Wednesday 2nd May 2018 - Sometimes you need to be alone
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Sometimes you need to be alone
How long ago was your hernia repair Benjy? I think it's normal to be hyper-aware of these things for a while, I certainly am when I've been out with an injury. Certainly sounds as though the speed will come out when you need it to.
Wet and windy here this morning. I'm tired and I can feel the upper body work I did in the gym with the PT yesterday so I think in a seldom seen move I'm going to ditch today's short and easy run in favour of a swim - even though I have a coffee and cake date later as I'm underemployed.
What: probably a swim/sauna
Why: sensible/lazy/wimp?
Last hard: getting back into my normal running
Last rest: 28/4

Lyrics: no
What: may have a short run/walk. Plus stretches particularly Achilles
Why: being sensible about the return to running.
Working this morning so hopefully the rain will have passed over before I consider any exercise!
AH: Hope you manage a run of sorts if it seems right.
What: Got some spare time this morning, so it's a Ten from Ben. I think a run around sea drive to Holbeck Hill where the hotel famously fell in to the sea (and back)
Why: I just want to
Lyrics: Familiar, will decide later
Lyrics update: No
Rubbish here, wet, windy and cold.
LMH: Enjoy your swim and a safer bet than outside running :-)
Benjy: Enjoy the 10 from you today hope the weather God's are kind to you.
What: 5 miles
Why: Weather
Last hard: The rain and wind and wading through above ankle lake in the woods.
Lyrics: nope
Boy that was wet and windy so glad I opted for a shorter run today:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Why - need to get on sea as kayaking weekend later this month.
Lyrics no
A bit greyer here, but still reasonably mild. Hoping to avoid the wet stuff though.
What - steady lunchtime run. coaching tonight
Why - getting back to some form of routine. Outer shin muscle really sore - apparently a common after effect of race walking. More stretching!
last rest - 16/04
last hard - Monday
Meant to say I did quite a bit of race walking from mid-teens to about 22: gave it up because it really hammered my shins. Was probably a better walker than a runner, comparatively...only because no-one else did it!
That's a pain Alehouse.
Hope you can settle it quickly Dustin.
Because of the weather OH?
RFJ thats a nice thing for the local clubs to do
LMH sensible I'd say
alehouse hope you get a nice short run/walk in, what a pain about work!
benjy - nice one on the 10
WP hope you had a good 5
Dustin well done on the new sport pb, when I have trained for moonwalk I get that same pain at first
what: tai chi &pressups done, run later with OH, yes again!!
why: felt so tired this morning
last hard: getting up today
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all, hope this drizzle stops soon
Rained early morning, but blew over. Dry but blustery at present.
What: 3.5k off road, on the banks of the Mersey. 21 minutes.
Why: MLR? Got to start somewhere. Progressive, except for the last 500. The pace overall was slightly slower than I would expect to run my long runs at. Going to be a long time before I feel comfortable on any runs, I suspect. Have tried to keep a semblance of fitness with cross training, but it is simply not the same as running!
Assembly League tomorrow, anyone?
What: DK 10K
Why: it's in the race calendar
Last hard: I think this may be it! Think I may be swimming round it too, though the torrential rain is interspersed with bright sunshine so I may be lucky!
Lyrics: nope
Meant to say well done Dustin on the new-found hobby and PB
Ben sounds like a nice run.
RFJ that's a nice gesture.
Ale slowly slowly
Chick how's Mr Chick doing?
Have a lovely day all.
Hope the weather clears and you have a good run emzap.
Rain been and gone in a very windy Wiltshire.
Lyrics: Not a clue
What: 2 hours plus on the bike attacking the hills out around Longleat, saw two rhinos today. There are not too many people in the UK who can say that about their daily ride!
Why: Because I alternate run / bike
Last Hard: last nights club run, after two years of virtually no running its hard work getting back to any semblance of fitness. But after two months it is coming and most K's start with a 5 again!.
Last Rest: A wee while
Had almost two years out with stress fractures and other medical issues. Ended up 25kg over my running weight. At the beginning of March grabbed bull by the horns and went for it, only 12kg over weight now! Have entered Poole 1/2M at the beginning of June, as I have only run 20 times in two years that seems like quite a challenge, well it did until I ran a 52 min 10K with the club last night and realised I can still run.
Will try to catch up with what everyone is up to.
And enjoy tonight, Emz!
You too also Ale 3.5k after everything you have and are currently going through pretty impressive. Off-road, on uneven surfaces? could be a bit jarring on the back?
SC: This one for you, last night our group at TKD, we have the muscle memory for stances, hand positions for blocks etc now firmly in place, so we were doing contact pad work to focus on power in the blocks with the hip twists and getting the belt moving, to get that in muscle memory. Long and short of this in my morning run today, started doing the hip twists (although not as obvious as in TKD) in my strides. Found it worked really well in getting my strides moving a bit more powerful and getting a steady gliding pace. Just an oppurtunity to use transferable skills and experiment.
Did my ten earlier this morning, absolutely soaked, even with a wicking running shirt it was that sodden it was heavy and like a cheese grater on the nips, ouch there now. The really strong wind made itself present to just to mock me in my plight. Then 1hr 15mins later after finishing, rain stops, wind drops sun shining very warm all dried up as though it never happened.
Looking forward to the track session report, OH! Shame about the kayaking!
Repeat until complete.
Ok
4 x 400m warmup
12 x 400m Fartlek (29:36)
Very undulating. Got to 5km in 24:48 and finished in an as yet unofficial 50:13. Got stuck behind someone in a single file bit a the end!
Feeling great!
Now sleep
Impressive weight loss and programme DD. Keep it going. Steady as usual Dustin. Shame about the kayaking OH. How was your exercise LMH? WP: good miles again
Following an okay for.est mile on Tuesday night at the club (6.30) I was looking forward to the second Hereford 5k but...HR hiccough in 2nd click for two minute SVT timeout Thoughts of beating last months 21.30 flew away. Settled on 24. Hmm
What: 5k series at Hereford
Why; I'd entered
Last hard: Having to stop tonight
Last Rest: Sunday
