what: intervals. 5x2k with 3min. recovery
Happy running!
I need some advice regarding weight training so I posted a thread in training. Can you help?
Thank you!
I did a test for a girls uni project yesterday and my resting heart rate was 63bpm. I did 30 mins intense at 17kmh and it went up to 171bpm. (This was meant to be 80% max). Iv never used a polar before so does this sound reasonable? I need to think about using one to measuer my heart rate as iv started upping my training significantly and having little rest in the form of long slow-ER runs.
Been reading about your problem BR and just made me think about starting to monitor my HR. I think im starting to train there or thereabouts the same sort of distance as you.
What: 45 mins AM, likely hard club session PM. May well just do a little as im going off for the Derby midweek 5k tommorow.
Why: May well just do a little as im going off for the Derby midweek 5k tommorow.
Last Hard: Sunday
Last rest: 23 days. (Think im closing in on Ron Hill's record of never having a rest day for about 50 years!
Your resting heart rate at 63 sounds a bit high. I reckon that being surrounded by girls who are showing an interest in your body has had an effect!
Try again later when you are bored.
(Finger tip on pulse point in neck is the best way)
The girl was lifting my shorts right up and feeling around the tops of my legs for a while before sticking computer registering ball things on certain points of my feet and legs though.
It showed the speed of my leg movement at normal start of run, then when fatigued.
I just had to read your last posting twice.
My own HR has gone up, as has blood pressure.
Phew!
I guess I could make myself available should they require more guinea pigs....!
Agree your resting rate sounds a bit high but then 171 for your hard effort sounds a bit low? Have you tried an HR maximum test
How can i get an accurate reading of my resting HR and Fatigued HR, (80 OR 90%)?
I'm now also a Lesser Injured Woodpecker, after a grim two weeks (never EVER get an infected blister on the sole of your foot. The gunk alone is enough to make you feel ill, never mind the bruising, the itching or the pain!) and am back.
What: Intense gym session followed by moderate swim
Why: Decided I'd joined the gym for reason and should start using it.
Last hard: Today...I'm shattered now!
Last rest: Last Wed.
Off to Newcastle tonight, so I shall be dancing and painting the town assorted colours.
Stifler - my resting heartrate is 60 and I'm also 18. And that was taken in a boring mundance situation
Just back from a pleasant 5 miler.
Legs a bit achy still.
But......
I got something in my eye that just wouldn't go away until I got indoors again.
SUNSHINE
Weeee Heeee
It'd be through the roof, and I'd be halfway to New Zealand
What: 5m easy (done), 4 x 1 mile in 5:24 (to look forward to)
Why: fortnightly VO2max session. I hate it, but always feel good afterwards.
Can people please advise me on a decent taper for London? This week is my highest mileage (70), next week will be roughly similar, (65), then I am planning to go 50, 35, 20 plus race. Does this look okay in terms of mileage?
Also - what to have in it?
Quality sessions - I am planning to do a longish (10-11m) marathon pace session and a tempo run 4 weeks out, 8-9 mile mp and intervals 3 weeks out, a short tempo and intervals 2 weeks out, and lastly some short sharpening intervals on the Tuesday of race week.
Long runs - 28/3: 20 miles inc some marathon pace running and a fast last 2 miles; 4/4: 15 miles slow (with maybe some strides in the last few miles); 11/4: 10 miles slow.
What are people's thoughts on this? Any advice gratefully received.
Off to the physio in an hour, so fingers crossed that she manages to have some effect. This is really messing up my marathon training right now!
Hum, take a look at Peak Performance (http://www.pponline.co.uk), if you do a search on "taper", loads of interesting stuff comes up.
Planned to go for a run today at a very low HR but still feeling stiff. So will abandon todays run (grudgingly)and see how i am tomorrow
Cold bath again
Blue and shivering after 5 minutes.
Seriously, take your HR at different times of the day. Mine seems to be lowest at around 6pm (after a hard day at work:-)).
As for max, go to a track, warm up, run 800m flat out, 2 mins jog then 400m flat out. HR at end of last rep should be around your max.
Seriously I hadn't considered that. I'm having an easy week (again) to try and shift it. Thanks.
just couldn't help myself
cold bath? perhaps not. might go and try the nice warm variety instead.
tri-club AGM tonight
what: 5miles(icl 3 miles at HM pace)
why: still following the HM schedule;)
only 3 weeks til my first HM.
We're coming over to the UK to see our families for the Easter break and I've managed to fit in 3 races in 10 days:)
(hubby is doing two of them with me)
Run strong:)
tiaxx
Well Iam up for some kind of madness at the club tonight, and will be weqaring shorts and wait for it- possibly a short sleeved top!
Back from the physio - she didn't come up with much specific (didn't expect her to, given the problem is a bit vague), but she did notice a weakness in my right gluteus medius (supports pelvis), and left vastus medialis (part of the quad that does the very last bit of straightening the knee). So I'm to do lots of strengthening exercises on those, and if I can run 5 miles tomorrow and 10 miles on Friday with no problems, then I'm allowed to do Kingston 16.
Plan at Kingston was to treat is as a London rehearsal, i.e. try to go round at exactly marathon pace. Hopefully that will still work out, but we shall see. I've now completely ruled out any thoughts of sub-3 at London - think I'll either defer, or do it at a much lower intensity.
Yesterday started off well and soon went downhill. I woke up today with a slight temperature and sore throat. Been sneezing all day. The family are all recovering from colds/flu and I have been surprised I lasted that long but you can't win against Nature. Well, no amounts of vitamin/herbal supplements will do so I guess I'll have to slog it out.
I received the best compliment ever today. A workmate said to me "Why are you ill, you're a fit & healthy runner!". Hey, I'm now a RUNNER - COOL!
Legs feel v. good. My current RHR is not far off from normal ie about 45. (My waking HR is about 40).
So I've taken a rest day. Had a mega authentic indian meal (ie double portions), quite a few chocs and now looking forward to having an early bath and early bed - Afterall, I'm ill ;-)
cheers.
nrg-b.
Still my RHR after a day at work & running yesterday was 39
First time in shorts tonight for a long time :-)
It felt good, my legs were ticking over nicely, all is looking good for Saturday :-)
WP, CPC = City Pier City, 1/2in The Hague, as you can imagine it's very flat!
If the wind holds off I'm going to run fast.
That's if I get a number sent through!
Still, I'm not deferring as FLM is my first ever marathon. I'll run it as a lowHR run - care to join me? At least the pressure is off ;-)
If I had ran FLM before then I'd probably defer.
Just my tuppence worth.
What: 3.9miles in 26mins
Why: 'Fast'(!) run in prep for sub 1h24 1/2 on Sunday.
Pleasant run, bumped into a club-mate after 1 mile and ran next mile together chatting before going our seperate ways.
Enjoy your training/resting tomorrow all
Andy
