What : Steady 4/5
Why : I need to build my milage up and 4 miles is gettign boring again
Thats if i manage to get to bed tonight of course
Which poses an interesting question - when you don a sport other than running, do you feel like you're being unfaithful?
Today: Not sure yet, would like to do a shortish run (30 minutes) but feeling a little tired.
Why: Tired because of 13 hour day yesterday so may be forced to take rest day.
Last rest: Friday
Last hard day: N/A
honest, its on the schedule as i did speedwork yesterday!
Today: Steady club run
welcome back!
Martin H,
no I never feel like I'm being unfaithful, besides absence makes the heart grow fonder (although I'm not sure if this applies to Frank Horwill's sessions).
What: 10 mile fartlek with club
Why: It's Tuesday!
Last hard run: Sunday's race
Last rest day: Monday
Will probably just go really steady tonight as still a little fatigued from Sunday.
What: 5 miles steady after work tonight, including a couple of sustained upward slopes.
Why: Got to start training properly.
Last rest day: Yesterday.
Last hard day: Sunday.
What: 6 Miles 'As-I-Feel', in Racing flats, on me forefoot (38:25).
Why: Test out Pirie-theory. No knee pain, but did anyone else find their calves ached whn they first made the transition to low heeled shoes/forefoot running style?
PM

ILL BE BACK!!!
why : Busy
last hard day : sun
last rest : sat
much apologies to KK for ruining his serious thread yesterday, the opportunity to rib Laura was too good to miss. I will read the replacement with interest since my 1/2M time is well down on my theoretical time based on my 10k.
So far (PB, my week starts on Monday, sorry) one 4m done, intended, another 4 and two 6's, but bonus plan is to add 2 m to any of the remaining runs. Ambition for the month is to get up to 24m in a week, and that would do it, next week.
Prime ambition, is, whatever I achieve, not to get worn out. No victory at all if I end up dizzy, disoriented, and plagued by headaches and blackouts.
Hence compensating the faster stretches by longer walks.
River rising again, a veritable tready for the ducks, swimming full pelt, sweating feathers, and getting nowhere, waters lapping jealously at my beloved path, thinking to try it as a watercourse again.
Oh well. It was lovely.
Oops. Serious risk of ruining the training thread here!..
What : Speedwork
Why : Club speed session (what will it be tonight? Ohhh the mystery of it all!)
Going for a quick run at lunch because I think I've rather bizarrely bruised the top of my foot.
Last Hard : Tue
Last Rest : Sat
What: 8*800m (c2:20), 200m jog recovery
Why?: Training for FLM - don't want to neglect pace.
Last hard day: Yesterday
Last rest day today: 07/01 - too much snow and ice.
seriously concerned about being called "darl". I'm not prude or anything but when fast bearded runners start coming on strong to me my wife might think its time I took up some other sport.
;-) shall we go to another thread?
[profuse blushing, etc].
Thats RW's fault for not allowing us to edit our posts. Subsitute 'darl' for 'mate' in above post.
***End of thread infection***
and morning the rest of you as well. Sorry, but I won't be regurgitating my weekly training each day, too much to read and any spare space on this thread I will save for teasing (and being teased).
What: 7 miles 'medium slow' run.
Why: on this week's schedule and it might as well be today, sure my legs would die instantly if I tried anything harder.
Well impressed some of you are back to speed sessions today after racing Sunday.
Last hard: Sun.
Last rest: yesterday.
What: Rest Day
Why: Feeling a little sore still after Sunday
Last Hard: Sunday's 10 Mile Race
Last Rest: Saturday
KK - it's OK for a chap to show his feelings for another chap these days, no need to be embarrassed!
What: Club night.
Why: More people turn up if it's always the same night.
Hard: Sunday 10M race.
Rest: Yesterday.
Roll on 6-30.
What: Rest day.
Why: Because I need it! (And it's scheduled anyway).
Last hard: Friday (speed session).
Last rest: Saturday.
Sun: 7M in 1 hr (long run), Mon: 4 miles in 36.45 (recovery run).
Right knee started playing up on yesterday's run - feel I may have jarred it as can't always see where I'm stepping in the dark and there are quite a lot of uneven pavements where I live. Will be careful though: don't want any injuries.
Session yesterday:
What: 5.5 miles (slow long run)
Why: didn't run over the weekend
Last Hard: Last Tuesday
Last Rest: Sunday
Today is a rest day. Will do a yoga session later
as someone with an 8-year old 800m PB (only attempt ever at the event actually) of 2:14.4, much respect to anyone who can bash out 8x800 in 2:20 off jog recoveries (and as part of a FLM schedule?)....
what: will probably try an easy run
why: meeting up with the Wirral runners; probably won't be able to handle what they're doing tonight (suspect it's a speed session). Quads easing a bit; blister under toe will need attention.
last hard day: Sun
last long day: Sun
last rest day: Mon
what : first speed session in build up to FLM as per RW 4hr schedule. 1mjog + 4 sets of 800m fast with 200m jog recoveries + 1m jog
why :need to work on speed as when i tried a burst at Helsby there was nothing there.
last hard : sunday
last rest : yesterday.
What - hopefully 8 miles at 1/2 marathon pace. But too many deadlines today and flying to Reykjavik tonight(Work not pleasure) so will fit in what I can. Really must start on speedwork again when I get back.
Last hard - ha ha, second X country skiing circuit last night. You know that time when your legs and arms just give up on you? It happened
