What: hopefully 20ish miles
Why: need to sign up for a marathon today, it's in 6 weeks so want to see where I'm at
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: yesterday I guess, though was on my feet a lot
Lyrics: nope
Have fun with the longer run Pammie
Morning Pammie.
Early run today as I have a few work things on at school later. Hope to get at least 16 miles in this morning.
I know the lyrics, lovely song!
Morning.
Yesterday's lyrics - If I Should Fall Behind by Bruce Springsteen.
Thanks for the thread start Pammie. Good luck with that longer run.
Take it easy emzap.
Enjoy Donaldo.
That was very good of you Blisters. Have you tired a different pair of bike shorts? I find that can make a lot of difference to comfort levels.
What: LSR
Why: VLM looming
Last hard: don't really do hard
Last rest: 19/2
Lyrics - yes.
Emzap and LMH, enjoy those long runs! 17.3 for me today in a little over 2hrs21mins. Legs very tired and course very hilly - didn't really enjoy it today but at least it's more miles in the bank!
What: probably not a lot
why: blowing a gale. Ran yesterday and will run again tomorrow. LK 7 days.
last hard: 13 days ago
last "rest" Friday
lyrics no
that's keen donaldo
Morning!
What: 5.2k, effectively a fartlek, off road
Why: couldn't slow down...and then wind slowed me down/repeat several times.
Lyrics: no
L60 texted me to say she can't put her weight on her foot today following yesterday's incident. Swollen/going black and blue etc. Will go and see her later before driving to mum's in the East Midlans, waving to LMH on the way by of course.
Sounds as though an x-ray will be required Alehouse. Would be nice to see you one day on your way past
Nice early miles Donaldo.
24 for me today, just one of those Forrest Gump days, weather was beautiful, first time in shorts and t-shirt for ages with the wind only just beginning to pick up near the end. It will be an easy day tomorrow as work has taken my turbo time so just a swim.
What 21.5
Why LSR
Lyrics no
Seemed to have lost a week to the black dog again, though looking back over the last two years it's happened before, not sure why.
Anyway, jumped back in with an LSR but without any mp miles as I doubt the legs would cope at the moment. Not sure of my VLM target now, may just plod around for the atmosphere.
Hope all is well with everyone else.
LMH: mega distance
Excellent parkrunning, Don.
Hope things come together, postie.
20 with 14@MP today. No Forest Gump run moment, I'm afraid. Miserable, wet, windy, slow and shit sums it up. Ouch. Wind was so bad it blew us backwards at times. I'd chosen the race again that I'd used before because out where I live the winds are unbearable. Well, it wasn't much better at the race venue. No markers.... they had all been blown away. As it had been raining heavily all night and most of the morning, the off-roady bits were very muddy and I ended up looking like a swamp thing
Boston waves are up
what: see above
why: because I'm a leetle insane
last hard: today (I was overtaken by random drinks cups each time I passed the drinks table...they were flying everywhere)
last rest: Monday
lyrics: yes. Somehow I picture OH doing that
Got me curious. Yep done that although usually prepared!
L60 injury more likely to be ligamentous if swelling and failure to weight bear came on later. Not good news though ...
I think I now have the lyrics
20 and a bit miles done. I got lost on the way back to the car, so the "bit"!
Half marathon felt really easy. I did the 2:30 pace which was run at 2:20, but still felt very easy, which is good seeing as I'm aiming for 1:50, but it was on a very hilly course which today was also windy. Felt good to have a police escort for my long run though
Knee feeling a bit sore now and I don't know why...may need to get the dreaded foam roller out...
Some good long runs there Chick, Postie, LMH, Don.
Afternoon all,
Some serious mileage/long runs being logged. Now I'll bring things back to earth...
Have a good one!
Afternoon
Good runs Donaldo, LMH, Postie, Chickadee, emzap
Blisters Very Gallant of you
Alehouse owwww poor L60 best get that checked out
AF I make you feel better
Just a smidge under 5½ miles a few walk breaks needed. Was nearly 2pm when I got out so warm but to be expected Went off road proper off road no fancy trail path laid by council Very quiet along a little river.
Just a few horses and a large bird for company
What: 5hrs on the bike
Why: base work
Last hard: yesterday with a huge course PB
Last rest: Sunday 16th Feb
Lyrics: No
Good running chickadee. You should smash that 3.15 if you stay well and uninjured.
Good training emzap.
Hope you're back on track postie.
Exploring Pammie?
It was the weather for it Gobi.
LMH A little bit like that
very Jealous of all these mile being posted, well done all.
Nothing here as resting my calf, hoefully will be seeing sports theripist on Monday or Tuesday to see how bad it is.... at least I can walk on in now more thatn what I could last night without being in pain.....
Atleast was given the happyness of a Fulham win....
We'll see chicka
Hope you're soon 100% RFJ.
Pammie: Wish I had a large bird for company on my runs
Hiya,
Ale - hope your running buddy is soon back in top form
RFJ - bugger with the injuries but congrats on the awards. Can't believe you went with that bunch down the road as your new club
Excellent long runs logged - postie, Chicka, Emz, LmH & Don. Slightly envious.
Like AF I'll add a more measured tone:
what - 5.5 miles on lanes/fields.
why - eldest had double county hockey fixture against Sussex and Kent. Had hour window pre kick off, so took the opportunity to explore new ground. Apparently some of the route forms part of the Barns Green Half if anybody has done that one.
last rest - Wednesday
last hard - ages ago
Enjoy whats left of the weekend
Pammie: I had to Google the lyrics. You are closer than you imagine.
On Thursday night I went to a Scuba diving session, and after I’d used up my tank of air and the pool had quietened down, I put in 400m. Why not? That was an 8-10pm session.
Sunday night is coached training: 6-7pm. Again, it went well. I chose not to lead the lane 4 set, but was nipping the ankles of the leader. I slightly over exerted myself last week, and needed to be a bit careful.
Other than that, I had a ship load of jobs, and got most of them done.
LMH: Yes, you are right about the padded shorts. I deliberately spent a little more on the next grade up of winter bib longs. They are more comfy, but now the sun has come out! The price of that stuff!
Postie: you are going to be fine with a bit of a taper. Set out your A, B and C targets.
A great weekend for long runs: I’m dead jealous of you all.
And now I go to bed having witness Liverpool humiliate Everton United. Fergie must be spitting fire and kicking cats when he leaves the stands.
