Rest Well those who are and a speedy recovery to those injured and ill!
I had my physio massage yesterday and the good news is that there is no tear in my calf, it was just mileage fatigue. So after a good battering they're now feeling good again. Physio actually said they were in quite good condition this time and she was pleased with them:o)
Annual club dinner last night. I picked up FV award and a fidelity prize for completing 8 club races. Food and wine were good too:o)
What:6 miles d&d and drinking lots of water to rehydrate after drinking a bit too much red wine (for me)last night.
why:easy day
last hard:Thursday
last rest:yesterday
Have a good day all!
Good luck to racers and long runners today.
what: 2 mile slow run.
why: just getting back into running
Last hard: Thursday
Last rest: Yesterday - much needed.
very enjoyable run. a little worried about niggles in my knees and achillies. will have to do some strengthening exercises for my achillies i think.
anyway, 2 mile run was no problem fitness wise, just a little worried about my legs/knees. will try a 3 mile plod tomorrow i think.
Why? Keep fresh for the long run
Last hard? Thursday
Last rest? 22 days ago
Had still a bit of pain around the foot and went with club around the Heath. While the others jumped in the 4C pond, I only put my foot in. Seems a bit better now, the cold pond must have some healing power
Hello,
What: 4 miles on treadmill.
Why: Ease back a little from yesterdays 6.5mile.
LastHard: Mar2004
LastRest: 18Jan05
A slight pain around/under/near the left knee cap whilst running. It did restrict me from lifting my left knee upwards. Stopped when I had finished. Now sitting here at my desk poking it does not bring on any pain. Would appreciate any comment.
LizzyB: Crikey, you do all that and then say you're not serious?? I reckon I need to re-examine my own motivations. :0)
What a memorable evening, Hilly.
Good luck to all racers.
nrg-b.
what : rest
why : have run 3 days on the bounce
last hard : friday
last rest : tues
feeling good. calf seems ok but a little tender after 3 days straight running but i know it's much better.
have a good weekend and good luck all racers particularly those doing Brass Monkey and Helsby halves
Looks like there's a few people going to Brass Monkey tomorrow, good luck to you all.
SiT- Have a good one this afternoon.
Hilly-well done on the award.Those club do's are always fun aren't they?
What- 9 miles steady off road.61 mins.
Why-This weeks been a bit of plod,so i wanted to squeeze a little more out today but also with a mind to tomorrows 18 miler.
Last Hard-1 day

Good luck to anyone else racing over the weekend,or attempting a long run like me,or just to everyone really!
Anders.
Congratulations Hilly - well deserved
Good luck to all the weekend racers

Why: racing tomorrow - Folksworth 15
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Rest: 63 days
Currently suffering from cumulative mileage fatigue and very tight hamstrings from the strides I've been doing. Looks like tomorrow could be a bit of a shuffle.
hill session proved that i'm still not as well as i thought. was supposed to do 4 lots of 3 hill reps but i was struggling to breathe by the end of the warm up so restricted it to 2 lots of 3 reps with a big long rest int he middle! feeling a bit down about the whole thing now though :-(
congrats on your awards hilly! good news on your calf too - you must be very relieved.
no ideas to help i'm afraid nrg-b - but keeping fingers crossed for you that its nothing serious.
good luck to anyone racing tomorrow and to all those running long. if the weather stays fine we're supposed to be doing a bike TT but I suspect that the conditions are likely to be a bit too icy for that so maybe a turbo/run brick session instead.
Nice day for running outside though a little on the chilly side!
What:
AM: 6-mile comfy pace, was a bit hesitant of ice, but once I got going, legs felt good and pace was good also.
PM: Hill session 10-12reps of 250-300m steep incline.
I will try this and see how I feel, on for 85miles at least this week, so miles miles and miles!
Why:
Scheduled high intensity day today, focus on Aniaerobic Strengh and Endurance.
Good luck to everybody racing either today or tomorrow and congratulations Hilly on your award, sounds well deserved to me!
feel great and really want to run today but I'm going to be disciplined and stick to this weeks schedule (not yet doing consecutive days after my previous problems, next weekend for that) so no running today and probably a 5 miler tomorrow.
what: stretching
why: ongoing attempt to loosen my legs
last hard: why do I even answer this?
last rest: never more than 2 days ago just now!
"Treadmill" - I'm intrigued and also a little confused by your suggestion, I'm happy to have any wellwishers or admirers but with the wedding being in Peru I think so far only my parents are definitely going with possibly 3 or 4 others. I can't imagine a crowd of RW forumites also there though I wouldn't say no.
What: 14 miles very, very, very slowly
Why: Trying to go as slowly as HRM thinks I should - maybe I should have run backwards
Last hard: Today
Last rest: Last Sunday
Good luck to Helsby/BM & all other racers this weekend!
Beanz - take care if you do race!
Hilly - club dinners and awards?! I think I might join a club after all, sounds fab!
35 miles this week and still have tomorrow if I want to try and make it up to 40. Quite tempting.......
Don't be too down M. I was ill before Xmas and it took ages to be able to exercise at the same intensity. It will come back soon.
Hilly, well done on the award.
Well, I was meant to be doing Folksworth tomorrow, but bearing in mind I am snowed under with work and uni assignements, and the fact I am much to unfit to race at the moment, I have decided to give it a miss.
Good luck to those of you that are doing it, and any other races this weekend.
What: gentle 18 mile MTB ride (very enjoyable)
Why: just because
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: 8 days
Have a fun weekend.
M. sorry you still felt unwell when training today. Take it easy, you're body obviously isn't 100% just yet!
AM-you're right that club dinners are a good evening out. I got called motormouth when presented with my prize, which I'm not sure was very flattering, but it was meant in good humour as I constantly chat on training runs:o)
Jen, joining a club in well worth the effort for many reasons-you get meet lots of people who love to do what you do, shared training/racing experiences, some clubs have coaches, dinners and awards....:o)
Afternoon
What: 4m easy later
Why: ½ marathon training.
Last rest: yesterday
Last hard: Thursday
Good Luck for everyone racing today.
Julz -- The wedding. I'm planning a round the world trip and part of that will hopefully involve South America - so errr, don't count upon no RW forumites being there for your pi$$ up!
;o)
