What: Nothing - rest day.
Why: Tuesday is a scheduled rest day for me.
Last hard: Yesterday - 5 miles at tempo pace.
Last rest: Sunday (I know, I know - it should have been my long run day but my schedule was messed up by having to miss Friday's run, which I did Saturday, then realised I'd end up running three days in a row, so skipped Sunday. Bad Minkin! Slap wrists!)
CK-it's good to rest when you're tired!
cycle to work and back
Freakette, if you were doing 40 mpw with 15 mile + long runs then ca 3 week gap shouldn't do a lot of harm. The trick will be not to try and catch up by adding too much distance at once ! Interested that recovery has continued despite continuing speedwork etc, I find this can give quite a pounding to the system and trying to do this plus extend distance at the same time could cause recurred trouble. Keeping off hard surfaces helps too.
What: 7.5 - 8 miles with 5 - 6 miles tempo in the middle
Why: Bright & sunny
Last rest: yesterday
Last hard: Sunday
What: 23 miles 3hrs 24 long run
Why: missed it at the weekend
Last hard: Saturday
Last rest: Monday
Am doing the softer surfaces thing though; I do a 2hr bus journey to Richmond park for many of my runs when time allows! My area is a nightmare for running on anything other than concrete; every decent sized park is at least 1 bus away, and the local track may as well be concrete!!! In the course of an average speed session on one of the few nearby fields, I'll lap it ziiiiiiiillions of times - almost as bad as treadmill running!!
Laura - thanks for the advice to you also...sadly my last bike session included flinging myself out onto an intersection going round a corner, so my bike's a bit poorly at the mo!!! I'm actually trying out a XC-skiing machine, as it's supposed to use more 'running' muscles, so we'll see what that does I guess!
Sarcy - youch!!!!!!!! Well done!!
What: Bad day!!!! Had meant to do five lots of 2kms in 8mins with 2.5 min recovery in between and 15 mins warm up and 10 mins warm down. Abandonned in the fourth 2kms half way through with terrible stitch which I do not normally get. Suspect it may be as tired from baby waking up at night, lots of work and fact I did this at lunchtime not having had chance to even eat breakfast. Result - first unaccomplished session for quite some time and annoyed with myself.
Why: Hard speed session
Last hard: Sunday time trial
Last rest: Saturday
Simon
I abandoned a session last week due to windy conditions and was cross with myself thinking fancy stopping running because of a bit of wind! But sometimes we have to allow for disruptions.
Good luck next time!!
Why: Was meant to be 1hr 15min hard speed sesh - but yet again time management issues on the Snicks household!
Last easy: Sunday's circuits class
Last rest: yesterday
Big time management issues big this week - any inspirational speakers or life coaches out there?
attempted speed session on tready
erm, cant go into details
Yasso 400-1200s(well 1200 once)
With 300 m walk recoveries
Felt hard
2% incline
I suppose i did 5 miles
Why: speed session
Last hard day: Sunday
Last rest day: long time ago!
Snicks, if you're looking for an inspirational speaker don't ask me! Most of the people who have attended my presentations have either fallen asleep or fallen about laughing (not quite sure which I prefer!)
I don think so
Getting worse, cant keep blaming th 2% incline
Cant do prolonged speed
What do you think?
its my overall fitness level
Its maddening, cos i try so hard, and dont want to know im crap
Im training 5 times a week
IE not walk 13 miles
I cant BUT do a PB
Ive done more training now than id done for first marathon
Id never even run 30 continuous minutes then
My longest run was 13 miles run/walk ONCE on tready
Dont know how i got round, well i do
it was me brain wot did it
Im trying to do the RW sub 4.30, only cos there isnt a sub 5
managing 3/4 of it
tonight, we had to do 1.5 miles at speed, times 3
And my long runs are a problem, 13 miles instead of 16, but i had done a 52 hour shift before
I do on call 1-2 x week, it makes it tricky
Amazing i can walk
Sorry
nite
