Monday 16th April 2018 - You're always welcome
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - You're always welcome
To stop on by
chicksta - I tried Imodium this time:-( I'm not surprised that the travelling is wearing you out. Are your parents due to stay there for much longer?
Sounds as though you're seeing progress already Gobi.
That was quite a long run for a week out Dustin - easing up now? How did your club mates do yesterday? Did they enjoy the race?
That sounds like good news all round then SC:-)
What: will see how I feel after walking Grace, short and easy or a swim I expect
Why: I've got to keep on moving - and will be sat at work this afternoon
Last hard: moving my legs as fast as I'd have liked yesterday
Last rest: 13/4
Yesterday's lyrics - Praise You by Fatboy Slim.

Well done LMH on a cracking race ! enjoy the easy run today:-)
Gobi: Well done on walking and hope you see the three months fly by.
What: Run
Why: Because I can
Last hard: dragging old bones out of bed
Lyrics:I believe so
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
I am off the codine now but damn I hurt today
Morning
LmH - plan said 13 for 1 week back. Had arranged a run for the village group so plenty of different paces. For me there was some stop start and looping back, so averaged a relaxed 9:15 pace.
Three from my club ran Boston, one guy ran his fastest time for 15-20 years (3.24), our V55 lady ran a pb of 4.07 and another V50 lady ran her second marathon in an improved time.
Will catch up with them tomorrow.
for me - easy / rest + QoP tonight
Why - last week/iron out the creases
last rest - 15/12
last hard - Wednesday
lyric - possibly
Take it easy, Dustin! And Benjy! (I know LMH and Gobi will!)
What: fitness suite and some walking
Why: taking it easy until I get the all-clear to run
Lyrics: no
What: A few miles easy
Why: Hills yesterday are smiling through my legs today!
Last Hard: TKD Sat
Last Rest: Last Thursday
Lyrics: Nope
Advice please guys. Effectively outside of parkrun I am not racing but running anything over that as a training run, including 10k's and halves. Should I taper or crack on before the next half in Madrid? Bit of a conundrum when I am "not allowed" to race. Effectively the longer runs are being used to build base mileage and reduce HR over time and it has bee working so I will get slightly faster but it's a slow process so this is new territory and I don't know who to talk to.
Alehouse - my legs are in much better condition than they should be which supports my 'couldn't get out of third gear' feeling about yesterday. I took my new NB trainers out for a run and was rewarded with an enjoyable progressive six miles. I hope it won't be much longer until you can get back to running.
Hope the QoP doesn't inflict too much pain upon you Dustin.
Too bad the Imodium didn't work or rather worked the opposite way ...
Luckily mum and dad are coming home on Wednesday, just in time before we leave for Vienna on Friday.
SC: What LMH said. If you feel you need a little break, reduce mileage. If you feel good doing what you do, carry on. That's my motto these days.
What: 11 miles
Why: I was lazy at the weekend
Last hard: all the driving
Last rest: 18/3
Lyrics: no, but kicking myself about yesterday's which of course I knew. D'oh.
SC: what LMH says. I would have written pretty much the same.
Good news, Chick!
All a bit strange, LMH! You really shouldn't be feeling that comfortable this morning!
Worked quite hard on the exercise bike plus single leg press work for the Achilles. Hope to walk a few miles later.
I blame your stomach LMH as progressive 6 post mara means you had juice in the tank. Big well done and onwards to next one. If I'm playing up in the stomach dept I double immodium, night before and morning of. Worked for me :-)
What: 7km rather fun but treacherous in places trail run along a mallorcan coastal path.
Why: making the most of my mini break
Last hard: not looking down in parts and the sore calf I woke up with.
Lyrics: nope
Just about able to sit in the sun now, though got soaked on my run. It's windy though a it's a jumper on- jumper off every few minutes type of day!
Lmh you did very well yesterday, especially given how much that virus knocked you about. To run well today as well is just amazing!
Ale how's the back today?
Had a short nap and calf is much better so may check out the gym later (or pool but I don't think I'm brave enough today!)
Have a lovely day all
LMH, well done you and P. As always I am full of admiration for you.
Donaldo hope the move went well
WP, hope hubby is ok, ouch!
emzap your run today sounds good!
alehouse, good work going on, hope you have a nice walk!
I've run after the marathon, but usually only a mile, wow!
Dustin, enjoy QoP??/
Gobi ouch I bet you hurt
what: hopefully 3 miles later
why: painted two doors and bought a season ticket t his morning so no time
Last hard: yesterday 3 miles off road with my non running OH who leaves me standing
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
7.2 miles early this afternoon, quicker than usual at 51 minutes. I really need to slow things down over the next two weeks, I am my own worst enemy at tapering. Felt great today and its quite warm, which was nice ?.
Lyrics, nope.
Back off, Don!
SC: I would be looking at running quite a bit slower in training! I suspect LMH might be in the same camp! Until last June none of my training was faster than 5 minutes per k. Usually 5:30 to 5:45, off road except for one short faster session a week. Plus often a parkrun at a slightly faster but never full out session. Will be looking for slow miles in the legs if and when I ever start running again. And it will be a slow process, which is what I think you need. I would just run Madrid very much to feel and gradually pick people off as and when you feel like it. Rock and roll with it!
Hope you get some sun, Emz! Grey with the odd bit of drizzle here. Back feels fine during the day, but yet again was pretty grim during the night. Getting there!
Donaldo - I find that my runs naturally get faster through the taper, as long as the effort is the same (i.e. easy) I just go with the flow and enjoy the feeling. It shows me that the taper is working.
Most annoying Wabo - you'll have to enter him in a 10k:-)
SC - keep it easy and enjoy. Does taking the Imodium the night before not mean that you don't get to do the usual ablutions pre-race in the morning? I wouldn't like to be running full................
It's actually been quite nice here today emzap though breezy.
I must admit I was very surprised by this morning's run. I definitely knew I'd raced yesterday but things eased off very quickly, only lingering leg niggle seems to be my left ankle - which wasn't a problem until after I ran this morning, no idea what's going on there. Shoulder is the worse thing.
Well done LMH! That was excellent! Truly Excellent. Really impressive.
Chicksta that is good news
Sorry Ale, did a really steady slow 13.1 yesterday because it felt good and pleasent in the warmth of the mid-morning, bumped in to somebody else I know doing VLM so joined them for 5 or 6 miles ran at a good old natter pace.
What: Really nice weather, a gentle 6, pop down to the sea and back.
Why: It's Monday, Pavlov's dog
Last hard: Figuring out what kit bag and luggage involves for VLM
Lyrics: I really don't think so
Looks like I'll have to run sub 3h15 whether I like it or not now, and hope they put me in next year (25 years after my first London)
OL: all being well will be at Burnage on Saturday! Wonder what OH will be doing...
And definitely time to well and truly ease back, Benjy!
I wouldn't want to take imodium the night before either ... I do take two of them pre race with no issues. Everything is back to normal the next day
Did another 2.8 miles with Mrs Shaw tonight as her bodypump class was cancelled. No toilet stops, thankfully, I dont think she'd ever forgive me!!
healing vibes to those benching
run to club and a steady / slow run at club inc run home, a shade under 8m
Work continues to drain time and energy
Take care
