It does seem to be getting lighter in the mornings TR, should make the early runs more enjoyable.
Felt a bit ropey before my run home, so decided i had best do a slow 6m home, but felt a bit better so added some of the lumpier lane miles and finished with a slow 12m. Good time on feet.
BTW I managed to find a pair of Fuel Cell TC reduced from £180 to 129, with a bit of club discount got this down to £113. Almost the same price as a normal shoe!
13.3m this morning. Blowing a bit so used the Sustrans cycle route out & back again for a bit of shelter. Nice temps of around 10 degrees though.
Quick turnaround for 10m this morning, 5m easy, 5m approx +10%. Been a good week of double digits so far.
Chichester 10k sunday, 25 mph winds, 40+ mph gusts and rain forecast. No surprises there.
Lol at the Sunday forecast, doesn't look much better here TBH. We were obviously very lucky with the Brass Monkey.
2 x 4m today, breezy but circa 10 degrees again.
TR - More evidence to show you are a race day wind god, it loves you. Good luck!
Just 3 days of 2*4m easy this week, and maybe a 10K solo TT this afternoon aiming for just under sub40 or thereabouts.
OO - my most recent pegs have about 100m on them, i have an unused pair of pegs and flyknits in reserve. My 4% only have 10m on them (Chichester 10k 2 yrs ago), and my Next% have about 90m on them.
10m home tonight, been a good week of doubles. Sundays race organisers sent out a rallying call in the race info, saying that we are hardy runners and dont mind a bit of bad weather. It might scupper my plan of extra motor circuit laps as wu and wd if it gets too miserable though.
OO.. that's a decent stock of fairly new shoes! Got my Barca trip refunded this week so a chance to plan a new trip to a race somewhere.
An easy 5.2m today, I'm planning the Parkrun plus a few miles tomorrow though it's looking like a gusty one again.
I got lucky, 10.2m with add ons and managed to stay dry this morning inc. the Parkrun. The latter was not quite as windy as last week though the wind direction meant we spent a longer time running into it, just over 1k I guess. I became an elected wind break for a couple of girls in this section! 22.14 was 20 secs quicker than last week so progress of sorts.
TR - Be interested in how you go/ are going very blowy here, glad I didn't enter our localish 10k which is at the same time as your own. Either way you will get fitness gains and maybe a new tshirt/ medal.
Good progress with Fridays 10k TT, felt the same kind of effort and came in 39 dead, a 8 sec per m improvement on the same run 10 days previous. So will target 38 something for next weeks. 20m this afternoon after my sons 🏉 and my team on TV for the ⚽️ just in time for the rain - yay.
Hope the weather was kind for TR today.
Nice rate of improvement, OO: sub 38 before you know it!
Nice parkrun progress, too, Wardi.
Had time for 5 or 6m before hand, but decided to wait in the car whilst the water cannon rain hosed it down. The rain stopped shortly into the 2m. Only 5m afterwards as my car was one of a few left in the parking field and i didnt want to miss the help from the marshalls with their landrovers dragging cars out the mud. 10k was as expected (OO beat me), fastest mile was 5.50, slowest was 7.08. Gadget was displaying 8mm pace at times. There were folks stopping to walk in a 10k as it was so windy round the track. Best thing about is its done.
OO.. nice 20m in the bag and a cracking time trial.
Jools.. sounds like you did well to fit those runs in.
My last 3 Parkruns have either been windswept or over distance so I will bide my time for a calm day to get my time down further.
9.5m this morning, gusty but the rain stayed away. 61m for the week.
Curry plus a couple of Kingfishers tonight.
Jools - plenty of cardio variety there
Wardi - super weekly mileage total. Snap, same here. Enjoy the curry & beers.
First proper 20m bagged, ran it P&D ish, so 8mm for first 12m and c7.20 mm for the last 8. Got wet, very windy, wet running shirt, forgot nipple plasters and got nipple chaff (ouch indeed). Its not all glamour this lark is it? Debuted the Pegasus, really comfy and felt great, so my long run and everyday shoe from now on. With 4m earlier 24m for the day.
OO - thats the way to do the long run. I reckon doing those set me up well for vlm, by the end i was doing 7 to 9m at 8mm with another 13 at 7.20. I think that during training when you are untapered its a much more relevant effort......i like Pegs, they are a good workhorse.......i need the car park to dry out, im back there next week for a 1/2, hopefully at a quicker pace than today, although i might do it as an mp run with wu and wd. We'll see what the weather gods turn up.......
4.2m on the treadie waiting for security alarm repair man this morning. 7m with the club tonight in persistent light drizzle, very mild though.
13m home tonight.
Some big volume in last week's track session - 6km, 3.2km, 1.6km all at HM effort - to try build some strength again felt good but there's a lot of timber and a lot of fitness to regain before paces look ok again. Slowly slowly, etc.
10m back in today, 5 easy, 5 approx mp+10%.
Good work with 23m in 2 days.
TT.. some consistent weeks of decent miles there. Hope the chiropractic treatment sorted you out.
Jools.. asking for Mrs Wardi.. what's the best method/stuff for cleaning violin strings?
12.4m earlier. A bit breezy but the sun was out for most of it so a pleasant run.
TT - Cheers, the resumption of my running for the April marathon has been unconventional, hopefully a more normal pattern from here. Your building up nicely, with good mileage and done quality sessions great to see.
Wardi - Nice MLR and seeing the sun was a bonus.
9m yday and 4&8m today av. 8.30 mm. Still feeling a bit tired from Sundays run. The April marathons getting closer. Happy still to think in terms of weeks when you start thinking in terms of days, feels like they're practically knocking on the door. Joe Blogs and CD running Seville soon.
