what: PM. 6 miles recovery @ 6:55-6:44 pace
why: needed to de-stress after another blighted day (you know the feeling - why does work always get in the way?) and want to start getting the miles up again. also I'm going through an increasingly rare "good patch" and I'd better milk it while it lasts.
still feel mighty inadequate when there's folks out there doing speedwork on "hard- packed ice". now that is dedication - or total madness - or both. ;-)
What : 1.5 mile run on the tread mill , I did want to do a real run outside but after falling flat on my bum on ice rules it out.
Why : Same old story , I was at the gym , so was the tread mill ...one thing led to another
Still musnt grumble , more than happy with a 7.44 minute mile
What - nothing today
Why - too slippery outside, nearly broke my ankle going to post a letter in hiking boots earlier on today.....
Last rest - yesterday, same reason!
Last hard - Tuesday, speedwork (Ugh)
Tomorrow I'm hoping the ice may have melted a bit more so I can walk safely up to the heath where it's grassy and not so slippery, and do the 4 miles at marathon pace that the RW schedule demands of me....then it'll be rest on Saturday unless I'm feeling really energetic in which case I'll slip in a few extra miles slowly to make up for missing today and yesterday, then long run on Sunday!
why; Bad gut (well everyday it looks bad, but today it was misbehaving)
last rest: yesterday
Last hard: monday
why - 2nd day back from injury
would a thigh support help a hamstring injury ( it still feels as though its slightly niggling me)
any thoughts anybody.
Why: did a xc race yesterday and then consumed too much vino last night, so was feeling extra fragile today...
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Tuesday
Why: An effort to keep up with my 1/2m schedule (ruined by weather and lack of time)
Last Hard: Tuesday
Last Rest: Yesterday (Is building a snowman considered cross training?)
What: 8.4 miles @ marathon pace
Why: had planned to do 14 miles but felt right knackered so came home early.
Last hard day: meant to be today
Last rest day: Saturday
What: Full Body Strength Session, Gym, Plus 1 hour Body-Balance & 15 minute bike
Why: Thursday Night ritual
Rest as above, night all...
Well done Laura ! Don’t know how you keep warm running outside in the Lakes for 2 hrs in these temps and the snow.
Like Martin & Drew, feeling weary during this first week back at work and was very tempted to skip the session … but I rested yesterday so no choice really. First speedwork session for a while felt hard work.
What :- Treadmill, total 10 km on 1% incline doing Yassoo 800’s
1 km warm up at 12 kph
6 x 800 m at 16 kph with 3 min recovery at 10 kph after each piece
1 x 400 m at 16 kph
13 kph for a bit to warm down
Tullip – I find interval training on the Treadmill is the best way to banish the boredom – as well as watching TV
TTFN
lazy cow, me
Blimey lots of quality training on here today and lots of talk of Horwill so.....
What: Horwill Alternating Pace 10K
Why: Honestly was asking myself this when running through slush on the track.
Last hard run: Today
Last rest day: Monday.
Turned out OK, had to take a 3 min rest after 18 laps but got through the 10K in 38:27 (excluding the 3 min rest).
glad to see you're back with a vengeance! great time in the slush.
Why: to see if my back is up to running yet - verdict "sort of" - the running was ok until I got to 16km/hr, but driving and sitting around have not been so jolly.
Then: a couple of miles with the club juniors, steady with a bit of gentle hill work.
Why: regular commitment
what am: 10km in 36:32minutes
why: because i need some miles and i thought i was doing road run with the club tonight....but as it turned out
and.....
between this i cycled about four miles to and from the hairdresers. just slippin it in.
and......
what pm: club session, cut down because i have champ XC's on saturday, so i did 8*200m, 30 sec recovery. 'bout 30-32 seconds/200m.
why: because the coach says and everybody knows he's the boss
and.....
then i went to the climbing wall for 1.5 hours. cos also on saturday i have the third round of the Irish Bouldering League. in which i hope to do well.
night all, i'm off to bed, and rest and dream of all the training i got done today.
What: pm 12x400m 10K pace, 100m rec
Why: To improve my 10K time & I need some speed. My/Cliff Temple training session's
opps: I forgot the fast 200m at the end
Last hard: Tues
Last rest: Fri
Not as cold tonight I managed to train without my hat.
Thought hippos were hosrses

what: Threshold session 6.4K 44mins
last rest: yesterday
