in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - Lord God Almighty let me tell the news
That is a quality age category you're running in Donaldo! Well done.
I'm glad you had an enjoyable, incident free race RFJ.
Forecast to be warm here today and the wind has dropped which is nice. Once the boys have got up and we've walked Grace I shall get out for my run. I'm tired, my throat is sore and my legs feel heavy - taper already?
What: hopefully a MLR
Why: it's all downhill miles wise from here
Last hard: sleeping
Last rest: 4/5

Progression
Quiet!
Another hot and sunny day! Had rain for an hour or so around 8 yesterday evening but otherwise it has been hot...not that I have noticed! Marking inside in the cool since 7:30. Need a break!
What: short run/walk this pm
Why: getting back to things slowly. Very slowly!
Lyrics: no
SC: you like to run on the edge
RFJ: Good effort sir
Don: Your quick
WP: Good Miles
BB: Hangover? can do without them, the one blessing of age... wisdom!
LMH: Maybe time to back off
AH: Leave the marking alone for an hour
What: 2 hours on the bike out around Stourhead and Longleat, plenty of tourists at our stately homes today but the ones in between were empty.
Why: Tis Monday, I cycle on Mondays
Last Hard: yesterday
Lyrics: One day
Don't like being back at work
It was so much nicer to have no worries and being looked after... Slept really badly too in anticipation and also due to thunder/lightning in the wee hours of the morning. Plans was to get up early and get an MLR in, but weather put paid to that. I have a huge respect for thunderstorms.
Very good racing efforts both of you Don and RFJ. Ouch re. vest tan ...
WP: You're really putting the big miles in. What's your next race?
SC: Scary!!
Taper time, LMH. Take it easy.
ale: hope you get a break.
Benjy: glutton for punishment
What: 7 miles
Why: all I had time for
Last hard: sleeping and returning to work
Last rest: yesterday
Lyrics: yes
I feel your pain chicksta, it's bad enough going back after a week off.
Well raced Don & RFJ
LmH - went local (pub) on our wedding anniversary but we've got a reservation at a decent restaurant this Friday and out with friends (one of whom turned 50 earlier this month) on Saturday. Could be a heavy weekend...
what - 10 easy over the fields
why - muggy and bright and a day off
last rest - 12/05
last hard - Saturday
Up early this morning for a 3.5 jog to get the car after having a few pints with the Dunblane Runners last night - very social club. They raised over £4000 in the race and donated it to the Dunblane Centre, built in memory of the kids. A very generous club too. ?
Another 5.3 miles tonight in scorching heat.
Lyrics, nope.
If i have been living and training at high altitude say 2-3000m for a number of months and my race is at sea level. Should i go down (live/train) to sea level 2-3 weeks prior to the race to readjust for speed track work say and will i still retain the training effect of altitude-training or would the previous months altitude training have been diminished after a few weeks of soley being at sea level again?. If that is the case should i still be staying at high attitude until a few days before the race at sea level? Bit of a chicken and egg question. Hope it isn't too confusing, would be interested to know what you guys think. Many thanks
'scuse me I'm a beginner.
Does running a marathon involve putting your trainers on?
