Last rest: Sunday

What: club night hill sprints oh goody

Last hard: Saturday
What: 5-6m's and Pilates
Why: Club run, and the pilates is due to me being too nice and saying I'll go with a friend
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: Friday
Two Ton - your 'what' is absolutely terrifying - do you not get tired? (or is that demeaning to your manliness
And has anyone here done Pilates? My first time, and not quite sure what to expect (tho have been told it's very good for me)
Have a good day!!
Anyway morning all,
What: 30 min at "conversational" pace
Why: mileage build-up
Last hard: Friday
Off for coffee now...
a) done an individual one first to really get the hang of things (this seems to be the recommendation)
b) found a decent instructor - the one we had was just vague and useless
That said I would do it if i could find convenient local classes and a good instructor - the concepts certainly seemed good.
All seems to have truly gone pear shape.
On Saturday, went out for 6 mile easy but in first half just upped the pace ever so slightly for 100 metres to see how leg was and same pain as before and the second half of the recovery run was absolute agony with very bad pain ın shin and rear muscle.
Having tried to take it easy week before last, am left with feeling I have no other option than to take a few days complete rest so am planning nothing at all now until Thursday or Friday this week. May try and do a bit of cycling tonight and some stretches.
Am at a loss as what may have caused this. Thought at fırst may be linked with treadmill running, then thought may be linked with shoes. Am running ın NB 1022 whıch are fairly neutral with ca 100 miles in the and 830s which have 400 miles ın them. But really dont know. Am feeling to be honest pretty miserable and desperatley worried about what this means for London on 18 Apil. Also not really sure how to solve this as living over here in turkey means it is almost impossıble to go and find a good sports physio for advice.
Would welcome any suggestions or thoughts out there on what to do. İf İ do take time out until say Friday which will mean basically a week off, is this likely to set me back too far for London. İs there anything İ can do to minimise loss of fitness.
Sorry to sound so down but this is my first real set back and first bloody injury!!!!
Simon
P.S. At least it is nice weather down here and Mary has got some good runs in for her half in March! Lucas has also been practicising his beer dunking skills ready for an attack on Snail and Tim in the Hague.
Hilly good to see you keeping active
What: 1 hour pilates session and 5m easy run am, hill fartlek club session tonight which includes long run out and back total run 12 miles.
Why: Mileage building
Have a good day everybody
What: hopefully nothing although am waiting to hear from lunchtime running partner about whether my presence is required for her to be able to run today
Why: still in 'come back' phase so knackered after Sunday's and Monday's runs
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: saturday
Have fun, all.
What: probably go for a swim
Why: calf feels better, but I'm erring on the side of caution here
Really hoping that a few days rest will give the calf chance to heal. Also having another massage on Saturday which should help. Just hope all will be well for a good half marathon at Wokingham! At least I'm getting an (enforced) taper for this...
Good running everyone.
What: 1600M speed reps @gym done
Why: modified FLM schedule
Last Rest:Yesterday
Last Hard: Saturday, hill reps
Have fun out there
what: reps
Happy running!
gentle five mile last night may have been a mistake...oh well too late now!
what: club night including delightful 2 mile handicap which i am dreading
why: that, is indeed a good question
last hard: sunday
last rest: friday
I can see I am going to struggle to get out of the door tonight but I have my night off tomorrow so trying to keep focussed.
Have a good one everyone and hope you injured people get well soon!
What: dragged my still bruised and battered body around a 9 mile undulating loop at little more than recovery pace, some easy strides late on.
Why: Mileage building and re-establish base.
Last hard: 2 days (Tough Guy)
Last rest: 4 days
Mileage last 7 days: 32
Good to be out treading the roads and building the mileage again. Sore shin and knee on rhs still from Sunday - should ease of as bruising subsides. Club night tonight (shall be at the back of the slow group), massage and rest day tomorrow.
Have a good day all.
I am sure there is a great deal of difference between that and a full marathon tho. Don't get too down about it. Everyone is different and each come back is different. If you can keep generally fit during your layoff you may be fine.
What: 5m forest run
Why: It's in the new plan!
Last rest: Sunday
Last hard: Sat
Happy day.............................
What: 8K row (2:04 pace, 200 drag)
Why: Running substitute/injured
Last rest: Xmas day
Last hard: today
7 day totals:
Run - 0
Row - 26K (16m)
Swim - 9.5K
Felt really tired today and struggled to complete the 8K at 2:04/500m, when last week I was doing it at 2:02/500m. It could be the late night last night, or perhaps I could do with a rest as it's been over a month.
SiT - sorry to hear about your problems. From my past experience, I'd say take it carefully with cross-training: if you can find something that won't affect those muscles then fair enough, but anything that is working them, even if not to the same extent as running, might still slow your recovery. You shouldn't lose much fitness in a week off, especially with your endurance base, and it's definitely better to get it sorted now than to only half-rest it and have it lingering for ages. Definitely see a physio if possible though. I hope you come through it ok.
Anyway,
What: done 5m easy, 8x400s tonight with club.
Why: training has been a bit erratic recently for various reasons, and I need to get back into a decent routine.
Last hard: 10 days
Last rest: yesterday
Have a good one.
Had a nightmare last night, went to gym and it was so packed I git the ump and walked out, so had to do yesterdays weights session today
But............
I decided to do a 3 mile run on the treadmill, always start at 12kph to begin with as a warm up, so in I tap 12, and all of a sudden the thing went mental and nearly threw me off the end, wasnt till I slammed the stop button that I read the display now showing mph, the machine had reset its self as all machines are measured in kms!
What: 3 mile run in 20 mins and total body workout on weights.
Hope a small run tonight before work
Why: Last phase in the weights programme, move on to smaller reps week after next and just wanted a short burst of a run as its small speed sessions coming up!
Last Rest: Yesterday ( after walking out of the gym )
Last Hard: Sunday
Bye all
