Its SNOWED here
Brrrrrrrrrrr
What: 4½ miles in a good time. Another good run, things going very well this week.
Why: Scheduled.
Last Rest: Sunday
What : 5 Mile run before circuits tonight as a warm up. Then a 2 mile run back
Why : Thursday is Circuits night and always do running as a warm up for it
Last Hard : Yesterday!
Last Rest : Friday
What: Planning around 9 miles steady this afternoon.
Why: Thursday is second-longest-run day. Increasing length of all my runs apart from the speedwork gradually.
Last rest day: Monday.
Last hard day: Yesterday, but most of it wasn't running.
I reserve the absolute right to choose to cancel my training if it snows even a little.
OK, feels like I can post again as I'm doing something today..
Firstly, Martin, hope you get good news today..injury is a bugger..
What: 6 miles tempo
Why: last run before Sunday's Bramley 20..want to save some energy..
Last rest yesterday
Last hard: Tuesday..
Vrap...can't let a little snow stop you... I've heard that you're tough...
What: had intended to do 10 x 400m and 10 x 100m recoveries, but as I did 1.5 hours at marathon pace last night, my body wouldn't let me! Very sore legs - and frustrating. So, ended up being 40 min recovery, very slow, only between 4 to 5 miles. Also Body Balance and if I can I'll swim tonight.
Why: erm, see above.
Last hard: last night
Last easy: enforced rest on Tuesday
Realised that making it up as you go along not always good. Last night I pshed myself, and thought I need to push myself an extra 2% on each run - sadly my body didn't agree! Kids wrecking office - gotta go
Beautiful crisp sunny morning that the UK can spring on you every now and again made it a pleasure.
Aaah.
the bat
What: planned track session for later
Why: trying to develop go-faster legs so that Sunday's RW thingie feels easy. plus, I got a sparkly new pair of track spikes in the sale yesterday, which I have to test;)
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: Monday, though I went on the XC skier last night instead of running, but worked quite hard.
I also reserve the right to cancel a session (or X-train instead!) if it snows. It's nice when it's fresh and quite deep, but otherwise too slippery and not worth risking an injury. It's actually really nice to find a snowy field and do speedwork...
What: 6 - 7 Miles Steady
Why: Schedule says so, and it will be a lot easier than last nights hill session.
Last Hard: Hills last night
Last rest: Sunday
Jeez Snicks, don't you think you need more than 12 hrs rest after a 1.5 hr marathon pace session??
Keep posting Ratbag, best of luck at Bramley, what time are you hoping for?
What: 65*50m swim.
Why: schedule says recovery run, still have slight calf twinge from Sunday so playing it safe.
Last hard: yesterday.
Last rest: Mon
Best of luck at the doctors today Martin.
Extreamly tough one for me today.
What: 2km warm up 11& 12 kph on treadmill.
45 mins hard on bike covering 32km ( avg 142-180 max HR )
then:
10km run starting @ folowing paces:
1st km @ 13kph
2nd km @ 14kph
3rd km @ 15kph
4th km @ 13kph
5th km @ 14kph
6th km @ 15kph
7th km @ 13kph
8th km @ 14kph
9th km @ 15kph
10th km @ 13kph and 12kph
total time 43.32 (avg 160-176 max HR )
then:
20 lenghs in the pool 14.15 ( avg 149-165 max HR )
Very hard session today, rest of the day will be spent resting.
What: Ooh, 5-7 miles Not too speedy, not too slow.
Why: Just about recovered from Sunday.
Hard: Tuesday club night. A real struggle!
Rest: Yesterday.
May the gods of running visit your wicking underwear.
best of luck concerning your knee Martin. I tell you what I look down these messages and think my aren't we all busy little bees, and I'm staggered at the complexity of some of the sessions you all do. Its blooming marvellous.
What : Club night so who knows
Why : Thursday
Last Hard : Tuesday
Last Rest : Monday
Anyway have been to the doc and FINALLY believe I have the correct diagnosis which thankfully means my running days aren't yet over. The problem it seems is, as I expected, a pateller tendon problem with the immediate solution being to get some insoles specially made (to correct stability) and get some physio. If that doesn't work then apparently there is some kind of electric shock treatment.....bibble.....bibble......bibble. I've put a slightly longer report on the injury thread as it may be interesting for some.
Now where did I put that marathon calender?
What: 9 miles easy
Why: recover from yesterday's tempo run
Last rest day: Saturday.
Last hard day: Yesterday.
Thankfully I am off to S.Africa for two weeks tonight so today was my last cold run for a while. Yippeee!
What:9 miles including 8 fartlek
Where; On the treadmill- yawn
Last hard: they all feel hard on a treadmill!
Last easy:Tuesday (rest)
Collym- lucky you ,off to S. Africa
Wheeee! Snow at last! I LOVE running in snow. Doctor, am I ill?
What - 7 or 8 miles with some fartlek and maybe some cross country skiing later
Why - Er, now there´s a question.
Last hard - Tuesday
Lst rest - yesterday (but swam 500 metres and sat in the hot tub for a bit)
