What: 13 mile tempo run
Why: schedule says so
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: Friday
i shall try some fartlek
Yesterdays session on the bike reinfoced what was said on my thread on cycling the other day - i.e. that as a runner I have a lot of stamina but for cycling I lack the power. Yesterday I found getting out of the saddle towards the top of hills really tough (and it was this that pushed my HR into the high 170's). Still it gives me a target.
Today: Focus on rowing with some easy spinning on indoor bike.
Why: I believe its possible to over-compensate with cross training and four days of cycling has left my legs feeling a little tired.
Last rest: Thursday
Last hard: Yesterday.
V-rap - picking up your note from yesterday, like being an alcoholic "once a runner always a runner" I just don't happen to be running at the moment. Running will always be my number one sport.
MikeS - It was actually a work trip to Düsseldorf during fasching season four years ago that made us decide to move here - i.e. realising that actually the Germans do like to have fun. Fortunately I have never had my tie cut but I've never had the payoff either!
Thats it really , must increase my mileage again this month
what: nothing
why: as ordered by coach at Wirral session last night. Feel q knackered anyway. Just hope I don't slide backwards into illness once more. Fingers crossed...
last hard day: Tue
last rest day (of many): Sat
What: Pool exercises, after a long absence. Oh my. And I've got Pilates class later on today.
Really good rest yesterday after my run. Numb bits no longer numb. Looking forward to tomorrow's run, daydreaming about where I'll go.
What - fartlek for me as well, I think. I was going to do my long run today, as I'm busy for the rest of the week and have visitors at the weekend, but it's peeing down with rain, cloudy and windy, and I'm feeling pathetic.
Last hard - Saturday
Last rest - ages ago.
good luck with the fartlek, benz!
Mike - sounds like you're being v. sensible, hope the recovery keeps up.
Stickless - glad to hear you came through OK. have a good one tomorrow!
what: just done ~10M "recovery" in 1:07
why: taking it a bit easier this week
last rest: Monday
last hard: yesterday
Martin, pleased to hear it!
Marj, glad yesterday has left you feeling better rather than worse. Have a good session today. And everyone else, of course.
What: Either a 5-mile fartlek run this afternoon or three miles of treadmill intervals in the evening, depending on time. Then BodyPump and a short swim.
Why: It's Wednesday and today's is the one session that won't be sacrificed to the taper for Reading.
Last rest day: Friday.
Last hard day: Monday.
Why: It's convenient
Last rest: yesterday
Last hard: Sunday - race
I feel refreshed again for the first time in about 2 weeks. I think my take it easier plan has finally paid off. Probably a good job as a tough session at the rowing club tonight that I'd really like to take part in. Last nights 10 k run was really comfortable and done at a conversational pace until about 1k from the end. I also got to try out my new shoes, very impressed too.
What : 3 x 2000m on the indoor rower
Why : first time I've ever done this session but the coach seems to think it's a good idea. (sickness and pain spings to mind by the end
Last Rest: Friday
Last Hard: The weekend.
I'm getting bitten by the running bug and I really want to enter a race some time in the next 3 months.
What: 6 - 7 Miles steady
Why: Schedule says so.
Last Rest: Monday
Last Hard: Sunday
Last Long: Sunday
Go for it Rob enter away!!!
What: 8mi steady
Last hard: Sun
Last rest: yesterday
crashed & Burned the treadmill interval session yesterday in favour of club nite doing 6 * 3minute hill laps hitting upto 97% MaxHR - nearly became a v***ting session BUT the GOOD NEWS was that my knee was OK.
Today:
what: recovery X-train at gym
Why: must manage milage increase on knee
last hard day : yesterday
last rest : Mon
One day, one day I'll post a double digit milage again.....
What: 3 miles steady
Why: Scheduled
Last hard: Sunday
Last Rest: Saturday
What: Rest.
Why: Club last night, raced Sunday, feel knackered. Overslept bigtime this morning. I must have been comatose all night, cos I have some impressive bed crease marks down the left side of my face!
Hard: Last night.
Rest: Monday.
Run well, runners. And lots of sympathy for the sick and wounded.
what: something easy. Recovery run
why: knackered
last hard:yesterday
rest:Saturday
have a good day!
Sounds like your training's going a storm now Vrap. Hope you haven't given up too many goodies for Lent.
Sfh legs, really pleased to hear you ran without knee pain again.
Don;t work too hard Kompass Cath.
What: 6 miles steady first thing.
Why: supposed to be 9=10 mile mid week long run but not enough time today. Hopefully will do me good to have 2 easy days on the trot.
Last hard: still those hill reps.
Last rest: Sun.
Bye for now.
what-30min easy trot then swim tonight for a change
why-why not?
last hard-monday
last rest-a bit back
Enjoy !!
Anyway....
What: 40-50 minute hill run (still reeling from the fartlek session on Monday)
Why: Set a new schedule this week (I WILL get a 42 minute 10k)
Last hard: That old fartlek session on Monday
Last rest: Sunday
Hey ho.
Anyway ...
What: Either 4 mile tempo run, or 3.6 mile hilly fartlek (hard up the hills, recover in between).
Why: Depends how knackered I feel when I get home. In work early all this week, so up early too. I could never be one of these early morning runners: I simply don't have the energy first thing.
Last hard: Monday's five-miler.
Last rest: Yesterday.
Have a good day one and all!
well its a good job I decided to have this as easy week, because due to unforeseen circumstances I didn't make speed session last night. However continuing with the easy week theme (before the last big push to the FLM)...
What : rest day
Why : its easy week
Last Hard : over a week ago
Last Rest : yesterday.
Although I am training, doing the mind exercises suggested in runners world. Yes one day I'll be able crack open a beer and bring to myself telekinetically without even getting off the settee, (or something like that!)
What: scheduled 10km steady run. Beautiful evening, makes you glad to be alive.
Tomorrow: supposed to be 17km with 12km pace run.
What: nothing
Why: my knee has been hurting since my 18M on Sat (Sun I could hardly walk)
Last Hard: Sat
Last Rest: yesterday
Going to a physio as it hasn't healed as quickly as I would want. Feel a bit discouraged as it looks I'll miss Reading, but my real, and only goal is FLM so as long as everything's fixed by then I'm ok.
Mind you, it feels very strange to rest and not to train... it's kind of addictive isn't it? (as is posting here)
What: Nothing
Why: Weekly rest day timed to coincide with work commitments
Last hard: Yesterday's fartlek
Last rest: Last Thursday
Simon
What:10 miles including 10*3 mins fast, 3 mins easy. Fast reps were done at a pace faster than 5k and I certainly wouldn't have been able to hold the pace longer than 3 mins. A good tough session.
Why:planned session was 5*1 mile reps, but the weather was grim and didn't fancy running round in circles,
Last hard:tonight
Last rest:yesterday
Did my 4k reps but I reckon RW were having a laugh when they said each should take 10:30 mins, unless I've read it wrong hang on I'll check- yes it deffinately says that the ba***rds. Well they had no chance today and I cut the last one a km short because I'd had enough.
Why: too much rest, lunchtime slot and was due some speed work
Last hard: today
Last rest: yesterday
5 miles total, 4 miles fartlek, including, wait for it------up to 11 POINT 5 kph
Very fast for a hippo
But lots of walk breaks, wheezy!
