Wednesday 27th March I went out for a ride and I never went back Like a river that don't know where

in Training
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going
Late start this morning.
Grey morning again here.
Walk shortly

Sorry.
Thanks for the lyrics OH. Not that I know them. Enjoy your walk even if the weather is dull.
Like the idea of getting faster emzap. I would like to do that too. I won't get back to the glory days of 2018/2019 but better than now would be nice! But as you say - without getting injured.
Some sort of treatment on the horizon then Ale. And the physio might give you something more to do tomorrow maybe.
Holiday then speed sounds like a plan chicksta.
Bit over 5 a day to go Wabo - or a marathon on Sunday?
Found 2 co-runners yesterday - we will be back to the standard time and route likely next week so maybe a couple more will be willing - also due to more daylight. I will miss the route finding expeditions. Yesterday's went off track up an around 1:3 woodland slope - no chance of running that so we marched.
What: hometrainer, mat
Why: running rest day
Last rest: 27.03.24
Last hard: sleeping - my left knee hurt all night - no idea what that was about - it is ok today but the right one is grumbling instead!
Lyrics: no
Lyrics - again no idea!
Enjoy the walk OH , and Els, No, I'm not doing London.
I coach the marathon group and usually do a spring marathon but not been caught up this year (so far...).
I will amble round our club's marathon in June though (trail).
Wabo - be careful not to over do it mileage chasing. I'll be joining you in the extra days off soon I hope...
Hazel - glad you found company. Yep, daylight for training next week for us too! Hope the knees perk up...
Ale - fingers crossed the jabs prove helpful
What - easy lunchtime miles
Why - Recovery
Last Rest - 21/09
Last Hard - Yesterday. 5x1200s (400) in torrential rain (why does it always rain on Tuesdays?)
Tough session, but managed to grind it out. Not exactly bouncing but pretty consistent (5.20s, so around 4.25-4.30 min ks) Just shy of 9 miles all in.
Lyrics: no
Yesterday's were On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at, which is the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire.
What: some gentle cross training in the garden plus gentle stretching later.
Why: being careful
I think that you are correct about Tuesdays and rain, Dustin! Eldest used to play cricket on a Tuesday; two seasons in a row were almost washed out but on any other day some sort of game would have been possible.
Well today I've erred on the side of caution, only did a mile. I'm not terrible but I'm not great either. So I'll do 100 or I won't. I'm coughing like ive got a chest infection so I
need to be careful
Ale joining in with careful
Dustin enjoy the easy
Hazel I definitely won't do a marathon on Sunday 😂
What bit of walking and just over a mile running
Why not 100%
Last hard today
Last rest 28 12 22
I don't even know what language that is, Ale
Sorry you got wet, Dustin. Those reps are tasty though!
Hazel: sorry to read about your grumpy knee. Hope it settles.
No idea re. lyrics today, OH.
Managed to slog out 10k but I had absolutely zero energy. It felt horrid. I then went to the gym and did half an hour of weights which felt fine. So beats me why my legs wouldn't cooperate. Anyway, chalked it off as a seriously rubbish run and hope for a better one tomorrow.
Wabo take care don't take chances.
What 2.6 miles run walk
Why zombified after 2 night shifts
Last hard today
Lyrics no idea
Chicksta non related But do you read books?
Lyrics - I think so, especially after your second post OH.
Didn't run Monday or Tuesday - combination of being too tired and running out of time.
Got out today for the big one though. 21 miles with 4x 3 miles at marathon pace. I keep revising my MP down, now I'm aiming for 3:30 so MP today was just under 8 mins/mile. Got soaked and caught in a hail storm in the first few miles and had to go through 3 flooded sections of road which didn't help things. Tough for the last MP section and my hamstring started niggling again, despite sports massage yesterday, but I needed the long run done so I just gritted the teeth and kept going. Glad it's over though. It's taken me to 253k for the month, though only a few days left so I'm not sure I'll make 300.
Hope it's just something minor with the knees Hazel and it's gone tomorrow
Let me know where you're going to be at the London marathon Dustin - I'll try and give you a wave
Pammie - I know the feeling, those nights at the weekend left me feeling rotten
Chick - maybe just one of those days
Wabo - get well soon. We're getting pretty busy with everyone coughing so much these days, not helped by the fact there's a bit of a whooping cough surge in the middle of a range of viruses.
Ale - hope the injections help. Let us know if they do - I considered started doing then a while ago but never got round to it
In work until 9pm this evening, looking forward to food then bed
