Have fun.

What: rest
Why: marathon recovery 4 weeks ago nearly & my first Kent League xc of the season tomorrow.
Last hard: that M thing
Last rest: mon
Look after yourselves :-)
What: 5 easy am, 8 miles pm
Why: base building
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: 21 days
BTW, totted up my training log last night. Tuesday morning's easy 5 mile run took me past 3000 miles for the year so well on course to beat last year's 3125.
What : I'm just out for a run - probably 4 miles or so - may as well as I don't have to be in Sheffield until 10 and I've got too much stuff to carry to take my bike up. Anyone know of any halfs on the weekend after this apart from Clowne ? I know that the events listing isn't comprehensive. Does anyone watch Superstars - I thought that triathlete was a bit poor last night - beaten by Annabel Croft! I wish they'd make it a 3000 metres instead of an 8 though - and I'd like to see them come back down the hill on the bikes.
What: 13km steady with ten lots of 100 metre strides thrown in and two lots of one minutes fast
WHY: First speed work since marathon
Last hard: nearly 4 weeks ago
Last rest: last Friday
Simon
What:8 or 9, steady
Why:Schedule says so
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: tum te tum ...
Mike S - couldn't agree with you more regarding your comment yeserday about having better form on faster runs. Seems to apply to me as well - hard sesions don't seem to affect my joints nearly as much as slower ones!
Might start to abandon anything in my schedule that says 'slow' in favour of a bike ride, just as an experiment ...
A lot of us doing that base training thing have noticed the same with our joints/shins
50 minute hilly run done...I think I love the hills as it gives you such a buzz when you have run up them.
Wiil do 5 miles after work
Why:part of my trainig
Have a good one out there today!!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Back is very still very stiff making it difficult to get my shoes and socks on. Physio session tomorrow morning hopefully will sort it out. Hopefully the physio won't find me too offensive after a trip to the Rainhill Bierfest tonight (60 real ales - it don't get much better than this).
This is now 2 months with illness and injury.
So:-
what: rest
why: crocked
last rest: yesterday, day before, day before that etc etc
last hard: sometime mid-September
Well done BR on the mileage.
What: 30min steady to blow out the remenants of this flu . Hope I can remember how to run, its been a while.
Last hard: 3 weeks ago!
Have a good weekend.
What: nothing
Why: going to the Wye valley for the weekend to rest and recuperate.
Last hard: yesterday's swim
Last rest: Tues
hope everyone gets better and has a good weekend, whatever they're doing... I'm giving in and going back to my parents' house to be 'looked after'!
I am one of the 'few' it seems..
What: 4 miles at 137 bpm
Why: BT
Yesterday improved over 6 miles by 15 secs per mile for same HR. Maybe it is starting to work.
Today's run will put me over 30 miles for the week for the first time since pre FLM 2003.
I'm off tomorrow for 2 weeks holiday have a great time all.
RB
RB, I'm one of the few too! And it's definitely starting to work for me. 6-mile run yesterday took me over a minute less than it did last week, and I'm getting better at keeping the HR steady.
What: 3 miles @ 80-85% WHR.
Why: My once-weekly indulgence which keeps me on track with base training the rest of the time!
Last hard: Last Friday's tempo/Sunday's long run.
Last rest: Wednesday - bad night Tuesday so felt like a day off.
Hope all those with niggles get better soon.
What: light upper body workout, abs, stretches
Why: resting legs today - adding 2 mile hill to my weekend loop tomorrow
Hope all those suffering are soon feeling better and all those running have good weekends! Special thoughts to hilly & dangly. Happy hols Ratty!
Sorry to read about all the injuries, hope they clear up fast.
What: 10K aerobic row on the C2 ~140 bpm
Why: achilles throbbing and a few joints creaking, so thought I would play safe.
Last rest: 19 days
Last hard: Sunday
7 day cumulative running mileage: 28m
BR well done on the mileage, impressive.
I think I may have ramped up my mileage a bit quick over recent weeks so have decided to throw in a couple of these 10K rows in along with 5 runs for a week or two and see how it goes. That will give me a weekly mileage of around 30m + 20K rowing. Then I'll try and increase the length of the runs from 40 mins to 1 hour. If that goes okay I'll replace the rowing too.
Well, that's the plan.
Have a good day.
First training session last night since the Dublin Marathon in which my Left knee didn't hurt during the training so, hopefully things are improving.
Never the less Rest for me today, trying to make sure I don't put too much pressure on the knee.
LL
Good Luck to you all with your racing and training this weekend
what: done 5m easy, weights later
why: run off stiffness from last night and hit mileage target
last hard: last night!
last rest: Saturday
I'm off to a conference for the weekend so won't be posting for a couple of days. I'm combining it with two rest days.
Oh yeah, this week's mileage = 60m.
Have a good weekend everyone.
I'm really feeling OK on it too - in fact I said to Mr Minks after last night's 6-miler at base training HR that I really didn't feel as though I'd been for a run at all!
Have a good weekend everyone!
Today: day off
Why: tapering for Brighton, and going to a posh restaurant this evening
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: Tuesday
Not going to get a chance to post tomorrow, so hopefully will be back Sunday evening with a triumphant race report! Just have to hope that those winds hold off...
Good luck to all the other racers as well.
Just thoought I'd let you know that I'm feeling much more positive and happier today after my visit to doc's yesterday. My doc happens to be in orthopaedics as well as a GP, which is handy.
Main injury to leg is NOT serious, it's muscular and should improve rapidly with rest and deep friction massage!
Injury to my neck is a trapped nerve caused from getting out of bed to fast! I've been told to keep moving it even though it's painful and to carry on doing light swim sessions if I can after a few days.
I've been given Diclofenac Sodium, which are strong anti-inflmmatory painkillers, so hope to see improvement in a day or so and a return to training of some kind early next week. In the meantime I'll enjoy a few days of light stretching to maintain flexibility.
Have a good weekend all!
The longest I've had off running in one go is 3 days, so I'm sure I'm due a rest!
Mind it won't be any longer than it has to be!!!
What - it looks unlikely that I'm going to get outside before this project is finished (tomorrow 1pm!) and the debris from doing absolutely nothing in the house or for the house for a week is sorted.
I'm supposed to be "racing" on Sunday. Call it taper and grin, I guess.
Why: Trying to build up stamina for onslaught on half marathon pb.
What: zero since last weekend
Why: Hip on LHS still troublesome
Last hard: 19 days (Snowdonia Marathon)
Last rest: am getting too much rest.
Still no sign of hip recovering. Need to get some further treatment. Meantime shall be getting the bike out and in the pool over the weekend.
Happy running all - wild, wet and windy wekend ahead (just perfect for you cross country folk).
What: yesterday's planned run- 6-7 miles easy at lunchtime
Why: tapering for race on Sunday
Last rest: yesterday doh!
Last hard: 10 mile club run on weds
Why: Last hard week before I decide if I'm going to have a go at 2:45 at luton
Last hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: 18 days
