Morning.
Lyrics - Mothers crying in the street
It was cold here overnight and we had some heavy rain go through. Yellow warning for ice until 1200hrs so I don't know whether running outside is going to be an option this morning. Hamstring feels much better but I'm still not sure I'd like to try it on the treadie so I shall have to see what it's like when I walk Grace and if necessary try to adapt and overcome!
What: hopefully some easy miles/maybe the gym
Why: sanity and the road to London
Last hard: trying to support MiL effectively
Last rest: 14/1
Yesterday's lyrics - So Tired by Ozzy Osbourne.
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

WHAT: more bike work AM d&d
Intervals running PM
Why: has become the Tuesday
Last hard: some of the weekend
Last rest : 31st October
Lyrics: again very familiar
LMH - What's wrong with running on the treadmill to test the hamstring ?
Nice that you were able to see the moon WP. It was cloudy here and I don't know I would have got up anyway..
Ben Ledi looks nice AH (googled it). Good call on turning back - you wouldn't have wanted to use your axe in anger due to the lack of crampons!
Alehouse - no skiing around here - need to travel about 1.5 hours to the Alps.
Hope you can get out for a run LMH.
What: group outing this evening - standard 6 and a bit miles
Why: need some company
Last hard: sensible pacing yesterday - kept speeding up too much
Last rest: last weekend
Lyrics: no
What - training tonight, LTP session with the club mara group
Why - It's Tuesday
Last Rest - yesterday, if you ignore the QoP's elbows and pins in my knee
Last Hard - Saturday/Sunday
lyric - possibly
Hope the ice is clearing LMH, Gobi and Benjy.
Excellent training yesterday, Dustin. We must have cross posted - I didn't see your post until today
LMH/Benjy: Same here re. treadmills. I only use them for LT pace or interval workouts to alleviate boredeom and do make sure the movement is not too monotonous.
Benjy: Great that your daugher is into running chip off the old block
Em: Oh dear. That's a long time off. I like LMH's suggestion to look for exercises you can do with a broken leg. Swimming could be an option too, or pool running.
Nice to be able to have company, Hazel.
Well, I'm grounded at the moment. Horrendous night with almost no sleep and now I have a sore throat, heart rate is through the roof and peak flow down. At least I know why I felt shite on my recovery run yesterday and why Sunday was so hard.
What: 1 hour of strength work at the gym
Why: lurgified
Last hard: deciding against running this morning
Last rest: 21/12
Lyrics: no
Chick, enjoy the strength work, hope you feel better soon
dustin enjoy the training, hope qop's elbows have made the legs feel good! Your club did well!
LMH hope you can keep your sanity, a friend is going through similar with her mum and it is heartbreaking
benjy be careful out there
what: 1 mile d&d 3 more later
why: loving it at the moment
last hard: this morning
last rest: 31/12/16
have a great day all
Sorry to hear that you're ill chicksta, take care.
Your new work is interfering with life Benjy! I will resort to the treadie if there's no other option but aside from the aforementioned biomechanical issues it just doesn't do my head as much good. Hope you can outrun the snow, just heavy rain and sleet forecast for us this afternoon. Lovely that your daughter has taken up running - cheaper than dancing too I bet!
Thanks Wabo. I keep telling myself that things are getting better and the stress is abating but unfortunately it's just not true. Great to hear that you are enjoying your running so much.
Hope the rest and the QoP did you good Dustin. I usually have a pretty bad run the day after my physio has given me a going over.
It was a bit dodgy for the first few miles Hazel but improved as the sun got stronger - a couple of bambi on ice moments but fortunately I stayed upright. I'd like a social run on occasions too but like Benjy work/life precludes it really.
What: 10k, give or take a few ks, slow and steady home from work.
Why: Miles. Base. And since it's cold(-7C) I'm gonna have to take it as it comes. The temperature shouldn't be an issue, but time will show.
Last hard: Sunday.
Last rest: Monday.
Benjy - nope I have to diet during race season. I did 110hours of training through Nov/Dec and put on 5kgs as I relaxed my diet, have lost 2kgs this month.
LMH - wouldn't worry
Sun, LMH! It has been icy rain and 2 degrees all day until about half an hour ago.
re treadmill, I agree with LMH. I was once advised by a physio that there is a danger of repetitive strain injuries and that it should only be used if absolutely unavoidable and even then the pace should be varied. On the other hand it obviously suits some people: years ago there was a guy on one of the threads who did all his running on the treadmill except for one day a year: that marathon in London. And he did an enormous volume which obviously didn't cause him a problem.
Emz: there must be lots of exercises out there that you can do! I agree with Hazel, though, and worth getting advice from a physio. Is the rowing machine another option? In the late 60s there was an American miler called Marty Liquori who broke his leg; six weeks after being out of plaster he ran a sub 4 minute mile. So we are expecting big things from you!
Get well, Chick!
Benjy: I would get your daughter into golf, tennis or possibly snooker. Far more lucrative than running!
What: short run, long Pilates
Why: Tuesday. Plus weather and work get in the way.
Why: lmh has great ideas
Last hard: that was!
Lyrics: nope
Can walk round house today though feeling sore now. Hope this means it'll be a faster recovery...
Have a lovely day all
Walk on Dunnett bay earlier.
Badminton this evening.
Work tomorrow.
Lyrics no.
Path was thick sheet ice all the way from the road yesterday. Ice axes were of limited use unless we were to cut steps most of the way. One guy was doing well with crampons and walking poles but even he turned before summit.
It was quite bright here until mid afternoon when the rain started Alehouse.
What: 3 miles
Why: Too icy
Last Hard: being flexible with training
Lyrics:Nope
so exercise bike,30 day shred,then run at mid day by this time legs are shot hence a shorter run;-)
Miles makes smiles.
