Managed to fit in a 40 min fartlek session on the road (and grass verges) this morning,around 5-5.5 miles.
Felt a bit bloated I guess I went out too soon after breakfast
Why : Usually try mixed session on Saturday , either fartlek,hills or short speed run (2-3 miles flat out)
Last Rest : Yesterday
Last Hard : Thursday
Hosting a wine tasting party tonight so that'll be champagne and beer to warm up, 12 different wines, assorted ports afterwards and M&S convenience snack foods to stave off the hunger.
Will I do the 13mile long run tomorrow?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
What: 6 miles intervals (hilly) with club followed by 4 miles tempo on treadmill in 26.5 min
Last Rest: Yesterday & the day before & the day before ...
Last Hard: Tuesday (21 miles)
Now knackered !
Why: Cause I read Cath's thread, and just had to run it off. Just marking time and trying to stay fit until next Sunday, can't afford to rock the boat.
Developed a technique for avoiding comments from youths when I take walking breaks. When I need a walk and there are potential hecklers, I race past them, then stop, breathing harder than is at all necessary, push imaginary buttons on my watch, and mutter about times. It just seems to sow enough doubt in their minds as to whether I am actually suitable material for heckling to keep them quiet till I can get away.
Good luck racers!

Why: 10k tomorrow and having my first easy week since April.
Can't get the hang of these easy weeks. I'll have ended up doing less than 25 miles in total.
Why: Hamstring pull from Thursday doesn't feel too bad but left calf still extremely tight
What : Nothing
Why : scheduled rest day and recovering from hangover
Last Rest Day : Saturday (apart from today)
Last Hard Day : Thursday
30-35mile MTB tomorrow – I hope the rain stops
Will
What: Bodypump, then 30 mins of intervals on the steppy and 800m swim. Also about 6 "transport" walking miles.
Why: Attenuated session due to Bells of Pattingham tomorrow.
Last rest day: Yester...OK, maybe a 1.2km hard swim isn't rest. Monday, then.
Last hard day: Wednesday.
Why: Long run tomorrow. (With new micro-radio!)
Last rest day: Today.
Last hard day: Thursday.
Did 10k on the treadmill, eventually
Why. to see what lies beyond 13.1
By the end I was in real problems. Stepping up from 13 to 26 is not going to be easy
