Quiet round here this morning.......
What: The Figsbury Challenge- a low key 5K off road event at a local school.
Why: it's too close to miss!
Last hard: Weds
Last rest: yesterday (unplanned)
I'll probably run home after the race to boost up my mileage seeing as yesterday's run was skipped- hoping to get another week in the mid-30's before moving back up to 6 runs/40+ miles next week
Have a good one!
What: 5 miles easy
Why: 22 miler tomorrow
Last Hard: 2 days
Last Rest: Yesterday
Eagerly await the weekend race reports...looks like a big, big weekend at Bath, Ackworth, Wilmslow, Coniston & Rhayader...a 'Scintillating Sunday' is a distinct possibility...do your best everyone!!!
----
What: running at 10am with someone, 5M steady
Why: recovery and 'nice to be out' type of run
Last hard: dunno
Last rest: yesterday
I think a scenic trot is in order for today, steady and even paced, according to 70% of my HR. I love this sunshine!
Don't forget the race of the Chucky Egg 10k, near Barnsley on Sunday, JGRM, always a major feature of the running calendar!
Sunshine here in SE London - glorious morning for running!
What: 8 miles done
Why: Getting back fitness
Last Hard: Wednesday
Last Rest: Sunday
Have a good day
Race well this weekend folks!
----
not racing for the first time in 3 weeks
On call
5.4 miles d and d
what:5 miles easy
why:easy day, but also my back and calves wouldn't let me go any faster!
last hard:Tues
last rest:yesterday
Happy running/racing all!
90 Mins, according to my (RW!) marathon schedule, this IS a taper! I have switched the long run from Sun to Sat because I am flying to Washington tomorrow, but the RW schedule has speedwork even in the final week (albeit not very much), 17 for the long run this week and 10 on Easter Sunday. Can't believe it is only 2 weeks tomorrow until the marathon! Bats in stomach... It is kind of tapering though - I did 45 miles last week and this week is 'only' 40..., and it drops off next week again. I don't know enough yet to divert too much from the schedule and do my own thing. Will buy the new RW book and learn more!
So, for me today: 17 miles easy
Why: schedule and last longish run before marathon
Last hard: weds
Last rest: thurs
Happy running all.
hilly i hope you'll be ok for tomorrow but be sensible if not. i've just started taking the spatone you recommended as i still feel a bit sluggish after the flu, how long do you reckon it takes to kick in?
red haired girl i will look out for you tomorrow. yesterday they seemed to have filled the carpark with portaloos. we may not be able to park but at least we won't have to look for bushes.
good luck to racers everywhere this weekend and well wishers to benchers.
what - rest
why - race tomorrow and fizz says so
last rest - yesterday
last hard - tuesday
haven't decided what I'm doing yet today - most likely short'n'brisk
What - 6.5 miles easy on my own
Why - hard run tomorrow (and Saturday running partner has blown me out to run 5 miles with `someone'):)
Last hard - Wednesday
Last rest - 149 days
Foggy here in Bedfordshire too. Hope it clears up soon.
What: 5 miles very easy
Why: Oakley 20 tomorrow
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: Sunday
Was stretching after my run last night and noticed what looked like water marks on the front of the TV. Strange, I thought, then looked up. Bugger. Water had been leaking from our en suite, and clearly gathered above the lounge ceiling, and then dripped onto the TV below (and spread for about a metre further). Thankfully not much water came through (or it could have been very nasty), but there's a fair amount of damage :-(
The good news is that the 2 year warranty on our new build house has TWO DAYS left to run - so we rang up the emergency number and a plumber is due any time now. If this had happened two days later it could have been very expensive...
Good luck those racing
What: 6 miles easy
Why: Building the miles
Last Hard: Last Sundays race
Last Rest: Last night
off in a mo
Short run today, about 4miles, before tomorrows Ackworth 1/2 marathon.
Good luck to everyone else planning a race tomorrow, and heal quickly all those on the injury bench.
Still unsure what to do. Sore throat and ear ache but no fever or headache. I could wake up tomorrow feeling fine, but if I don't travel then still will be unable to race. Tickets paid for so no cost implications, it's just so annoying.
Had a cold bath, taken voltrol and rubbed in Wood Lock, so fingers crossed it'll ease off as the day progresses!
Just got back from my five easy miles which turned into six brisk miles. Sun is shining, birds are singing and flowers are bloooming...and you can wear shorts and T-shirt!!!
----
hilly - i'm on the first few days so hope to be bouncing along quite soon then;)
mikeB hope you feel ok tomorrow
Lovely day today. First time i've run in shorts this year.
Ran without any strapping and my knee and ITB was fine. My knee feels very happy sorting itself out running without being inhibited by strapping. So all in all i'm hesitantly relieved and happy ... whilst not wanting to be too happy as injury is only ever one run away! ;-)
What? 5 miles, long slow distance for me.
Why? weekly scheduled long run, for base endurance.
Last hard? 1 week
Last rest? 2 days ago
Have a lovely day all.
what - 4 miles easy done and dusted
why - I'm going to try running on concestutive days for the first time in 18 month, so tomorrow's run will be a bit longer.
Have a nice day now.
JD - Keep up the stretching. ITB is a nasty one, depending on the tighness it can travel up and down the thigh.
Skip the rugby *yawn*
76% mhr trying keep easy as poss but with the heat kept HR up.
But not complaining was a nice run.
Uncle sent me the local paper with the results from Sundays race i was 306th out of 343 official time 2:24:52
It is a lovely day today - I've been through a cross country trail, down by the River Wharfe, and it was great. Not in shorts, but will be tomorrow!
Speaking of tomorrow - guarenteed PB - my first half marathon!!
what: 8 miles easy
why: keep mileage up - half mara isn't a full blown effort.
last rest: 6 days
last hard: 7 days
looking forward to some great race reports over the weekend - good luck!
and well reminded nrg-b, in thats my second reminder this morning, also got a letter from the blood donation people. Might as well donate considering the pathetically small amount of running I'm doing just now.
Also got appointment with podiatrist through today, faster than I expected, in fact the appointment is when I'll be away on holiday so I'll have to phone and rearrange that.
More stretching today, I think tomorrow I'll do a short gentle run just to see where my legs are really at now. Getting less twinges less often but I don't feel the problem has ever cleared up completely.
well done Pammie!
great picture btw Fat Face!
I feel a bit funny. I've come over all faint and light-headed. Not sure what it is...
Oh, I know what it is... it's Fat Face saying he's going to start RUNNING on consecutive days!!!
:-O
What: nowt
Why: bench
Last rest: yesterday
Last hard: Sunday 13th March (Liverpool Half Marathon-from-hell)
;o)

Last Rest: errrr.. 2 weeks!!

Have a good 'un
Nice warm and sunny day here in Kent once again!
What:
am: 6-mile comfy, moving along well today,enjoyed the early morning warmth!
pm: Hill session 10-12 reps of a 300m steep incline, jog back recovery. I will see how this goes could be open to modification!
Why:
Scheduled hard day today, focus on anaerobic strength. Fast pace aerobic work.
Looking forward to the world XC this afternoon, hope my club mate MISS DALE does the girls proud!
well, I managed my 17 (distance guestimated by speed and time). Think body is not ready for 9 one day and 17 the next - must plan how to switch training about better next time! Legs were lead-like for the first couple of miles (although think that was partly due to full camelbak...made me realise what a difference losing a kilo or two would make
Welcome back from the bench, URR - keep it coming! I am off to the pub now, sadly to work, but will probably watch the rugby too. Enjoy the sun too - I am wearing flipflops!
how far can i run in 12 minutes? well the answer this time round (its one we repeat every couple of months) was 2550m :-) 60m further than last time!
last hard: well - not sure really. today was quite hard but short. yesterday's swim was long but not that fast. i don't know!
last rest: wednesday
