What - 4AM / 6PM Why - Recovery Day Last Hard - The wind at the weekend Last Rest - Wed 25th
Haven't posted here for a bit the weekend was a double marathon in Dover. Day 1 3:06 and 2nd Windy conditions Day 2 3:20 and 1st Even windier Good weekend
What: maybe a short run but not feeling good Why: weekend in UK was great, but was quite ill yesterday :S 5 km post accident pb on Saturday though Last hard: moving yesterday Lyrics: I think so...
LMH/Ale honest, I wasn't racing, kept under 85% MHR like a good boy on Sat and was even better behaved on Sunday. Plodded out a 58 at the 10k. It was horrible, windy, horizontal rain with some sleet/hail for good measure yet ironically I really enjoyed the jog with my running buddy who was really having a bad day at the office. I'd recommend the Calne race for anyone chasing a fast time, although the start and finish might wreck a pb. Lyrics: I'm of an age I have to say yes or be shot! What: Gentle 6ish Why: Ale told me to go careful (He is right of course!) Last hard: Last Thursday Last Rest: Last Tuesday
Emzap: Get better soon. Joe Hawk: Fabulous. LMH, keep us posted re-targets. Have a great day all.
Hiya, Joe - good work on the double mara SC - solid effort too RFJ - yep, Overton-Combe Gibbet-Overton what - possibly 3 miles easy later why - see if I can still run last hard - yesterday last rest - Saturday Surprisingly I think my legs are in better shape than they usually are after a marathon. Combination of the extra miles and 'easier' pacing perhaps. Still knackered though, so pleased it's a short week!
Interesting course, Chick. I've done quite a bit of work on the behaviour management of children but very much on the "mental" side of things, although I have done some restraint training. I find that distraction techniques work the best (I used to head a unit for Behavioural, Social and Emotional Difficulties): "have you got new shoes/what do you think about Zayn leaving 1-D/is it true your mum's having a new baby?" (even when you have no idea whether they are or not!) tends to deflect them before you have to get to the physical stage.
Very interesting coz our coach's main profession is social worker dealing with criminal youths and kids with behavioural problems, so very similar to what you did.
Chicksta sounds interesting will you have regular lessons or is that it
TBH, it's too hard core. We had 2 injured people yesterday. They weren't injured in yesterday's class but during training the week before I love my running too much and don't want to jeopardise it by martial arts classes, interesting as they may be.
what: something very short given the weather and my sore muscles why: only 2 more days in March and I will have run every day this month last hard: other people's limbs yesterday last rest: 26/2 lyrics: yes
Decided to take your advice, LMH, and the legs are having an evening off! Only one more day working until the 20th April! Should be able to get a few decent long runs in, although will be working around finishing off mum's house clearance and two three night breaks in France and Spain!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
I know its a cheeky plug but it's for a whole years effort and there is no way I'm ever going to do anything like this ever again. After this year it will be very much back down to a normal'ish number of marathons (twenty or so )

Morning.
Yesterday's lyrics - Tired by Adele.

Nice miles Dustin.
Not every day can be our day Donaldo and lots of thing scan make the difference as to whether it is or not.
Maybe it was something in the air then Alehouse? Hopefully they'll both work today.

Hiya,
Joe - good work on the double mara
SC - solid effort too
RFJ - yep, Overton-Combe Gibbet-Overton
what - possibly 3 miles easy later
why - see if I can still run
last hard - yesterday
last rest - Saturday
Surprisingly I think my legs are in better shape than they usually are after a marathon. Combination of the extra miles and 'easier' pacing perhaps.
Still knackered though, so pleased it's a short week!
Enjoying it is what it's about SC. Will do re the targets.
Well done Wabo and emzap with the 5ks. Hope you feel better emzap.
Nice running Joe. Congratulations on the win.
Your legs are getting tough Dustin.
Take it easy yourself Alehouse if the legs don't feel good. My Garmin locked on fine this morning - is refusing to download any history now.
Hope you have a good run Pammie.
SC: you give me hope that I may still get the odd PB going forward
Wow, Joe. How many marathons will you be doing this year?
Very interesting coz our coach's main profession is social worker dealing with criminal youths and kids with behavioural problems, so very similar to what you did.
TBH, it's too hard core. We had 2 injured people yesterday. They weren't injured in yesterday's class but during training the week before I love my running too much and don't want to jeopardise it by martial arts classes, interesting as they may be.

why: only 2 more days in March and I will have run every day this month
last hard: other people's limbs yesterday
last rest: 26/2
lyrics: yes

Decided to take your advice, LMH, and the legs are having an evening off! Only one more day working until the 20th April! Should be able to get a few decent long runs in, although will be working around finishing off mum's house clearance and two three night breaks in France and Spain!
Lyrics, of course!
