Hope all goes well for you.
Why: Improve breathing and technique
Hope it will make swimming less hard work.
Why: 1/2 marathon schedule
Last run: Monday
Last rest: yesterday
Horrible. I've lost the faith that I can do the time I'm aiming for.
Swimming lessons sound cool though - I'm one of those people that can only do breast stroke.
Why: Club night and training for GSR
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: Yesterday
Last night's run was one of those fantastic floating on air sessions. I ran my hilly course which totals between 7-8 miles, first 4 uphill. Felt really strong on the uphill section so pushed hard, just as I came to the top (where I usually slow to rest) another runner was coming down the downhill path that joins with my route. So I accelerated over the top and sped of into the distance. I then ran the rest of the way home without slowing. Best of all I really felt like my knee was a lot lot better.
Today: Probably cross train but may also throw in a short run.
Why: Cross training seems to be doing some good but now my knee seems to be improving I want to get some more running in.
Since hard: Yesterday
Since rest: 5
Why: recovery
Last Hard: Monday
Last Rest: Yesterday
why:back from hols involving only a "maintenance regime" ie Red wine substituted for 50% of normal training so tonite needs to be a good long session
wow hasn't the forum acquired a lot of new members and faces. still trying to work out how to get ernie wise's legs to appear, a current photo isn't easy to get!! I will not be beaten!
- Legoland yesterday
- Tiny D 1st Birthday on Saturday
- Mrs D in Flora Light on Sunday
So after Mondays recovery and yesterday at legoland (does that count as a rest with two kids?) then today I will do an 8 mile tempo at HalfM pace rather than midweek long run so around 7m10 miling.
For the rest of the week I'll have to 'suck it and see' although I may do the long run on Saturday. I've found getting out by 6am and being back in by 8am works for me.
I get the run out of the way and leaves me energised for the day ahead not worrying about when I'm going to get my run in.
Also the weather is lovely first thing and traffic is virtually nil.
Does junior D really start school a week today ? Yippeeeeeee....
Why: need to rest after a really good, hard run yesterday with the club. Supposed to be 4.5 miles but Ash measured it and it was nearer to 6!
Last hard day: yesterday
Last rest day: monday
What: Swim – Drills and a couple of sprints
Why : I got my dew TYR Aquafoil swimming float in the post this morning and I want to try it out – and its part of my race prep for this weekend
Last Hard Day : Last Night – 6-mile tempo run with sprints
Last Rest Day : Monday
Will
why: cos it's there, taking place about 3 miles away
last hard day: Fri
last rest day: Mon
why - only trying to build an endurance base and loose weight before starting a race build up but a little bit of faster running keeps the interest up.
last hard - Sunday
last rest yesterday
Training supplement - my RHR has dropped this week from 42-43 to 40. Not a lot of people know that.
What: already been out early for 10 miles easy. Will also go for a swim at lunchtime.
Why: the sun was shining and I just felt like running. The swim is training for triathlon.
Last hard day: last night did 9 miles hilly off road club session-good pace.
Last rest day: Saturday
What:
AM - Swim 2100, perfecting my tumble-turns so will now spend the rest of the day with a storming headache due the volume of water taken in through my nose
PM - Run 9 miles steady
Why - 2 weeks on Sunday till Nottingham
Days since last hard - Yesterday
Days since last easy - Friday
Gareth
I'm looking forward to the Robin Hood also Gareth, but just the half for me, :-)
What: 21 mile bike
Why: It's perfect cycling weather here in Notts, no wind and nice and warm.
Last hard run: Yesterday
Last rest day: Monday
Had great fun on my bike, quiet out, not much traffic and managed to ride a 20.4 mph average (aided by a 2 mile draft behind a tractor half way through the ride).
mm
arguably you could have found a less unfortunate way of telling us when your last intense training day was ;-)
I have nearly typed something like this myself once or twice I must admit.
What: 13 miles steady
Why: midweek long run
Last hard day: yesterday, mile intervals
Last rest day: last Monday
s.
Today -my version of interval training (on treadmill) warm-up then 4x800m with 2-3mins recovery
why: trying to increase my basic speed
last hard day: today
Last rest day: yesterday
What: favourite local offroad 5-7 miles at steady pace.
Why: Reasonably hard tempo run yesterday, in fact set a PB on my way around.
Last hard day: yesterday
Last rest: Mon
What: Sauna/Jacuzzi.
Why: Still recovering from Monday night's bike crash.
The pain in my legs is now localised to the bruises and only hurts when I poke them (I know - but you have to check, don't you?). I can now lift my left arm, which yesterday was a challenge (looked very funny trying to get a sandwich off the top shelf in M&S at lunchtime) but it's still too stiff to attempt a swim. Hopefully the heat in the sauna will help enough to allow a reasonable run tomorrow, to check out whether Sunday's 10k is still a go-er.
Last Hard: Sunday's triathlon (or Monday's tarmac :-))
Last Rest: Yesterday
Why: Strength and speed (it works for me)
Last hard run: Sunday
Last rest day: Monday
Anyway, they get paid to play, don't they?.
Why: just needed to get moving!
Last hard day: Sunday
Last rest: yesterday.
Nessie, I hope you are mending well! I don't know about Mij's freezer idea, though!
