Just finished reading the last of yesterday's posts as I had to go to bed early last night-so tired! Well done everyone who raced or trained hard yesterday. It always amazes me the amount of effort and training that goes on amongst us!
Beautiful day here too, but unforunately stuck indoors most of it.:o(
what:10 miles easy
why:only chance to see if I'm able to still do Plymouth 1/2 on Sunday. I need to do this for confidence. I know I've lost a bit of speed, but hopefully not too much.
last hard:at last I can post-YESTERDAY
last rest:Sat
Happy Monday all!:o)
What: rest
Why: Woke up in an advanced state of DOMS. Can now walk reasonably well but unfortunately will be spending most of the day sitting down listening to pharmocology lectures. Think I might need my zimmer frame to get home!
Hilly, glad to hear you sounding happier, hope the run goes well.
Back from the Big Apple. A fun trip, but glad to be home.
Got to run with my old running buddy, which was a highlight. She lives in New Hope, a gorgeous, leafy area in Pennsylvania. Lots of wild life to run with (or away from in the case of particularly mad geese!)
Didn't run in New York city as planned. Just found it way too dirty, polluted and crowded. Had a really good time there enjoying the many other things the city has to offer, but as a runner, would hate to live there. Went for some very long walks in Central Park, which was gorgeous and probably a good place for running, but you would have to have buckets of money to live anywhere nearby!
What: today just some yoga and cycling
Why: recovering from jetlag
Last hard: On holiday, are you kidding?
Looking forward to catching up on yesterdays thread, sounds like some serious effort put in by people.
Enjoy the sunshine everyone.
What: Getting there...
Why: recovering alcoholic.. nope wrong forum, recovering from tendonitis
Last hard: am 6 mile ride to gym 2500 row
Last rest: saturday
Oh how i cant wait to run again....
Just caught up with the tail end of yesterday's thread as I didn't get online last night. Unfortunately no time to congratulate everyone individually (cos I'm at work!) but well done to all round- must've been one of the busiest days on the thread for some time! Some excellent performances going on
Had a great run yesterday evening covering 13 miles in 1:35 and building speed as I went. Started at 7:30/m miling and managed the last 3 miles in 6:45/m. Training for the New Forest marathon starts in 2 weeks but this bodes well for when I start
What: 6 miles later
Why: keep the legs ticking over
Last hard: Sat
Last rest: 3 days
Have a good day in the sunshine!
What: Not much over the weekend, out on the bike (yesterday's ride curtailed when the chain broke), yesterday some core stability work on the Swiss ball plus 3 x 30 lunges, 3 x 30 squats, 30 press ups.
Why: Calf needs at least another week to recover - work on core strength and stability in meantime.
Last run: 8 days.
Nex run: 13 days.
Have a good running week.
What: 6m easy
Why: seems to be fashionable today
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: 9 days
I'm off on a research trip to North Wales today, so I won't be online again til the weekend. Have a great week everyone, and run well.
Great triing yesterday, great reading.
Enjoy the day all.
What: nothing
Why: Great schedule....it starts with a rest day! Might trot out for gentle jog later this evening though.
Last hard: can't remember
Last rest: yesterday.
Hope today brings good things to you all.
Haven't read yesterday's thread yet, will do so later.
A nice easy 4 or 5 miles for me today. Rest yesterday - not much of one though, spent the day in Brighton with SooBDoo, shopping, and some of you have seen how that woman can shop!!!
Thanks!
Feeling suprisingly fresh after yesterdays very hilly 14k race. Sunburn has died down too.
What: 1km swim (first swim since FLM) done. 1 hour steady club run pm if this cold doesn't develop anymore.
Why: Need to start building mileage up again.
Last hard: yesterday
Last Rest: Saturday.
trunce race 3
4.2m over x country
including 3xriver crossing
well done all racers
some good reports goin out
no problems at all after yesterday - not even stiff! i find it amazing that tri simply doesn't leave me with the same soreness or stiffness as the equivalent length run would!
training starts today for milton keynes tri - my first olympic distance and open water tri!
so from now on training will look like...
mon: swim - mostly endurance work but will depend on what the club coaches have set
tues: run - tempo or intervals
weds: cycle - building distance up starting at about 15 miles
thurs: swim - drills
fri: run - easy
sat: rest?
sun: long run or race
once i get a wetsuit i'll start open water swim practice on saturdays and probably drop the monday swim. i also need to fit another cycle in there but i'm not quite sure where to do that yet.....
i'm cutting down the amount of running drastically but hoping the cycling and swimming will help with that too.
so today....
what: 2800m swim with tri club tonight. includes some distance swims decreasing from 800m down to 100m and some 1 length sprints.
why: because thats what the coaches have set
last hard: yesterday :-)
last rest: saturday
i feel like i've been really lazy the last few weeks so its time to get my act together again!
Ive contributed to this thread only sporadically in the past, but Ive decided to get my act together and start getting on here more regularly in the future.
In common with most other folks its a nice, easy day for me to start the week. Just a short 20min run to work and the same home this evening.
I see the Italians and the French have chosen their marathon teams for Athens.
For the Italians its Stefano Baldini Daniele Caimmi and Alberigo Di Crecco in the mens. The womens team is Ornella Ferrara Bruna Genovese and Rosario Console.
For France. Driss El Himer El Hasssan Lahsinni and Benoit Zwierzcherski in the mens and Hafida Gadi-Richaud Rikiya Quetier-Maraoui and Cirinne Raux in the womens.
Happy runnnings everyone!
You know when after a while the training starts to come together and you turn away from home to just put a few more miles in because nothing really hurts or aches at all...I ran for two hours and twenty minutes yesterday - which for me is really an achievement. I've no idea how *far* it was at all though....
Sometimes it's possible to amaze yourself when all of a sudden training suddenly appears to pay off!
So...
What - Light weights/rest day.
Why - Resting from Sunday epic 2:20
Last hard - Yesterday.
Last rest - Wednesday.
what: rest from running. Gym later.
Happy running!
What: 6 miles recovery
Why: legs screaming blue murder at me and very sore
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest day: 29 days
Tim - race apparently starts at 3pm on Sunday which is not ideal. Will hold back my Sat run then to do gentle 5 or 6 miler Sat pm once you are here. But still not 100% certain I will run as it may still just be Mary with me babysitting!
Simon
What: nothing for me today
Why: Monday
Last hard: a while ago, as I didn't feel well last week
Last rest: Friday
Some good stuff from the weekend. Well done to all who raced etc.. Makes good reading.
Oh what a *beautiful* day - first sunny day here in about four weeks.
So... got up early and did 20 miles on the bike, a real lactic acid ride!
Yes, I know I have a dodgy ankle, but the weather was just so beautiful.
ACtually, ankle does not hurt when cycling, only when up and out of the saddle, so hills were a bit slower, but everything else was good.
Got into somthing of an altercation with a lorry, which pulled out on me, too late for me to brake, so had to swerve to the other side of the road to miss him, ended up perilously close to a ditch.
Adreneline surging, I caught up with the lorry driver, pulled alongside his vehicle, and hurled large amounts of abuse in a variety of languages in through the open window of his cab. He was on the phone. So possibly hadn't seen me when he pulled out. But that is no excuse.
I think he was a little surprised to be doing 45kmh and having a bike matching his speed. Which then pulled in front of him. When he finally overtook me it was so funny to watch him then overtake MrB on his bike - I have never seen a driver give a cyclist so much room!
HAve a great day all - the weekend's posts made for some fab reading.
7 miles yesterday in 80mins 30secs, 3 mins faster than same route last weekend, so really pleased. If my maths is right, that's 11.5-min miles which, for me, is a real improvement over the last 4 months.
Rest day today.
Hmm Barnsley, There are two regular dewsbury posters, myself andYorkshire Running Man, plus Claire Shaw who posts occasionally and Bernard who posts when there is our 10k race stuff to discuss, I bet Serpentine have the most though.
What- cycle to and from work, really want to get some more training in tonight but have some work to do.
<sorry...>
What: gym session done, easy 10 later.
Why: strength building
Last hard: 30.11.03
Last rest: 37 days
Have a good one
What: At home in the garden sunbathing - easy hour later
Why: The weather's lovely!
Last hard: Yesterday
Last rest: 3 weeks
