Wednesday 27th February 2019 - Breaking in a sweat
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Breaking in a sweat
Which watch did you buy yourself Alex?
Chilly start here again but due to warm up. The forecast is good for the next couple of days but pants for the weekend.
What: MLR
Why: 61 days
Last hard: feeling as though I'm where I need/want to be
Last rest: 27/1

Lyrics: no
What: short and easy
Why: still not well. Looking like another cut back week...and may have to go back to GP if no improvement by Friday.
Off to work: extra day this week.
Need to keep reminding ourselves it is winter!
I got the Vivoactive 3 music LMH. It's so light compared to my 910XT! Been having a play around with the features on it. It has an interesting analysis of my sleep too. Practically no deep sleep last night...must try to rectify that! It was nice to go for a run yesterday with some music on without a phone bouncing around in my pocket and without wired headphones. Carrying the phone for music isn't that much of an issue this time of year when I'm wearing a jacket but is a pain when it warms up. Enjoy your MLR!
Sorry to see it's still lingering on Ale. Hope it goes away!
Today will be a harder day potentially. Football moved to today due to court availability and then Taekwon-Do in the evening. Hopefully TKD won't be too energetic and I can manage the football effort a little. Tomorrow may be a slow recovery run or rest!
What: See above - double trouble!
Why: Good question!
Last hard: Could be today
Last rest: Mon
Lyrics: No, not today
Go well everyone!
Alex - you lost me at running with headphones, oh and running with a phone!
Ale - you rest up and take things easy.
LmH - it's been frosty here when I leave the house but 90 minutes later , it's stunning!
What - easy run lunchtime, club AGM tonight
Why - wooden legs, admin
last rest - 4-5 weeks
last hard - last night: 6x800s with 400 recovery. Never quite sure if I'd hit pace or not, needn't have worried: 3.03 / 3.04 / 3.07 / 3.05 / 3.09 / 3.02. Mangled.
Not good that it's lingering Alehouse. No reminders of the time of year needed here - I'm walking Grace in frost and fog most mornings including today. Just defrosting and hoping it warms up a bit before I head out for my run.
I won an iPod at Nike supersonic in 2007. I'm a take it or leave it music person but phones and running are beyond me.
What: 60 mins watt bike d&d mtb ride
PM
Why: moved run day
Last hard : a little today
Last rest: 31st October
Lyrics: no
Sorry been AWOL but been away and wifi was patchy at best but had a lovely hilly runs at Llandudno!! I also ran part of the big Orme which made my asthma play up only 1.5 miles up and back and 155m elevation :-)I also have been walking lots of miles in the day;-) strangely my hilly route this morning seemed less hilly;-)
What: 7.50 miles
Why: Back home so usual distance
Last hard: Achilles playing up/eating at hotel
Last rest Yesterday travelling home
Lyrics: Nope
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I'm also watching the forecast for the weekend LMH as I have a race - do you have one also? Likely to be wet here but not too cold. I'm more concerned that it might turn windy!
Not such good news Ale. Agree on winter - as nice as it is with the Spring conditions - could turn nasty yet.
Nice reps Dustin.
Enjoy the mtb this afternoon Gobi.
I didn't go to the pub in the end as I was too tired and hungry - would have been past 9pm by the time I had got home, showered and back to the pub and had food in front of me.
LOL to the phone and music comments: my phone does occasionally accompany me but that is if I need navigation, potentially a pickup or depending on my route as a safety backup. I don't like listening to music when running personally but must have it on public transport.
What: a few sensible miles at lunch
Why: squeezing them in on Wednesday
Last hard: -
Last rest: 24.02
Lyrics: No
No race for me Hazel just not looking forward to a return to 'weather' - it was this time last year we had the first lot of snow that made things difficult. Just wind forecast currently though. Is it a half you have this weekend?
You sound pleased to be home Poppy.
I don't know anyone that does Alex! Though there are a few who think that their legs won't work without their earphones in
Whilst still a bit frosty and chilly when I set off for my run it turned into another lovely morning so I couldn't resist making the most of it - one of the reasons I'd be rubbish with a schedule!
Alex: Sounds like a fun piece of kit. Enjoy.
I never use headphones when running outside but would absolutely die if I had to do without my own music on the treadmill. The stuff that's played at the gym is really not my taste. And I reckon the pink lycra brigade would say the same about my playlist
And I agree with Hazel - public transport without headphones is a no-no. I like being in my own bubble.
Good to see you back, Poppy.
Nice intervals, Dustin.
Sorry to hear you are still under the weather, ale.
LMH: nice impromptu long run. I do remember the rubbish weather last year. I have a pic on my phone taken on February 28 and it was -14 degrees!!
What: nearly 12 miles with 40mins at LT effort in there
Why: schedule and a beautiful morning albeit a bit chilly so breathing wasn't easy and I had to run to effort, not pace
Last hard: getting my legs to turn faster today - they were having none of it
Last rest: 23/1
Lyrics: no
Here we go:
It is "just" a 10k LMH. Will be hard enough as it is more or less the shortest distance on the flat I race and I find the pace pretty painful. I prefer a slower pace for longer (10 miles to mara).
If you can cope with the mileage then make the most of the weather whilst it lasts.
I'm hoping we don't get a repeat this year chicksta but fear some bad weather is still to come.
Sounds scenic WP! Good to see you back.
LMH - you said people get injured playing football and that's exactly what's happened. Hamstring strain sprinting after a ball...right at the end too so was properly warm. Was hoping it was really bad cramp but the soreness now is telling me it wasn't. It's only minor though. Few days rest and we will see where we end up with some gentle stretching. Bit annoying but these things happen!
Careful alex!
Chick: is it the 28th today? Or is your photo tomorrow's forecast?
Re music, my watch stores 500 tunes and no doubt my phone stores more. Total amount on the two devices: zero! Have never run with music or podasts or whatever and don't suppose I ever will!
Run was rubbish for the second day in a row: if not feeling better by Friday it is definitely the GP again.
Sorry been AWOL. Don't really know where the week's gone
What: 3 km run walk plus physio
Why: had to get to dentist and thought it was time to get ankle seen to
Last hard: hearing I've torn 2 ligaments. Told to keep up my run walking and given some proprioception exercises to do
Lyrics: nope
Oh no alex be careful!
Ale can't believe you're still ill, please take it easy
WP sounds like a good trip
Have a lovely evening
