Don't feel you're behind, it really does depend what plan your using as to what long runs you've got and when. I have events most weekend through the summer, some running, some MTB, but these throw my plan out of sync so I started early to allow for race weeks and recovery weeks. The final 6weeks will be the only uninterrupted ones for me.
Also, hill repeats on a rest week ?!?
Yep ! doms just setting in ! Not sure about intervals on day before long runs
will stick with it for next couple and see how it goes.
Sounds a bit mean to me.
Me too !
hi folks, have just got in to work after a fab week end at thunder run! I can honestl asy that it was the best race I have done, a great course, well marshalled, clean toilets and hot clean showers.
Fantastic support, mostly from fellow runners between laps! I cant wait for next years event!
Wow ...clean toilets and clean hot showers ?!!! Amazing ! Sounded like a great event you must still be buzzing ! What distance did you run overall ?
mIanaged 4 laps, so 40k, couldve done more but order of runs got messed up as we had a few drop out and some injuries.
the fact that most of the crowd were runners was amazing too, they ad either just run or were just about to run, and no one said "you are nearly there, keep going" !!
It was like a big running carnival, every one was really friendly, and yes, I am still buzzing!!
Awesome !! Sounds great !
Just entered. At least there is plenty of time to build up to the long runs.
Will try a different training plan and see if that helps
Hi Cheshercat ...good luck with training .
serious case of DOMS this morning, I did 4 very hilly miles on tuesday night, went for a 10 mile walk with gf in peak district yesterday and am feeling a bit broken this morning!!
more hills tonight I think.....
Ouch !!! Nooooo no more hills !! Go for easy run instead ....gd luck.
It looks like I am stuck in trhe office a while longer so wont get to do hills with running club, a plod on the flat instead I think....
I have a place for this to swap. This is an official transfer too, would accept £10 less then face value place cost.
Easy 40 min run today.... swapped today's intervals with Tuesdays easy run to save legs for long run tomorrow
how far is long run tomorowHeather?
Hi BP think my plan behind everyone else, 14 tomorrow.
Ps have your legs recovered ?!!
Hi there - I'm running Chester this year. This will be my second marathon after Paris in April. Hopefully I will hit the target this time and totally avoid any injury (touch wood).
Following the sub 4:30 training plan that was put together by Sam Murphy for the Asics 262 campaign.
Good luck everyone.
hi HeatherS, legs have def not recovered! I did a half yesterdy, mostly up hill, down near bournemouth. Plodded round in 1h 55, my tired legs excuse didnt wash with the GF, as she beat me by 7 minutes!!!!
welshgje *high five* for Paris. You going back for 2015?
Hi folks - we'll have to check out of our hotel before the start; does anyone know if there are showers available at the finish, or is there somewhere in town that can be used? Not sure I fancy travelling back home without having had some sort of "freshen up".
hi kilomiler, fairly confident that there arent any showers at the course...
Hi all, my turn for doms ! Feeling like I've had a good kicking ! A hilly 14.24 yesterday 2hrs 20 ... Now that should make you feel better about your time BP !!!
Hi Kilomiler know what you mean ! Think I will be settling for the wet wipes
hi HS, not sure that it makes me feel better, lol. good miles though!
I am doing club run tomorrow night, not sure how legs will react!! serious DOMS!
I am having a rest day today, when I say rest day, I mean booze
Enjoy !! Just short recovery run for me tomorrow don't think my legs are up to much else.
Yep I'm gonna have to travel as a sticky mess on the train all the way back to Kent...
Hi Natty .....oh dear ...!!
at races this year where I have to travel a fair way to get home, I tend to take 3 or 4 2 litre bottles of water with me, make sure that they are piping hot before setting off, leave them in the car wrapped in a towel and then have a bit of a shower with them in the car park after the race. I strip down to shorts and use shower gel and scrunchie, its not perfect, but better nothing. If the summer carries on like this, should be ok to do the same come october......
Wish I could swap, my lcalves are in bits. Clonmel Half marathon coming up in two weeks, we'll know then....
