Friday - 20 miles steady on fixed
Saturday - 60 miles some steady, some tempo, some fast with a group of others on fixed.
Awful lot of Bristol Rovers fans in town as I rode back - hopefully they'll be going back disappointed but they've certainly turned up in numbers.

Saturday - 60 miles some steady, some tempo, some fast with a group of others - still on fixed but should be back on gears soon hopefully.

What :- 3 miles tready ramping speed, then 7 miles in the forest doing speedwork and hills - was able to get in some decent quality which was good. Saturday is the end of my week, 61 d&d. Step back to 45 next week - and that will take a bit of GYAOTD as I am travelling.
What: A 6 mile warm up (run there) followed by my first WCTT outing - not as muddy (today at least) as I'd been led to expect - in fact....it was gorgeous!
Why: Second run of the week for me...
Lyrics: Nope
Sorry I'm not posting or reading much.
Really good news from Camp Hollywood is 1) I have been paid for the first time in 18 months
Nice to see some of the regular names posting - and nice to see new names as well... Have fun all!
What: 4 miles easy
Why: test hip, felt ok so I guess I will be running long tomorrow. To say what that would be will only jinx it so I wont :-)
Strange goings on with threads not working etc.!
What: 10 miles
Why: half-mara training
Last hard: today, I suppose
Last rest: yesterday
Today's long run felt really good - 10 miles with the second 5 about 2 minutes quicker than the first (and it was two loops of the same 5 miles, so it is a valid comparison). Aiming for average pace of 8:40 and achieved average pace of 8:36. Can't complain about that.
Did two laps because a group of friends said they'd be out there and I thought company for the first lap would be nice. But were they there? Guess.
Hip hurting now, though, which is a bit of a nuisance.
Good progress on many fronts, Hollywood.
Enjoyed meeting Hippo and Cath (and loads of non-daily threading forumites) yesterday at London social.
What: rehydrating after social & easy 6 miles with JennyD d&d.
Why: being sociable
Last rest: yesterday
Last hard: wednesday
What: 60 ish miles taking in as many hills as possible - out from Nottingham and out to Alport Heights and Wirksworth via a rather convulted route and back via Shottle and Milford. Did the last 15 miles at tempo pace just to see if I can still make myself suffer (I can)
Why: Base building
LAst rest: Wedensday
Last hard: today
Nice and quiet on the roads today due to local teams playing in cup matches :-)
Have fun everyone
What: an hour on the Mountain Bike
Why: cross training / fun
Last hard: thurs
Last rest: fri
Train well all.
9 seconds of running.
What 6.5m
why - recovery
Last hard - thurs
last rest - mon
Take care
What: c 7ml inc a very long 6k XC; later: a recovery run
Why: cos the race was there and I like competing against the same women several times in the season to see how I'm doing.
Any thoughts about words for mud ? Like the Eskimos have lots of words for snow, XC runners should have a whole vocab to describe different types of mud. Todays was thick and gluey, so that it was hard to lift ones feet out of it, but one's legs weren't covered in it by the end, whereas last race the mud was much wetter and easier to run through, and everyone ended up covered in mud up to their knees.
Okay, took me a while to work out what was happening. Hangover and cold doesn't help.
What: enforced rest.
Why: cold (now deposited nicely in chest)
Last rest: Thursday & Friday
Last hard: Wednesday.
Today ...
What: Some low-intensity, high-rep upper-body work.
In the form of: Belaying for kids at the climbing wall.
Last hard: Yesterday.
Last rest: Today. And it really is a common-sense override. I'd love to go for a run, but there's one rest day a week in the schedules and I'm going to take it.
What: North of England xc champs at Heaton Park Manchester. Undulating course with some really boggy and shin deep mud. Course was suppose to be 12k but more like just over 10.3k
Ran a steady 1st lap and then picked up on the 2nd and finished the 3rd quite strong passing quite a few runners and none passing me. Some left in the tank so might do a 2 hr run in the morning. Ran a time of 41.54 dont know my place yet as the results are not yet on the web.
Have a good weekend one and all.
Why: small race tomorrow
Last hard: Wednesday
Last rest: 27 days
Blisters - that must have been so worrying. Little horrors! I suspect she's realised now that she should check out with dad first?
Well long slow run all done. And boy was it slow! But furthest I've run in around 18 months.
What: 14.5 miles in the mud
Why: long run
Last Hard: pulling my heels out of the mud
Last Rest: Yesterday as we went to the pub and ate food instead of going to the gym! :0)
What a plonker I am!
TMR - Thanks for your post as I now know why my lower legs are on fire and can't believe I did not think of this prior to my run. Thick and very heavy mud today which heels just sink into never to be seen again until you pull like h*ll to suck them out.
So it's no wonder really that my achilles decided to flare up and complain. Legs swollen, so ice, elevation and anti infams for them as very sore. Lesson learnt - doh!
What: Day off
Why: Rest day
Last rest: Monday
Last hard: Thurs
Lovely day just relaxing; roll on tomorrow !!!
no time to read back today.
What: 3 hours 20 long ride, just over 52 miles. Should have been 3 hours, but there was a killer headwind on the way home!
Why: IM training
Most sore part: triceps (no idea why)
Good runnings all.

Good to see you Angelis - will probably bump into you at a few races later this year (if I get my act together).
Scoobs - well done in the long run. Take it easy now...
What: 2 miles
Why: calf felt a lot better, so went for a VERY easy jog. Was ready to switch to run/walk if necessary, but no need.
Good luck to anyone racing tomorrow.
