Last hard: yesterday's parkrun
Last rest Friday
Lyrics no
OH, its the Dunoon Ultra for me on Saturday. I know what you mean about completing, its definitely the primary goal but looking at the last two years times, I feel I could get into the top 3.
Intending to start slowly, get up and over the major climb in the first 14 miles then take it from there!
Good luck to all racers today. I managed a 7.3 mile run, felt great, easy pace.
Lyrics, maybe.
away all last weekend at Equinox 24, in a team of 8 and we managed 3 x 10k laps each (mine were quite slow) but kept going.
Good bonus on the comeback yesterday at parkrun with a 22:20, so starting to get back to normality.... folowed by 7m today.
Physio and Docs still not 100% sure what the cause is.... more tests needed but body is responding to exercises.... bizarre.
Have an interview in Swindon on Weds as commute is still hurting me .....
Thanks and take care all.
Benjy You do make me smile I imagine you were Don Corleon from the Godfather:-)
What: 5.5 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard : Past 7 week and all aches and pains
Lyrics: I do believe it is a yes.
I managed 34 miles for the last week over 6 days so very happy with that.Still awaiting my own legs to return to me;-)
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Race report: Allegedly 1400 plus signed up. Not many from the club -despite it being a Forest of Dean Half Marathon -as it's organised by the Rotary Club -not us - and many members raced last week in Bristol or are racing next week in Cardiff Having been to Belfast and missed a good time by being an idiot -forgetting Garmiin and with an eye to Paris I decided it was going to be a steady training run - nothing more. As I was not going to be pushing and it was a wee bit breezy with only 8 degrees showing I layered up. (Hate being cold) It's an undulating route with over 900 feet of elevation gain so it was a case of play to the watch - go steady - have fun and I did. No rain and the sun was hiding so it was easy to keep cool. Lots of support out on the course - especially from club memebers. Settled into 8's (ish) and just kept going. Worst of the big ups are in the first half but here's a long steady drag from 10 to the finish. Not arduous - just relentless. The field spread out very early and I was surprised how good it felt running free most of the time. Picked a few people to play mind games with and happily just kept reeling people in all the way round to finish in 1:43 and 164/????. Rogue Runs were giving instant readouts. Very happy with that and not a blip in sight. Maybe I should race more as training runs :-)
Lyrics: Been in that song too many times :-)
What: Fun run
Why: Prepping for Paris
Last hard: Sleeping last night
Last Rest: Forgotten already.
Hope LMH has a good journey and keeps in touch Later all
