Morning.
Lyrics -
It's a coin toss, it's a game on
A two day taper sounds about right Donaldo Hope all is well with chicksta and she was just too busy to come back and tell us what she'd done.
We are forecast a warmer day today but it's grey at the moment.
What: easy miles/physio
Why: taper/maintenance
Last hard: tapering
Last rest: 4/5
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
Comments
Sorry, meant to post yesterday and fell asleep instead!
Did 19.5 km, meant to be 18, but must have measured route out a bit long. Felt good though I was reminded about how hilly it is round here!
What: circuits and the start of the wedding cake baking
Why: marathon training, plus I think something's happening tomorrow and Saturday (cakes are needed for Saturday).
Last hard: this whole month hasn't been easy. Luckily it's over tomorrow!
Lyrics: nope
Don which half are you doing?
LMH hoping it stays cool here. Having the oven on all day when it's hot is not pleasant!
Ale yay for MLR. Though 4 km is a lot more than a lot of people can do.
Have a lovely day all. I'm enjoying my last day of freedom
Em: Enjoy your last day of freedom:-) also cake baking etc:-)
LMH:Enjoy the easy miles and hope physio is no too ouchy today;-)
Ale: Great news on MLR!
What 11.05 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard: Sleeping and tired legs
Lyrics: Yes
Mileage for the month:223.79
Rest day: 2
I am so pleased it is all going so well:-) I saw a Heron and a Kingfisher this morning first time in a long while:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Dustin: Competition drives me on, during my 2.5 year absence there are many in the club who have gone past me, time to haul them back in but I do accept I'm very unlikely to run a sub 40 min 10K again (its been 5 years).
WP: You run some serious miles, do you ever do any speed work or hill reps?
Don: I'm going for the one day taper for my 1/2M on Sunday but then its not about time but building back the base for me.
EM: Have fun baking
AH: Your making progress in the right direction.
Chick: I take it your'e doing Berlin then, I'm considering Bournemouth in the Autumn. Seems like a long time since we did Boston. Do you ever hear from 2OTR?
What: A 1.5K swim done, some speed work tonight
Why: Wanted to see if I could still swim 1.5K straight, easily is the answer just need to speed up 36 mins is not good. Speed work tonight because its the club hill race tonight and I've git injured twice doing that so staying away!
Last Hard: Hammering the bike last night.
Lyrics: One day
Woke up feeling like death warmed up (stomach/sickness) so trying to figure out what I ate that disagreed with me. Supposed to be out tonight after work, but I'll see how that plays out as the day goes on, so had already factored in a non running day.
Just keep the fluids topped up, and may slink off early and go to sleep...
What are you baking for your wedding cake emzap? Hope it goes ok. Horribly muggy here.
Like you when I got back in the pool I found that distance was no issue DD, I was never fast and my shoulder will prevent me being even that good again if I tried but I can just keep plodding - a bit like my running really.
Hope you feel better soon Dustin. Not sure you should have dragged yourself into work.
Good going Poppy.
Sorry to hear about your Garmin issues Like LMH I had a Garmin 310xt and bought a light weight 230 it took me a while to get used to it.But I love it to bits easy to use uploads quickly locks onto satelites quick as well. I have had 4 garmin's before that it was the Timex GPS I much prefer the Garmin.
I hope you can retrieve your data!
DD: I can't do speed work or hill reps My achilles ruptured must 12 years ago and it hates them.I run easy miles and listen to my body and jolly grateful for what it can do:-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Very humid here which is messing with the buttercream!
Regarding watches, I've only had one Garmin and it's been going 8 years (it's starting to go though, the strap is breaking).
Hope all goes to plan tomorrow, Emz...and in the future!
re Garmins, quite strange but my 310XT seems to have died overnight as I can't get it to hold charge. Just done a full reset and it is on charge. Have a Tomtom 2 which I wear as an ordinary watch and for heart rate, but don't like it as much as the Garmin and it measures short.
What: short run plus exercise suite
Why: Thursday
Lyrics: no
why: thought I'd better run again
last hard: driving home from Skye
last rest: yesterday (didn't fancy track session)
lyrics: no
All the best for the morn Emzap
Emzap, its the Alloa Half on Sunday, postponed in March due to snow.
Poppy, never seen a Kingfisher, lucky you!
DD, have a good run on Sunday in your half.
Benjy, lol. Also, I love my Garmin Fenix 5X, its a beast I wont be changing for a while!
OH, looks superb.
Hoping to get out for at least 4.3 miles which would take me to 200 for the month, not bad coming off a marathon.
Lyrics, nope.
Beautiful pictures OH.
Has that sorted it Alehouse?
Hope you can get out for your run Donaldo.
Love my 310XT :-) works well most the time - looking at one of the polar ones though for my next buy....
a couple of recovery runs on Tues and today... now home after holidays in Edinburgh / Arran and Knaresborough.... :-)
Take care all
