Thanks :-)
What: 1M warm-up, 15K @~1/2M pace, 1M cool-down
Why: Tempo run
Last hard run: Today for sure
Last rest day: Monday
Felt pretty good, got through the 15K in 57 min flat so seems like things are going in the right direction. However, have been feeling a little flat in general lately so will probably take the next week fairly steady in preparation for the final onslaught for the build-up to FLM.
Have a great week everyone.
Best
mm ;-)
hilly - good luck with the injury.
it is a royal pain in the @rse when work gets in the way of running don't ya think? The fact that I'm missing the Stamford 30K prompted the 30K MP run last weekend, which went alright and so was quite a confidence boost.
Sounds like training is going really well with you. The fact that you can do a 15M MP run mid-week bodes very well for the marathon itself methinks. Any other races planned prior to FLM?
Monique,
that's awesome that you can get an 18.5 miler in during the week. Great stuff.
Hilly, WP,
all others with injuries, hang in there, it'll come good.
my next race is Reading 1/2M on 9 March -now I'm panicking that I'll do a worse time than last w/e which felt like a fluke, and then I won't know where I am. trouble with the remorseless Horwill regime is it's hard to gauge how the training's actually going.
Why:schedule
Last hard: Tues - although today was pretty hard for the upper body
Last rest: Mon
Why: Lots of work to do as the finance server was down most of last week, and I'm away at the end of next week.
Last nights 2 miler (breaking in new shoes) was the best run I've had in ages - even the hills didn't feel too hard. But still not feeling in the least bit confident about the half on 16/3.
I have committed to taking my running shoes to Finland with me next week, as apparently there is a nice path by the river near where the conference is being held. Anyone know how many degrees below zero it is on the Arctic Circle this week?
Regarding goal time for the FLM, I think I'll probably make a final decision after my next race, Stafford 20M which coincidentally is on the same day as your next one.
DON'T PANIC. I'm sure you'll post a blinding time, especially if you back off just a smidgen the week before the race. I think the fact that you posted a low 1:18 1/2M last time out with no taper indicates that you're in awesome shape. Frank H is lovin' it for sure at this point!
Night all
A good excuse for a easier week and enjoyed the swim tonight for 40 mins.
Have a good business trip MM, we'll keep tabs on Achilles' Horvill sessions in your absence don't worry (sure your 1/2 was nothing like a fluke A)
Have a good time in Finland Nessie, do you like vodka? That's how they keep warm out there.
Well, it's after dark and I didn't get out so swapped rest days with tomorrow rather than junk mile tonight. Settled for starting contentious thread on General instead. <feet up in front of laptop>. :-)
on call
What: pm 8M steady very comfortable, trying to hold myself back form going too quick.
Last hard: Tues
Last rest: Fri
Looking forward the final Kent XC league race on Saturday.
Looking forward to an easy off-road at work tomorrow and Liversedge on Sunday.
Laura- so far have refrained from sticking my 2 penn'th on your contentious thread, might not be able to resist though!
Never mind, I WILL be running tomorrow.
