Nice report and execution. Race sounds a great event I'll keep it in mind if I decide to go really events crackers next year!
Thanks for the well wishes / comments,
I ended up doing 90 mins on the turbo Saturday, zero sunday and thought sod it and run commuted 10.5 yesterday morning. Seemed alright, but quads have Doms today!! 40 mins easy offroad earlier on. Phys returning tomorrow afternoon to inflict pain on me!
WTG - not quite the regular short run plan then, but sounds like you are pretty well sorted now anyway.
13m run home tonight. 123m for the month, 135m to go.
More solid training there TR.
7.5M + 5M double for me leaves me needing 133. Really ought to do a few more MLRs instead of so many doubles. Unfortunately time constraints make them hard to fit in.
This time of year certainly makes the MLR more of an issue if you're not fortunate enough to work part time or shifts.
great miles both you and Jooligan for the targets, I'm going to fall short of 1k
Thanks LMH
8 miles ish this morning mix of trail and road / finding out that some of the trails I'd plotted on OS maps aren't passable / not findable in the dark
CW - hopefully all that booze will flush out yr niggle then, the boozing sounds tougher than run training.
Seeing as its 18 weeks til Brighton, ive been loosely looking at P and D, which would include a couple of mlr and a 10 with some 10M or 1/2 mara in it, plus a long run in the early weeks. After Christmas I'll bring in the BAC sessions (probably alternating with the 800 reps that the IM folks like Joe does). This weeks P and D had 10 with 4 hard in it, i cant get myself moving quick enough to run 1/2 mara pace in training, so I compromised with pushing a 6m section of my commute, which is a bit hilly early on, but i know i did it a few times around av 6.50 in March before i hurt my hammy. Today i did it av 6.47, which means im still fit- ish. Felt tough, but i suppose that's the idea. 10m in total. Im over halfway to the 258 required in Dec.
Running club Christmas social tonight - 20 x 1 min pushes then curry and beer!
So your week will consist of 3 main sessions - LR MLR and double figure with some tempo in there, and bits in-between? anything at marathon pace? (or will that be more ad hoc like the 6 miles you did on commute?)
about a month ago I started to write some plans based on a few elements from different plans, I'm going to pick that back up now mojo is reappearing.
TR - That looks a good sess, 6.47 is pretty swift and good to see the time per mile declining.
WTGY - Be consistently consistent now.
EE - Cheers - Malaga 2019, 30E to enter until 21/12.
3m easy earlier, legs feel surprisingly good.
More good news WTGY.
What happened to this downtime OuchOuch?
OO - agreed with your easy few weeks, get on the beer. I have a day off tomorrow so im having a few later!
Haven't been on for a while (very busy at work and at home), so only skimmed back I'm afraid.
Massive congrats to OO on a fantastic run and impressive sequence of marathon results. I'd love to have a go at lots of races like that but not feasible at the moment unfortunately.
Spotted a very nice 21M run by TR too, looks like it's coming together for you.
Jooligan - pretty solid 10k, and I would have thought you would go faster without a hard parkrun the day before?
Just ticking over here - decent track session on Tuesday evening but just short lunchtime runs apart from that. Another XC on Sunday, although we are going out on Saturday evening (I've missed all of our socials so far this year so looking forward to that) so I may not be on top form!
Padams - i'm on it like a car bonnet, that 3.01 is fuelling the fires.
Got a bit of a cold and don't want to get sucked into making every long run a 20 (or more), so i "only" did 18 today. But as padams said i must be getting stronger as i pushed on a bit in the last couple of miles and ended with a 6.3X mile, although it made my chest ache in the cold. 157m for the month so far, 101 needed, im going to try to achieve that by 24th, ready for a day off Christmas Day.
Good to read through the reports again..
Backing up what OO said (Great run btw) Malaga is a bit underrated as a city, I was there in Sept for the World masters. OO - I presume you ran round the new city track out near the arena. Not being in the UK - Malaga had three tracks plus one down the road in Torremolinos. The city is great too, shame most head off down the coast to 'Marbs' when they get off the plane.
TR - Chichester was annoyingly windy last year, but the course has potential to be proper fast. I'm not doing it this year though, not going for the England masters thing in Brum. Jooligan -Will have to have a stab at Telford one day - does look a bit crowded at the start though.
Simon - the new Chichester course could be quick as you say, the old course was quick but now a lap of the motor cct should make the new one even quicker. Its wasted on my no specific prep and diesel engine though.
SC2 Telford start is a bit like XC but on a narrow bit of tarmac. You doing Boxing Day Poole 10K this year?
TR Only did a triple cause I wasn't sure I'd get away from work in time for the race so did my lunch 5M just in case I couldn't. Made it with seconds to spare in the end though.
Did 3 at lunch today so 104 left & 17 days to do them
Slacker TR!
Surely a flat out 5k is going to take something out of you for he next day Jooligan?
Hope you enjoy your night out Padams.
So how are your niggles feeling OuchOuch?
Wardi - i feel your misery today, it was a grim day for running.
Jools - i have LT 100 to go now !
Todays 10m was miserable in the rain, wind and cold. Defo one for the Brighton memory banks. The 3.01 got me round though.
Funny old game Saint
Dan - you had best have 8 pints and a curry before your next mara then.
