Morning all What - steady lunchtime Why - recovery last rest - from running about a month ago, but two weeks off work was restful... last hard - Saturday's track: 4x200 off 45s, 2m30 rest, 6x300 off 60s, 2m30 rest, 4x200 off 45s
Ale: I wish we had rain ... Saturday's thunderstorms were welcome but it's back to being 32-34 degrees again.
Track session sounds a bit ouch, Dustin
Body was behaving so happy to report another 15 miler done. Good start to the week apart from some tosser nicking the water bottle I'd hidden in the grass. Why would anyone do this? At first I thought it was the post IM clean-up brigade but random empty crisp and cigarette packages were still dotted around.
SINGING IN THE RAIN!! great lyrics alehouse.. enjoy the fitness suite dustin have a good steady, weather bit dull now but should be nicer then lmh I love your comment I like to move it move it! Enjoy your short, don't go taper crazy lol WP nice miles in that weather yesterday and a good start, even if late, to the week Chick nice quick 5k Sunday, I hope the legs and back allow something good today
oh and I both opted out of ride London, me 46 which I deferred, him 100 he couldn't defer. Feel really bad for him as he raised money but he said it just looked to be treacherous! I did not disagree at all. He now has to find a 100 (there are loads) over the next few weeks to justify the charity sponsorship. Did a hilly off road 5 miles instead which was nice What: 3 miles with oh later hopefully why: he enjoyed yesterday so much last hard: yesterday last rest: 31/12/16
Have a nice day all
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
Glad you were able to get out and run despite your issues Poppy.
Could it have been the IM clean up crew and the other stuff was left as 'general litter' chicksta? Now and again some well meaning person has put a bottle I've left in the nearest bin. Two weeks until my half, I want to keep my miles down to about sixty this week and forty next. Glad you were able to get your MLR in.
I'm glad you had a good holiday Dustin.
Enjoy your run on the a-g treadie Alehouse.
It certainly wasn't a nice day for it Wabo.
The rain stopped and the sun came out as I ran which was nice, made it harder to keep the run short mind but I did and was rewarded with another speedy run.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.
AWOL guys...soz..immersed in Monmouth Festival until Saturday. Reasonable parkrun at the weekend but life on hold for 9 days. Will try to lurl and see how you are all doing. Stay strong and off the bench. Best wishes
Ale: Bloody Nora! I thought it was James Bond theme (it fits). Busy day of activity there, commendable.
Welsh: I'm not surprised it was tough, you have been putting in some long miles without time for leg muscles to refresh (would be the case for me). Good going today on top of your recent miles, truly remarkable.
Chicksta: Great miles there! And regarding water bottle, I thought it was just me that has hidden a water bottle on long country routes (where there are no shops), sorry to hear it got pilfered, but relieved that it isn't just me that does this. I'll do anything to avoid carrying something.
LMH: Top marks on a speedy run. If you say it was speedy then to somebody like me it would indeed be double speedy.
Wabo: I don't really undestand the bike event, do you have to accrue miles or time over a series of events? Top marks on the hilly 5. Love hills.
Dustin: Glad you had a good holiday break, hope the lunchtime was a good chance to get out today.
SC: Hope spirits are high.
Been super busy today, about to bob out for a run of undetermined distance/time minimum is 6 but will see if I can make it 8, just see what I get chance for, got to see a man about a dog at 7pm.
What: A run of some descript
Why: Monday is an office day, got to get out or will go stir crazy
Lyrics: James Bond theme? If I keep saying it, it might come up one day, monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare come to mind.
Just wondering which James Bond theme starts with doo-dloo or whatever!
What: went to the fitness suite as planned a.m. A-g treadmill p.m. 1/3 mile at 8 min mile pace @ 85% bodyweight 1/3 mile at 7 min pace @ 85% 2 miles at 6 min pace @ 90% 1/3 mile at 7 min pace @ 90% i.e. a couple of minutes recovery 1 mile at 5:40 pace @90% 2/3 mile at 7 min pace @90% Total: 4.68 miles in 30 mins. Comfortably hard
Why: fighting the flab and injury
Spent a good deal of time moving things and then some decorating. Back now aches!
Progress is rarely a straight line. There are always bumps in the road, but you can make the choice to keep looking ahead.
hi benjy, ride London was just a 100 mile bike ride that was on yesterday. we've entered a new one now, 22/9 chiltern , I'm intrigued to see if anyone knows your bond theme. Ah I see now re the bike thing, basically he has raised money for Scope and so people who have sponsored him now see he hasn't done anything. Thats why he wants to find another ride, make sense? wow alehouse, i dont get the a-g but even so!!!!
I did a lovely forest 3 miler with a mate tonight 2 races this week lmh....
possunt quia posse videntur - we can because we know we can
