Monday 15th May 2017 - I guess I thought you'd be here forever
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - I guess I thought you'd be here forever
Well done Ms Alehouse. Usually swimmers are set off according to their predicted swim time Alehouse which means that the slowest swimmers go first but then have people around them on the bike and run and don't finish last because they swim slowly (if that makes sense).
I'm glad your weekend went well emzap.
Hope you feel less tired Dustin.
Rather than over analysing yesterday I needed to make a decision about Yeovil.
What: whatever I feel like
Why: it's supposed to be fun
Last hard: agonising over Yeovil
Last rest: 29/4

Lmh yes sounds sensible
What: running club
Why: it's Monday
Last hard: I feel this will be
Lyrics: nope
Have a great day all
Hope all goes well with the new job, OL!
Very wet here and looks as if it is here for the day: more rain today than in the previous six weeks! Hope OH has better weather for the Cape Wrath Challenge.
Not sure how the tri was organised yesterday, LMH: first waves were off from 8 am, daughter was 12, last ones were around 2:30 I believe. About 100 an hour.
What: probably half an hour easy
Why: thinking of a cut back week
Enjoy the track, Emz.
Lyrics: no
Morning
Ollie: Good luck on new job today:-)
OH: I hope the weather is kind to you
LMH: Enjoy your run and hope it was filled with lots of fun:-)
What: 6.77 miles
Why: building back up
Last hard: This morning tiredness and how slow the run was
Lyrics: Yes and I should have known yesterdays!
Last rest:28th April
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: a very wet 47 minutes. Wet from the skies and wet underfoot: Burnage parkrun very puddly, as is the track next to the tram.
Why: decided to make that the long run for the week and to have a cut back week. Have had four good weeks of training and the legs are feeling tired. In fact they were as tired at the end of that as when I run 70 minutes or more.
Also there is an outside chance that I will be called upon to run in the National Masters next Saturday. I'm hoping I don't make the team!
LmH - I think you said Yeovil involves travel and an overnight stay? If that's the case and you don't think it will be anything more than 'training' is it worth it? (Unless it as been prepaid and just run for fun!)
what - easy lunchtime (s)miles
why - Monday
last rest - yesterday!
last hard - Saturday
Poppy and Alehouse - hope you both feel less tired soon. I was surprisingly ok on this morning's run which sort of backs up my 'just couldn't get going' feeling about yesterday. Apart from a bit of niggling from the knees (which was nothing like as bad as physio thought it might be) my legs were fine.
LMH, why do we run? Yeovil just another sub three? There are otheres who would love that but if you are not going to enjoy and haven't pre-paid I think the question answers itself. We're not Olympians so it's not work and/or the meaning of life although it helps us to stay alive when it's not trying to kill us! You've had a tough year, make it easy on yourself.
parkrun 20.58 but v.tough for some reason then tkd refereeing Sunday so no run.
Lyrics: yes
What: Whatever I can muster from selves and colleagues
Why: Time presure and both wimping
Last Hard: Putting up with some of the commentary from ringside yesterday
Last Rest: Allegedly yesterday
Afternoon all. Been away for the weekend - it was a birthday present
. I think we all wished you'd had a storming run and posted on here that you were fully recovered. Seems like the body needs just a bit more time so I would just call Yeovil a day and focus on an autumn marathon. Give yourself a chance to heal properly first. At least you had a better run today 
LMH: So sorry to hear that the 10k didn't go to plan
Ale: Well done to your daughter on her frist tri.
OH: your comment about ear ache from drinking too much made me smile
Luckily I have no interest in this Eurovision sh*t ... given how crap the German songs are it's the only way
I hope not SC.
Better parkrun, SC! Your "young gazelle" sprang to mind a few minutes ago: spoke to daughter and she doesn't feel as if she did anything yesterday. Usually more tender after playing hockey. Neck a little uncomfortable and that's it. Obviously didn't try hard enough.
Have to disagree about the Masters' relays: did them last year and they took a lot out of me. Have said that I will run, but only as a last resort. I'm sure the club has 3 faster V55s. I am happy to leave them until I'm in the 65 category, which will some soon enough!
Any prize yesterday, LMH? And which age group?!
Els in 10 minutes ahead
Mostly dry with mostly tail wind.
last hard: the tarmac
last rest: yesterday
at pub quiz now!
10 km in total including 5x400 with 200 recovery, then 2x600 with 200 recovery. Was meant to be 6x400 but asthma got the better of me
Was very hard work but glad I did it.
Now to get ready for my trip to Brussels tomorrow (work)
Have a good evening all
Hope you are not too battered and bruised tomorrow, OH! Well done on the run, and Els!
also well dones to OH and Els
good session Emzap
new 16 week plan stated tonight for Sub 90 half.... two stabs at the cherry, Burnham beeches (13 weeks in and Swindon Half 16 weeks)
Club run, 6.1m in just over 50 mins
Take care
