Bit late in today. Had a lovely run with my new shoes last night. No blisters though feet were a bit sore after.
Today: enforced rest due to enforced work social
Tomorrow: 10 mile plus fingers crossed
Why: last long training run ahead of Thanet 10 next week
Last rest: currently resting my little socks off
Last hard: last night
Have good running weekends everyone and try to avoid the rain if you can!
What: fell run up Skiddaw with Mr & Mrs SiT, both ludicrously talented runners as well as charming people. All the best the Lakes has to offer with snow, wind & fog! Thanks to Simon's state of the art Timex gadget can reveal run data of 16.3 km, 2.17 hrs, 900 m ascent. Not content with that Simon then made us run to the tearooms "to get 5 mins longer sit down", see the logic, sort of.
Brief but gorgeous glimpse of baby SiT who can probably already crawl faster than I can run.
Best of luck anyone racing 10ks etc this weekend.
Glad you suvived the run I was worried for you when I read about this in Simon's training schedule!
Enjoyed hearing about your joint schedules/race plans
Cheers Tim - see you next week, fingers crossed for sunshine!!
What - 4 x 1200m at 6.24 in gym with 1/2 mile warmup and warmdown
Why - General speed building
Last Rest - Yesterday
Last Hard - Wed new pb for 7 mile hilly loop!!
Hoorah...
At last feel I have something to report..back still giving me grief but not as bad as it was...this week only managed a 17 mile long run Sunday a 19 mile long run wednesday and today an hours run over a hilly course I feel I am back on track.
A word of caution too much knowledge is bad.!!! I believed i had IT band problems pain on outside edge of knee, which went from under me and very very painful...I got myself in such a state over it....only to have my training partner tell me it was my over training too much too soon !!!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Went to the physio. 100mpw with minimal stretching meant a painful session.
I'll start a new thread on stretching. It seems impossible to all he says to do whilst holding down a full time job as well. Would be interested in what everyone else does.
Glad you had good weather for the fell run Laura and SiT. Surprised he let you get away with 16.3km without `running a bit more to round it up'. Or was that the extra 5 mins to the tearoom?
What: Nothing
Why: Worked my ass off at work for 12 hrs last night and was shattered, decided to sleep all day.
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: Sunday
Enjoy the weekend
Why: racing tomorow, just want to do something though.
Will catch up on thread later - not read yet.
A.
Why: Feeling a little overtrained, so I've opted for a 2-day break before Sunday's off-road race.
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: Saturday
Llama Man, GDL + Stickless, hang in there people, best wishes to you all.
Laura, sounds like an awesome run, wish I could've been there.
What: Nowt
Why: Friday = day off & I'm absolutely knackered
Last hard run: Last nights run was quite brisk
Last rest day: Friday
;-)
Lots of good training going on today.
Speedy recovery to all of you favouring HORRID injuries. I know how you feel as I'm still fighting mine. Refusing to give in at the moment, but my back is always my achilles heel and it's telling me too often at the moment that some kind of break is needed.
Anyway, did 3 easy in the dark this am. Not sure I'm a 6.30am runner! It's just too dark and creepy! Then another gentle 3 miles this evening. Didn't feel comfortable as my back is tight today. Trying to stay positive about it all and still hoping to race on Sunday, but I'll have to see how it feels tomorrow. No point in me racing if I can't go at race pace!
Sounds like you had a good run Laura with Mr and Mrs SiT.
12 hrs is a long work night Speedy! Do you do your training before sleep or after sleep?
Have a good night all.
Just catching up on thread.
For all you injured peeps - speedy recovery
For everyone else have good racing/training time this weekend.
Andy
sounds like you had a great time Laura and the SiTs
Discovered a new Friday session I don't fancy doing again......
2 miles in 12:40 (didn't warm up enough & found the first mile quite hard)
1/3rd mile jog recovery in 2:36
2 miles in 12:36
1/3rd mile jog recovery in 2:35
2 miles in 12:33 (this did surprise me)
1/3rd mile jog recovery in 2:38
2 miles in 12:41 (legs finally went in the last mile)
Total time 58:19 - so average pace even with recovery jogs was 6:29 miling over the 9 miles.
Apart from not hitting 12:40 on the last effort, all aims achieved.
Guts complained again afterwards though.
However, not enough to prevent me from currently taking alternate sips from a well-chilled glass of DAB lager and a well-chilled glass of Spätlese......
2.6 miles and had to do a ward round
now, why are all my muscles aching
One of our local V45 ladies is a sub 3:15 marathoner. She also is a nurse (cancer specialist) and has to carry a mobile when out on a long run with us. Essential for the medical proffesion so I understand.
What: 5 miles stead and a core stability session
Why: Racing tomorrow
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: 7 days
