Sunday Session

mmmm...marmite

Greetings All,
stunned that I'm the first to post in this thread today (considering it's 12:30PM), everyone must be racing or having a decent Sunday snooze!

Got up early to get my long run in before the GNR on the telly. What an amazing event! Congrats to all who took part. Sonia O'Sullivan ran an incredible race, awesome and the battle in the mens race between Yuda and Kosgei was classic, they were flying, confirmed by Kosgei's first ever sub-60 minute half on British soil, incredible stuff. MAkes me feel very humble about posting the following....

What: 15 miler
Why: Sunday long run
Last hard run: today
Last rest day: Friday

Was out racing so didn't see the GNR. Will watch the highlights at teatime. Anyone see any forumites on TV?

Today: Wimbledon 10 race. Not very high expectations, as a very hilly course, so expecting 72 - 73 minutes. Had a stormer and finished in 68:21! Full race report to appear on Events shortly...

Saw a little on the telly after my run and before taking midge1 to his first XC race (he finished 11th) no blue vests - will try the hi-lights.

what 9m slow
why long run in schedule to replace yesterday's failure to stick to schedule
last hard - today
last rest - Friday

legs feel v tired as my Sat plan of 7 miles didn't happen and turned into 2.5M up and down hills. So todays gentle day changed into a long run. Which I tried to push and found I couldn't - but that turned it into hard work.

o What: Nothing
o Why: Had to work today (from 6am onwards) plus recovering from Friday..

o Last hard: Friday - only four miles but went for it too hard (for breaking-in purposes) on a brand new pair of Adidas; the run itself wasn't hard, but I ache like buggery now! Must remember to be gentler when breaking in new shoes! (Does anyone else get this if they don't break them in gradually enough?)
o Last rest: Today

Mike S

what: steady 44 minute run (probably about 6.3 miles or so) over varying terrain (grass, sandstone, linear country park, road etc) and with a few climbs. Legs felt reasonably lively.
A v nice sunset over Wales as I climbed Thurstaston Hill.....
