Sat - fell race including 1000 ft climb
Sun - 5 miles easy
Mon - hilly xc club run - felt kn*ckered !
Tues - 5 miles easy - even more tired
Wed - exhausted - rested
Thurs - still v. tired - fed up - rested
Fri - did miraculous 9 mile run at better than my halfmarathon pb pace, feeling totally refreshed and comfortable.
If I do nothing silly between now and next Sunday, this looks quite hopeful for Blackpool Half.
What: Long easy, 15 miles plus
Why: Base and milage building
Last hard: Thursday
Last rest: Yesterday
....At least its stopped rainng, pertty windy though
Run well racers and train well runners.
Good luck all racers this weekend
9 mile run going to and coming from an appointment I have, it involves doing something I have always wanted to do but can't!!!!
Train well out there today but be careful!!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
What: am 4 x 3k @ 170-175 HR / pm 4 miles
Why: to improve speed endurance / to recover and flush out legs, annoy Treadmill and bring up 100 miles for the week:)
Last hard: Weds
Last rest: 28 days
Good luck those doing long runs!
Lynne-you'll get that pb!
WP-is that a cryptic message there?
BR-windy? Not here in the sunny South!:O)
What:15 miles cycle
why:don't want to push my luck with my injury. I've done 3 days of running in a row, so decided today to rest from running as I'm going to do a long one tomorrow.
Not sure how far yet, it'll be a see how I go job. Leg can cope quite well with a easy/steady pace so just need to be sensible and not get over enthusiastic!
last hard:Wednesday
last rest:not sure when I had a full day off from doing no exercise, but from running it was Tuesday.
10k offroader tonight
Why: a nice Saturday run
Last hard: not really hard (thursday) but nettles all over the place and a sleepless night
Last rest: yesterday
I'm going in longs today, after learning my lesson following Thursday's run. Just a nice 6 ish miles run this afernoon. Yes, I got some calamine lotion, so I feel better now!
It's definitely windy up here!
What: 40 min offroad ramble
Why: shake off the heaviness in arms and legs post BMF, job done. Now thoroughly nettled and glowing.
Good luck WP!!
Lynne, good luck for next week, you look set to improve your PB yet again.
Hippo is that a race this evening? Good luck if it is.
Hilly, glad the leg seems to be improving.
Best wishes to all those racing!
Only hangover from my heatstroke incident on Tuesday is that ny legs feel like they did a 20 mile race, not 10K! Gradually improving though so plan a long'un tomorrow.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Still now fresh enough to go for a run later - 5 or 6 steady with maybe one mile at 5k pace thrown in.
My deferred entry form for FLM came this morning - one day after the deadline for return - it is postmarked 25th May. Nothing is ever simple is it.
Popsider - do the FLM people use the same distributors as the RW mag?
Life has been getting in the way. Not that that's a bad thing. But I haven't run since Tuesday (gasp!).
TODAY I shall do that sprint intervals thing I've been threatening, and tomorrow I'll go for a (comparatively) long-ish easy-ish one. If I don't, please give me a collective chinese burn.
Best of luck to all the racers this weekend.
Have fun.
So I jogged around the park as a warm up until I found 3 suitable foorball pitches side by side for my reps - each set took about 11:30, which would be the same time as a 3k @ 170 HR
It went...

2:16 (167)
2:18 (169)

2:17 (170)
2:18 (173)
2:19 (174)
2:18 (173)
Pretty pleased with the evenish pacing on a field. The HR drifted at the end mainly due to dehydration, but the important thing is I did the work.
And my lucky kids are going to the park this pm (as Daddy takes the club coaches' measuring wheel to see how far it was:)
Mixture of success and failure yesterday. Intended 8-mile route turned out to be 9 when I measured it in car. Managed to get round the whole thing BUT had to take two lengthy walk breaks (about half a mile each). So, I guess it was technically an 8-mile run, which is my longest yet!! Am pleased in spite of the walking.
Rest today, 3-4 miles tomorrow.
What: 27 mins off-road
Why: See below.
Last hard: TODAY!
Last rest: 1 week ago.
Have been getting back into running for seven days nows - most of it on the tready. Today at Trent Park Pantman convinces me to run an easy 30mins while the kids' have their training session. At the end, I was panting and he was still full of energy ;-)
Worst of all I wore my adidas "block-a-boot" trainers which resemble Asic Kayanos - ie impossible to run mid-foot. Still, legs felt fine, ending HR was 120-ish (ie LT-40 ish). Lower back was sore but I feel pretty good right now. Man, I'm sooo unfit!!
BR: Excellent session!
Next week's plan is: AM runs on the tready. PM/Eve runs outside.
Good luck tonight Hippo
Onwards and upwards nrg-b Well done.
however, as it will all be over by wednesay, will now be doing both religiously. . . (oh, and actually doing the training as well!)
What: 1/2 mile open water swim; resistance weights session to be done pm
Why: club / strength
Last hard: Thurs
Last rest: yesterday
those runs are getting longer, Jill - well done!
14 mile run done, furthest I've run since FLM. MrB dropped me off around 10 miles from home so that I could run a footpath along a river that I've never run before - it was lovely, but was mobbed by birds all the way - wish I could tell them that I wasn't interested in their nests! Then went up into the hills above town to make up the 14 miles. A lovely run, took it steady and just admired the views.
Currently sitting here dressed up to the nines, waiting for a lift as I am playing expat executive wife this afternoon and hobnobbing with the great and good from the British Embassy :-)
WP - the mind boggles - leg waxing???
Just to tease I have a big graze cut on my elbow just as it had healed after FLM!!!!!
Thanks Barbara but a lot harder especially when only 2 people arrived to train 30 people!!!
Miles makes smiles.

Well done BR, very good pacing!
Keep at it nrg-b, it'll soon come back!
Enjoy Lizzy!
Good luck tonight Hippo!
Swerve-best keep fit if there's a lady involved!:o)
Did my bike ride at a nice leisurely pace today, enjoying the countryside views. Off to watch Harry Potter tonight-a bit different to your evening Lizzy!
It's all gone quiet on here since FLM hasn't it?
I was thinking that myself but the die hard runners won't give up and we all have races to train for;-)
Sounds good to me...you need a GPS system so you can know what the distance is when you are running your routes;-)
Hilly-Lips are sealed will reveal all when I can do it!!!
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Session done and enjoyed. 40 mins of intervals, more endurance than sprint though. Feeling very lucky today after Fat Face's dreadful news.
72.10

Miles makes smiles.
