Temperatures continue to fall over here, minus 8 this morning - may mean that I'm restricted to indoor run on the treadmill this evening. On a positive note it wass quite light at around 6 ish yesterday evening - those long winter nights will soon be just a distanct memory.
Today: 30 minutes acceleration run
Why: Tradmill training needs a little spice.
Last hard day: Saturday
Last rest: Friday.

Why: leg is settling down, but panic is setting in!
Good luck today's runners
Today: Five or six miles around the roads of a part of Brum I haven't run in before.
Why: I've got to be there this afternoon and will have a one-hour gap between appointments. It's not the 8-miler I had scheduled, but it's better than nothing.
Last hard day: Yesterday, in that I did two sessions though neither was hard in its own right.
Last rest day: Sunday.
Next rest day: Tomorrow.
What : Getting the motivation to go for a 5.5 Mile run
Why : 2 hards days on the rowing machine so want some sort of recovery! Plus I have circuit training tonight with a 3 mile run before hand. And also (ends here) I want to add something extra to my regular training.
Last Hard : Yesterday (not running though)
Last Rest : Friday, scheduled much needed day off)
What: slow-ish 6m later this morning
Why: building back up this week as I missed all last week cos of a bad tummy bug; did 3m slow on Monday and 4m fast-ish on Tuesday
Last hard: long run about 10 days ago
Last rest: yesterday - wasn't supposed to be but work got in the way!
another grey dull day in Central London (but then everyday is whilst I'm on this project). Mulling over what to do today as I'm going to miss my club night.
What : Some sort of speed session - either fartlek or mile reps
Why : Need to put some effort in.
Last Hard : Tuesday
Last Rest : Saturday
what: nothing
why: throat bug still in control - moved on a bit - shifted lots of discoloured gunge this morning.
last session of any kind: Sun
no of sessions missed so far: 2
Mon was a scheduled rest day & Thu almost certainly have been one also - the one minor consolation.
Why: Schedule
Last hard: Tues
Last easy: last night (although hard on my poor legs!)
Very cold, but should be nice to run in! Get well soon Mike - Flippin' eck Rob Brown, that's going some
What: 4½ miles steady
Why: Scheduled
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: Tuesday
What: Rest day.
Why: Scheduled, but need it - legs a bit sore from the cumulative effects of last night's tempo run and the extra distance I did at the weekend by increasing my long run.
Last hard: Yesterday.
Last rest: Tuesday.
The mornings are getting noticeably lighter - I'm looking forward to the time when the evenings follow suit! How long until it's still light at 6:30pm?
What: 5 easy miles
Why: Tempo tomorrow.
Called the local running track and found out that A. they're open all the time and B. It's dirt cheap for as long as you like.
Looking forward (!?) to some proper speedwork sessions starting next week.
Cheer up though folks, the bulbs are coming up and the lambing's started, spring can't be far away.
Take care with that tendon Snicks, is it all your hill training?
What: 2.5k intervals or 6 mile tempo run.
Why: on this week's plan, but need daylight for the intervals. I'll see what the day brings.
Last hard: Mon
Last rest: last Thurs.
Glad you're back to running WP.
What: 5 junk miles (see other thread).
Why: Racing Sunday, need a leg-stretch, and I want to run 5 junk miles.
Hard: Last Thursday?
Rest: Yesterday.
Truly, deeply hacked off with the world in general today. Anyone volunteer to let me shout at them? Please!
Oh well. Enjoy your runs, folks.
Go on, Swerve. Have a good old shout. And pelt out those therapeutic miles. You'll feel so much better. Miles run to relieve stress are by definition not junk miles.
Why: Want to see how much speed I've lost following illnes
Last rest day: yesterday
last hard day: Tuesday
Swerve, you can shout at me if you want!
What: 6 mile easy run
Why: easy after yesterday's hard run
Last rest: Friday

Want to go for a run, but stuck at work at the moment. Later I'm going to practice half marathon tempo pace as this has definitely been lacking from current running programme.
What: 6 miles at half marathon tempo
Why: Sounds like fun!
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: yesterday
What:45 mins hill programme on bike (24km)
5km run on treadmill
30 lenghs in da pool

Catch ya all tomorrow.
ps, get all those frustrations out Tiger!!!!
What: 6.5 miles steady
Why: general mid week run
Last hard: Tue (speedwork)
Last rest: yesterday
Minkin - oh what a joy 8:30am would be as a start time ... 7am is our usual. Actually by choice as I prefer to get going !
Looking forward to that run....... :-)
What : Tempo/HR experiment
Ran to the gym (1.25 miles) in 9:30
then did 10k,first km at 12.0kmph (warm up)
then did 8k at 13.1 kmph (marathon pace)
then did 1k at 12.0 kmph (warm down)
Ran home from the gym (1.25 miles) in 9:29
Wanted to see my HR for a longish trot at my target marathon pace : range 155-161 although everytime I looked it was 158,159 or 160.
Dunno what this tells me (still a newbie' to HR training) but I've got the books to read!
Resting HR 35-40 and I'm 36. Any tips ?
I tried this prior to my marathon debut last year. At that time I was 37 (38 now), resting HR 42, (race) tested max HR 195.
I was told at the time that I should aim to run the marathon at around 70-75% of WHR, which equates to between 150 and 160. I was actually using the Karvonen method (WHR) which pushed. In the actual marathon I couldn't get below 160 which probably part of the reason why I blew up so badly!
What is your max?
Have you monitored your HR in other (shorter) races?
what: 15M marathon pace tempo run @ av. 6:17
how: not too uncomfortably all things considered, but it still amazes me how some of you manage to knock these out without breaking a sweat, as it were ;-)
why: hadn't done one for a couple of weeks
last rest: Saturday
last hard day: Tuesday
it doesn't feel much like Spring down here in London - not too much "lambing" going on, whatever bucolic attraction that may be.
What:1hr swimming
Why:thigh strain
Last hard:Tues speed session
Last rest:Mon

what-club speed session at track
why-try and redeem tues crap session!
last hard-tues?

Enjoy!
no running today so have been exploring the public footpaths on the fells close to my house on my mountain bike, found some brilliant off road runs, also found that I have used muscles I didnt know I had its so hard peddling through mud, and I got covered in the stuff, had to hose my bike down when I got back.
I am going to run round them tomorrow and get covered in mud again, it will be my first time running off road, cant wait.....
Gaz.......
