Why: what was a cold turned into a nasty virus that made me feel like someone had taken a baseball bat to my head, now coping with a nice 60 per day cough!
I hate being out of training and this is the pits so am downing anything that will help - most of which is the alternative sort. We'll see if it helps.
Next: asap
Why: Long run yesterday, which I did too fast (silly, silly...).
Last hard day: Yesterday.
Last rest day: Today (from running).
I think I'll stick to running at least I can understand that, well most of the time.
What: 50x25m swim
Why: have very achy leg muscles after yesterday's race and if I'm to race again on Saturday I need to take some easy days this week. Saturday's race is a road one so hoping for a good time.
Last hard: definitely yesterday
Last rest: from running, today.
Well done all you weekend racers. Do you all feel as sore as me today?
Just had to get this off my chest
What: Nothing
Why: Probablly due to the old codger who decided to try and cross a dual carriageway (in his little ford fiesta)without checking that anyone was coming and actually ended totaling both our cars! Decided due to slight aches and pains to give tonights run and tomorrow mornings gym session a miss! Feel the need for several beers instead...celebrating still being in one piece!
Last hard: sunday 10 miler
Last rest: tonight!...alcohol induced sleep here I come
Next: short amble tomorrow night (if I can get out of bed in the morning!)
Anyway...
What: 6 mile run (well, 5.66 mile run) with the club
Why: It's Monday :-)
Last hard: This evening - this is the only chance I get to run with other people, and they're faster than me so I regard it as speed training
Last rest: Saturday, but I've had a cold for two weeks so feel that I've been doing too much resting.
Actually had the pleasure of a session with my elder son (11) this evening. We ran for 17 mins 30; he started with his usual stitch after 2 minutes but by switching his breathing to his left footstrike got through it, kept going at a reasonable pace and concentrated well. An enjoyable outing for both of us - although I could hear him wheezing, as he'd forgotten his inhaler (again).
What: Club session: 5 * circuit taking ca 3 mins, couldn't get anyone to commit themselves to saying how far it was. 1.5 min recoveries.
Not quite as painful as the 1/2m reps last time. Can't believe I'll ever get to be a lactic acid junkie like some of you guys and prefer these to long runs.
Why: got endurance, must get some speed!
Last hard: tonight
Last rest: Sat.
Signed the application form so looks like I can finally call myself 'a club runner'. Halleluja.
400 metres is too much
God Im crap
What - nothing,
Why - still feeling despondant & sorry for myself about reocorrance of injury @ missing a dead cert 2nd place in Sundays race
Last hard - 8 days
Next hard - 24 days (hopefully)
