800m equals 0.5 mile
1200m is equal to 0.75 miles
I do speed work but not on the track. I dont think the distance matters that much as long as it is roughly the distance you want, just make sure you use the same routes now and again so that you can check your rep times against previous sessions. You could try using lamp posts as markers or go to the park and use trees or park benches.
Mum on the Run - I do live in Argyll actually !
Off to Scotstoun this afternoon to watch the athletics so hopefully that'll spur me on!
The athletics were good and it was nice to see Kelly one last time. Mind you it made my day when Jason Gardner stopped right in front of where I was sitting on their lap of honour!!
Better go phone up MacMillan Cancer Relief pronto, and start getting all my victims, err sorry, sponsors! lined up.
Training is going champion at the moment BUT IVE GOT THE blackpool half marathon in 2 weeks,the mansfield half marathon on the 3rd july before the GSR!!! Nee Bother!!!!
I am doing these runs for Breast Cancer Campaign.
My friend is trying to persuade me to run the Amsterdam marathon with her. It's on the 16th October. Is there really enough time to train for it?
Am going to take the rest of the week to think about it! Just need to decide whether I have the motivation to run for 4.5 hours!
I'm doing the Loch Ness Marathon on 2nd October which is my first every marathon aswell! I've just recently started building up the mileage, but hopefully all the extra training for the marathon will stand me in good stead for the GSR in September. I've been doing he Polaroid Series 10ks and have been getting increasingly better times with each one, (the last one was 50:35 - woopee!) although I'm determined to get under the 50mins by the end of the series.
Like you, I can't fit in anything more than 3-4 runs a week, but am keeping everything crossed that the long runs at the weekend will be enough to see my through.
Jaggyman - have you booked flights and accomodation for Amsterdam? I'd read on one of the forums about the race that there's a conference on that weekend in Amsterdam so rooms are a bit on the thin side.
I'm going out again tonight and I'll see how I feel after that. If I feel OK then I think I'll take the plunge and sign up.
Off out tomorrow for a 13miler as preparation for the Blackpool half next weekend.If the weather stays like this I,ll have problems!!Best to take it easy and run in the shade.
Enjoy your weekends and speak to you all soon.
Am relly feeling pretty down about running at the moment!!
The prospect of having the freedom of roads in East Kilbride is too good to miss!
anyhoo, still up for having a good run, and then after that its time to up the mileage for the GSR eek!
have entered now so no turning back, got £2 off entry at the edin marathin expo!
