Gobi - well done
PSC - have fun tonight
feeling tired and didn't want to get out of bed! Had to force myself out for a run, waited till the middle of the day so there was some sunshine, which was nice. My body wasn't very willing and I ended up walking the last few miles, but 10 miles done. Think the kettlebells on Friday left my legs a bit tired!
No SOC for me today as I was doing my first "proper" mtb race. I have done 3 others since I started training a bit off road training in mid 2014 - 12hr pair 8hr 4 and 1 round of a short course series but this was the first focused effort.
Came 6th which surprised me rather a lot
Never used a rower before so not sure if my time/distance was any good. Thanks again for the tip
Morning gang! Bloomin cold here.
Morning you lot
Lots to catch up on then. Morning psc
Cold when out, white out so could see in distance, which was good. Feet crunching on the icy snow
NW: 5 snow men, 2 foxes, 1 cyclist, 1 runner, 1 owl, 2 robin red breasts.
Shower and coffee
Back later
evening
Gobi - what you done to your legs? Or just from a lot of use?
Nothing for me this morning but heading off to spinning and insanity soon.
Can't waiting get up to your standards Gobi but at the same time dreading it lol
haha, I will never be at Gobi's standard....
Me neither! Very sore today after my muddy 9 miler yesterday (yes, there's plenty of mud in London if you know where to look!) Achilles and hip are grouchy. After purchasing Kelly Starrett's Ready to Run (he of MobilityWOD) I've started doing a lot of mobilisation work so I did a bit at 3am because I couldn't go back to sleep, then off to gym for squats and spin at 9 followed by Bikram yoga at 12.30. Very bloody sore now. Not sure if I'll be up for my Tuesday run. Don't want to make things worse - another 10K at the weekend. We'll see how I feel in the morning.
Evening all - swim this morning, video analysis again to try and sort my issues out. Was really good, in an outdoor pool though, lovely when I was in with the water at 30 degrees, didn't hang around on the edge too long. 6 mile run and spin tonight. Forecast in minus 7 overnight so 24 layers ready to go.
Morning
Still a snow covered West of Scotland. So more crunching along when out. Can see for miles with the current 'white out'.
NW: 1 owl, 6 or 7 snowmen, 1dog, 1 cyclist. 1 fox, 1 Kingsmill Van,
Morning all - no snow yet, but minus 6. Swim this morning, staying in London tonight so hopefully a run there later. SMW - snowman watch this morning then birky?
I trained last night at the gym and done a five mile run (my furthest non-stop distance so far, followed this up with some upper body weights (first time I have done weights too) I feel fine this morning and feel I could do it again tonight, but don't want to do more damage than good! Can anyone throw some light on the best way to move forward with my training. I know that's quiet a general question and we are all different body builds and stuff, but maybe just as a general guide line. Your advice is very appreciated.
Thank you, Toby
MtB race at the weekend hurt
Legs are mine again so rode last night and then again this morning.
Water bottle got ice chilled inside 20 mins from being in a warm hotel room. Not frozen but was heading that way
tj. I am a coach what are yiur goals?
Trouble is i really don't know where to start or how to train, I read tons online which gives me a rough idea but a lot of it seems to be geared towards people who's circumstances maybe are not the same as mine.
Thank you for taking the time out Gobi, proper info guided at me from someone who knows is just what I'm aafter. I would be happy to pay for training if I could find someone local
I can reply better there and do more digging
regards
Hi all *waves*
Just lurking for a while as i'm so busy at the moment with work.
Track session last night held on the road as the track was in use by the military - so not really a track session. Good workout though.
Club swim tonight at the military pool.
A'noon
Kate: SMW (Snowman watch): Yeah I like it
Run around Hyde Park done. Flatness is a novelty! RAHW (Royal Albert Hall) 1.
evening
rest day for me today. Snow forecast for tonight, I am thinking that maybe tomorrow morning will be ok to run on the fresh snow but not the day after when it will have compacted and become really icy. Guess I can always go home and jump on the turbo if it is too icy
Took a rest day as well - calves are still hammered from Sunday and, with my history of injuries and another 10K on Sunday, I tend to err on the side of caution these days. Did a bit of mobility work at home and then a yoga class. Back to school tomorrow.
Morning you lot
Off out now into the snowy white out. Will do a snowman watch report when I get back
Back later
