Toe is killing me
So Ill walk round Brum in an attepmpt to find somewhere to live
What - eight or nine miles steady
Why - cos there's deep snow here and anything faster is impossible
Last hard - yesterday. Waited for snow to stop before I went out, by which time it was a foot deep. I was 'first person out' on the footpaths so had to plough my own tracks through the virgin snow. Hard work - fun though.
Good luck in the search Hippo.
LizzyB, it sounds great fun ploughing through the snow. Just think of it as strength training!
Today: nothing apart from a swim
Why: active recovery day
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: Monday
Today: Probably a run but as usual at the moment I play it by ear during the day to see how the knee feels, but hope to do 40 minutes steady.
Why: Recovery
Last Rest: Last thursday
Last Hard: N/A
PS. Did anyone see "No going back" on Channel 4 last night? What a nightmare!!
What: contiued stretching plus "endurance session" if I can find the time on the boring gym machines
Why: PT orders
last hard day : Monday
last rest: Tuesday
Good luck all tapering helsby halfers, I 'm sure by the end of the day you'll have a website up with race nos, target times etc.
What : Club night
Why : Club night
Last Hard : Tuesday
Last Rest : Sat
What: Rest.
Why: Other half has decided it's about time he got back into exercising, so have agreed alternate nights otherwise by the time we both get home, exercise, shower and eat it's really late. Tonight is his turn (I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday).
Last hard: Monday.
Last rest: Tuesday.
Tried out some of your suggestions re. pacing last night. Worked out the mile splits for my route and tried to keep to an even pace. Didn't quite get it right (miscalculated one of the mile splits, which didn't help - thought 6:42 at a relaxed pace was a bit out!) but it definitely helped. Ran 4.1 miles in 33:55, which works out to 8:16/mile - a good relaxed pace for me. The steep hill at the end of the run seemed very manageable at this pace too.
V jealous of snow too Lizzy.
Welcome back Wild Will.
Mike, you feeling good? Really hope you can make it Drew.
sfh legs: it's already on:www.urwfrc.org/index.html
What: 5 miles easy
Why: tapering.
Last hard: yesterday
Last rest: Tues
Hilly, gathered your 10 miler went well yesterday!
What: 4 miles, but ended up walking the last half. Pavement wouldn't stay still - always a bad sign.
Better luck tomorrow.
Hippo, happy house hunting. Would cutting the toe out of a retiring pair of trainers allow you to get going a little, if you wanted to?
Then again house hunting is exhausting and counts double as (very) cross training.
it just hurts
im out again tomorrow
What: Tempo sesh of some sort, maybe treadmill, combining with gymmy things.
Why: Last chance for a tough-ish one before the Fred Hughes 10 on Sunday.
Rest: Monday
Hard: Tuesday @ club.
Treated myself to a gentle 30 min recovery run again last night. It may not be making any positive impact on my fitness, but it's loadsa fun!
Martin, I too slept in. Frustrating. I really want to do my runs in the morning - think I need a second alarm clock
What: Had planned 40 mins hills, but not sure I'll fit it in now...so anything will be good. Also practising and teaching Body Balance
Why: schedule
Last hard: Tues
Last easy: Weds
Last rest: Mon
Have good runs today - beautiful day here
Good to see you posting again Wild Will.
What: 30 mins on treadmill and 15 mins on rower
Why: recovery day
Last Hard: Tuesday

last hard tues
last rest mon
next rest tomorrow as I have to drive up north for a bloody meeting!!!!!!!!!!!
I shall not lie when I say im knackered,just got back from what I thought was a pretty damn hard session.
What:
1.5km row 6.31secs (avg HR 134 - max 153)
40km Bike 58.24secs (avg HR 167 - max 182)
7km Run 31.46secs (avg HR 158 - max 166)
Really wanted 10k run but became very low on energy and people were waiting to use treadmills so I felt I had to get off.
This was a very hard session, the bike was on one of those upright cycles which I dont get on with at all, I much prefer the spinning bikes but not knowing the distance I opted for the uprights.
Hard but good!
Do you know where I could get hold of a wicking cap and underpants set?
D'oh!
What : appx 11 miles easy/steady on country lanes,fields and trails. Lovely and bright,sun low in the sky and all the snow and rain had drained away so it wasn't that boggy at all.
Why : midweek long run
Last Hard : Yesterdays intervals
Last Rest : Sunday
Why: still suffering from flu-like symptons.
It's so tempting to start training again before being fully recovered but don't let me do it!
Helsby is looking very doubtful now, and I was really looking forward to meeting up with everyone.
Take care now
I last done my 10k race while having the flu and then I was off training for 2 weeks.
Rest up!
If you answer yes to any of the questions then don't train. Big fan of fresh air though so why not go for a walk to clear your head - but no 'lifting'!!
Tried a few whiskies last night but that didn't work either!
What - rest
Why - Gotta
Last Hard - Last nights Club Run 6ish
Last Rest - Tuesday
DON'T DO IT DREW!!
Nurse fetch the straight-jacket!
having to rearrange earlier posting!!
what - brisk 1hr run
why- rugby match rearranged for tonight!!
