weekend (South of the Thames)
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Rest: 10 days
I hope to be able to perform a 'Hadd test' early next week. Do you have any tips or suggestions on the session to enable it to go smoothly?
Cheers
nice and easy to get rid of the kinks (hate it when you're followed by musicians)
Sub 50 mins just and feeling quite strong yet tender - legs wanted to go really fast but head held me back....
Oh, make sure your HRM's battery is not going to wear out and you have a watch which can record splits as you go!
Good luck with it. Hope you post the results on the daily thread.
