    Morning all - day three of no running.

    Decided to add a little bit of science to my cross training last night, so put on the HRM and did 15 minutes on the rower (pushing HR up to mid-140's) then 25 minutes on stationary bike alternating 2 minutes slow (c.130 HR) with 2 minutes fast (c.163-5 HR). In addition, had a go on the gym ball and found it surprisingly hard (using the exercises from RW).

    Today: Steady bike (45 minutes or so)
    Why: Building endurance base.

    Also intend to investigate gym tonight with the intention of doing weights and or elliptical.

    What: 4miles. First time under 40 minutes (just!). Very pleased, after last weeks doubts.

    Very pleased also, as I learned that angiogram is now scheduled for the 13th. Not a trace of perceptible trouble with this morning's outing. If I can do what I did this morning, heart trouble, if any, is hardly likely to be serious, is it?

    On the down side, I learned that we were too late to get into the River Cam run. Bother. Should have liked to race this Sunday, particularly with the outside possibility that I will be condemned next Thursday.

    Morning all,

    decided this week is going to be an easy week before gearing up for the last push towards the marathon, so yesterday did alot less than I said I was going to do. I'm going to take a couple of days of rest, and I'm going away at the weekend so that'll be relaxing.

    What : Speed work
    Why : its a Tuesday
    Last Hard : Last Tuesday
    Last Rest : Sunday

    Have a good one folks!

    Morning

    Well its time to put my knee to the test time.

    What: tready Interval session - 10*400m with 90sec slow recoveries - speed? will try 14.6kph (ie 5% above 10k race)
    Why: First hard running intervals since mid november
    last hard : Forgotten
    last rest : Monday

    I'm fast reaching a decision point re my training. My longest run for 4 months has been about 7.5 miles, I had entered a 1/2M on 16/3 but other than than 1 10miler league run in May its 10k or less until August. Should I run the 1/2m as a trainer, come in 10mins down on PB and be knackered or skip it and focus on shorter runs rebuilding distance at no more than 10%/week over the next 3 months? I know the answer but..........

    Hi guys,

    What: Rest day (scheduled).
    Why: Always rest Tuesdays and have our property management company AGM tonight.
    Last hard: Yesterday - 5 miles steady as I didn't manage Sunday's long run. Felt good though as I worked out afterwards that about 80% of the route is uphill (although slight in places) and I managed all the steep uphill sections without a problem. Whole run took just under 40 minutes.
    Last rest: Sunday (forced by over-indulgence on Saturday night and social arrangements on Sunday).

    Have a good day everyone. Hope it all goes OK, Stickless - you're looking good. Keep up with the cross-training, Martin: am sure it will pay off.

    Hello all!

    What: Rest.
    Why: No time to do anything else, unless tossing pancakes counts as training (which it does for one Brummie nutter, who is going to run the FLM while tossing a pancake).
    Last hard day: Yesterday was a long time on my feet.
    Last rest day: Friday.
  • Options
    Stickless,
    nice one! Great to see you're getting out.

    What: 10M fartlek with club.
    Why: Weekly exercise-induced vomiting session.
    Last hard run: Tonight for sure.
    Last rest day: Monday.
  • Options
    What: Nothing!!
    Why: Buggered everything up today....got stuck in traffic going to work so couldn't use the lunch time as normal and I'm flying out to Kenya tonight..luckily there's a gym at the hotel so it's the treadmill for me for the rest of the week.

    Last hard: I suppose yesterday
    Last rest: Friday

    Won't be posting for the rest of the week. Plan 2 20 miler on Sunday.

    Good luck all,

    RB

    P.S. More power to you Marj!!!

    Training update.

    Forgot we had afternoon off (Faschings Dienstag here in Germany - no I don't know either), so managed to get out for an hour on bike in lovely spring sunshine over really hilly route (average speed 24 kmh, max 65kmh!) interestingly HR at top of uphill sections hitting 177 which is about my half-marathon race pace. Who said cross training was easy.

    >>>Oh, dear! I think we are at risk of losing our Martin to the Cycling World forums :-( <<<

    See what I wrote above? Well, I was telling fibs. I managed a 4-mile recovery run at lunchtime, and it was very nice. I've done so many long ones recently that it was quite fun to sneak in a little 40-minute excursion when I should have been at my desk.

    Not that I know whether it really was a recovery run or not, since I don't use a HRM. But "recovery run" sounds like what dinosaurs who want to run good marathons ought to do as an alternative to sitting around picking their noses on rest days.

    hi all. my first post on training thread for 2 or 3 weeks. Have had 3 weeks off with knee injury but returned to training last week in the hope of still making FLM. I think it's good news as i ran 4 times last week with no reaction. Longest run is a 1/2M back in January but have 14 and 20 mile runs planed for next couple of weeks. As for today...

    what : nowt
    why : rest
    last hard : yesterday's 6.5 miles steady pace
    last rest : saturday

    it's good to be back.

    Paul.

    Best wishes for next week Stickless.

    Have a good trip to Kenya Ratbag, are you really doing 20 miles on the treadmill??

    What: 6 miles recovery. (surely GP's never pick their noses Vrap? Another illusion shattered.)
    Why: Oh, I don't know.
    Last hard: hill reps too many to think about last night.
    Last rest: Sunday.

    Happy Pancake Day by the way.

    Hi all,

    what: 10 k with the Rowing club,
    Why : Planned and i get to try out my new trainers which arrived today.
    Last Hard Weekend
    Last rest : Friday

    Not doing any hard sessions this week as the training at the weekend felt harder than it should have. Trying to let the legs recover so I don't burn out before the big races coming up. Race this Saturday as well but not an important one? (if there is such a thing)
  • Options
    Stickless - sounds like you had a good session, well done. good luck for next week.

    Laura - glad to see you using the "recovery" word once in a while. 15 hills repeats!!!!????? ouch.

    what: 2M warm-up; 6 x 1K @ 5K pace; 1M warm-down
    why: easier speed session with Reading looming this w/e - and I twisted my bl@@dy ankle at work yesterday so I'm a bit crocked. how stupid is that?! running injuries you expect, coming-down-the-stairs-in-too-much-of-a-hurry-to-get-home injuries you don't.
    last rest: yesterday
    last hard day: Sunday
