A piece of lyric which I wish applied to me.
Got various LT runs to do. Might do a double by having an easy run later.
Good luck to all Saturday Shoppers & Sunday racers.

rest day!

Mission accomplished!
Have been awake since 4am and was so eager to get out but was unsure what I wanted to do, so having a long think and looking back on the last two long runs I decided to set a challenge of beating my last two long runs.
Two weks ago: 20 miles in 2:35:38
Last Friday : 21 miles in 2:34:33
Today I did : 23 miles in 2:43:37
The aim was to keep to 35 minutes for each 5 mile lap and just about hung in there, mega pleased, the 20 miles was done under 2hrs 20 which is what I was aiming for, but wasnt sure if I could pull it off.
Which went:
1.5 mile warm up: 11:44
5.0 miles 34:58
5.0 miles 34:19
5.0 miles 34:41
5.0 miles 34:57
1.5 mile cool down 12:42
Why: Weekly long run, unsure if it was gonna happen tomorrow so thought Id best get it in.
Last Hard: Yesterdays 5 mile was harder than today!!!
Last Rest: Wednesday
Good luck to all XC runners today and to everyone else who is racing this weekend.
Time for a sauna and jacuzzi!!!
good luck BR and others in Nationals and WP in Welsh Championships! Also good luck to anyone doing any other race!
what:1600m swim and maybe 30 mins on turbo
why:well I was going to do my 7th run of the week, but still some soreness around inner left calf/shin and as I want to do a long run tomorrow I thought it best to rest it today.
last hard:yesterday's tempo runn
last rest:Wed
Good Luck BR, WP etc etc,
What: 4 miles recovery
why; Started off and realised that I was very stiff from yesterdays 21-22 miles so decided to take it easy.
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last rest: Tuesday
good luck to everyone in the Nationals - can't wait to read the reports.
What: nothing
Why: need a rest day - legs felt tired just cycling home from work yesterday, and that was downhill. Also seem to have picked up a slight abdominal strain, so on the whole it seems best to have a day off.
Last hard: Thursday
Last rest: 8 days
Have a good one.
I woke up ready to go to the Nationals and as I started to move felt a sharp pain at the bottom of my back. It only hurts when standing up straight, or moving, so I've got no idea what it is or what caused it but running is obviously out.
Will try and rest up today, and get it sorted since although I'm gutted to miss the National, London has always been the target for this year.
Good luck all racers.
Good luck WP.
Speedie, good work, must be a good confidence booster. Great mental determination to run all that way on your own early doors.
Good luck to BR, Tim and others running the natioanl
What: Nightmare 10km with Mary with leg giving me problems all the way round. Really is getting me down. Although I have been out last 5 days not one has been enjoyable.
Why: cos I'm stubbornly stupid
Simon
Good luck everyone in Nationals.
Can't wait to read reports BR&WP.
What: 11.5 miles
Why: makes 31 miles for this week, my second in a row!
Felt really tough today with wind and cold.Thought I was going to collapse up the last hill! Particularly hard run with lots of hills, might be overdoing the comeback.
I have gone 18,25,30,31 since recovering from a month of various bugs. Thought I might be due for a recovery week of 25miles again next week and then back up to 32miles.
Don't forget you've got tomorrow AND Monday to recover (bloody teachers' in-service days, grrrrrrr!)
And good luck to everyone else, of course! Go for it ....
5 x 1 mile in 5:25, 5:27, 5:20, 5:21, 5:20 with 3 minutes recovery inbetween. Tough session, especially so early in the morning and after a few beers last night.
Good luck in the nationals today.
SiT-you are doing what most of us have done with injuries and being as stubborn as most runners are! Don't make it worse though!!
Have you thought of using an infra red heat lamp to help with recovery. It's been recommended to me by a football physio, so I'm thinking of getting one.
Today's run...! Well, the schedule said 19 miles, so went forth into a blizzard on some rather lonely farm tracks... really suffered in the wind, but kept going (up to 600 feet, according to the Garmin!), even though my eylashes became two solid lumps of ice, and my Platypus froze. After about 13 miles I realised that I was suffering from the early stages of hypothermia (lack of co-ordination, sleepyness - oh, and no movement in my hands) so cut my run short and headed home. But legs were fine and final score was about 15.5 miles, and I felt that I could easily have done the extra 3.5 miles - if the weather had been kinder! I don't usually wimp out becuase of the weather, but when a situation looks a bit dangerous, I don't have any qualms about it!
Happy racing and running, everyone!
What: easy, mainly off-road 6 miler
Why: to recover from last night and to keep the legs ticking over for the Winchester 10K tomorrow.
Last hard: last night
Last rest: 5 days
Donaldo: the 4 x 1 mile sounds tough but I think I'd find sitting thru Atomic Kitten even tougher!
MikeB: bad news and BAD timing! hope it's nothing too serious
LizzyB: all i can say is wow! you've made me feel a total wimp for moaning about going out this afternoon in conditions that are almost tropical compared to yours!
BR/BT: good luck- i await your reports
What: 5 1/2 m
Why: Cos I've been a lazy sod since tuesday nights 10K.
And I tell you, four days rest isn't worth it. Gargh, the pain, the effort! Stupid drop in fitness *grumble grumble*
Ah well, back on the joey train now
LizzyB: Frozen eyelashes result in me running into dustbins, so you get my utmost respect
Good luck at the XC's - send us those reports!!
Anybody seen Llama man recently?
4mile, 48min run/walk 4/1. (Temp here now well above freezing and humid hooray)
