FG-lol loved your report and great running on your part!
Monique-well done, you did brilliantly to claw back so many places-excellent 5k time! Mind I wouldn't mind your 10k time either!:o)
Great reports (and performances) from FG and Monique
What: Gym session done, Yateley 10k tonight (work permitting)
Why: first ‘race’ for 6 months! Time to test the calf / achilles to see how it responds. Will try to run it as a controlled / tempo effort – expect to clock about 45 minutes.
Have a good one
Why: It´s a mountain and there´s no snow for skiing
Congrats on teh new job, M.
Why - In Sheffield the next 2 days so it'll be running only for both of them - then I've got 100 mile audax in the Peak District on the Saturday. Cycling and running seem to be either/or at the moment - should really combine them a bit for duathlon training.
So it's just me that's running slower then!! I'll put it down to the break rather than the cycling in that case.
Good going Monique - the run and the bike don't look too out of balance to me but obviously they are given your relative position in each, are the results on the web anywhere to have a look ? What sort of average would you hope for that sort of distance - keep it above 20 or a bit more?
Thanks Speedie do you have to programme battery useage? I better read instructions;-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Monique, HOLY MACKEREL, great result overall and an astonishingly quick finishing 5k - awesome.
Monique, INSPIRING stuff!
What: rest day
Why: wed.
Last hard: yesterday
Today, a little cricket. Watching the knee closely.
Great stuff, Monique. Not to worry about the bike - it's a far inferior discipline to running. ;-)
Tim - no, looks like Amsterdam's out, unless I start feeling a bit less cautious. Might consider the half, but unlikely.
Have fun.

WELL DONE TO ALL RACERS OVER THE LAST 5 DAYS
Today’s lyrics are from “Running on empty” which clearly many of you aren’t.
Off for a session in the pool – good luck to those racing this evening.

nice race reporting FG and monique!
have been out enjoying my last day of freedom as my new employer has confirmed i am to start at 9am tomorrow - no more lie ins for me :-)
what: my first cycling TT with the tri club tonight. its 10.25 miles and i am sooooo nervous - just have visions of everyone being much much quicker than me. not that it matters much if they are i suppose! but anyway - the idea is to get a target time and then work over the summer to improve it.
why: i signed up for an olympic tri in a moment of madness - and now i'm having to learn to cycle properly.
last hard: monday
last rest: yesterday
I think that you might suprise yourself with your time - you´ve been improving a lot recently.
Just been down the pool to do two sets of 50/100/150/200 with 15 secs recovery and was so much faster than last week and broke my '100m pb' twice - I´m still slow, but the swimming is coming along really well
FG - great racing. love the quote
Monique - words simply cannot express
Well another 6 miles done and dusted very warm out. But i survived.
Lizzy well done too on your swim times!
Second session done today another 5 miles in the bank and happy with todays efforts - really going to focus on my diet now, feel thats my weak area!
Off shortly to see Day after tomorrow
enjoy ya evening all
Mileage building is going well at the moment.
Trying to stick to 3 units or less of alcohol every day (sob).
Let me know how everyone gets on though.
This evenings session was a short jog to the local park and 4 half mile reps. 1 and 3 are slightly uphill and 2 and 4 are slightly downhill. Its been a long time since I was in the habit of training twice a day so for now I'll hold the number of reps at that and look to increase them from next month.
Put in an entry for the Pudsey 10k on the 25th of July and I'll look throught the online entry races and see if I can find any more 5milers/10k's in July.
I saw a couple of my neighbours today, who live a bit further down the road
"Its nice too see you out waliking, it makes a change...
... you're always running"
Hee hee
i suppose i might as well!
Well done Monique and FG. Monique - where were you in Belgium?
What: 12 miles very gentle in 1 hour 40 with right calf quite sore
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest day: 38 days (BR - never mind Ron Hill - this is your territory!)
Simon
Great racing from FG and Monique, well done.
Swerve, that's real bad luck.
for me
12M done tonight in just over 7min miles.
Race well tonight racers!
Did the club 4.2 mile race tonight - was a bit disappointed with my time of 24:26 tonight which was 4 seconds slower than my pb for the course. I was going for a pb tonight, thats why it was a shame. Still , no harm done. Ate 1000000 flies and about the same in my eyes. Lovely.
we set off at 30second intervals - i was second off and went haring off trying to catch the girl in front of me. which i did. and was promptly caught by the lad behind me!
it was fun. not very hilly which was nice - although there were a couple of small hills it was nothing major. and i managed 34.54 (17.6mph) which was better than i expected - and i wasn't last either! it did hurt - but not massively and i think now i know what to expect that i'll be able to push myself harder next time. but great great fun.
:-)
Getting a bit fed up of just racing then recovery runs. Need some proper training. However, may need to a race a Northern T+F league on Sat then our Barnsley 5k on Sunday:(
Me, just 5.5 miles very gentle as part of a "taper" towards Fairford 10K on Sunday. I say taper, but it looks like I'll actually do 6 days on the trot which is more than I would normally do. From last Saturday, I've done: 1hr squash, 9.5 miles steady, 5.5 miles intervals, 5 miles steady, 5.5 miles easy. And I've got another squash match tomorrow.
Still, on the basis that I can then take Friday and Saturday off, I should be ok for Sunday. Looking forward to it.
so going to rest up till then
Well done to BR and Donaldo too!
Back from club run. Was invited to run with senior men again, this time made them promise not to leave me behind. They were either true to their word or I'm getting some speed back! Did about 5 miles of a mystery tour, good session.
