Morning.
Lyrics - Oh a working-class face glares back
Wild, wet and windy here this morning, I've been listening to it howling for a few hours this morning. Met Office suggests it may be march of the wheelie bin windy in which case I'm not sure how I'll fare but shall assess the situation when I walk Grace.
What: hopefully something short though I doubt anything will feel easy in this weather
Why: 80 odd days
Last hard: sleeping
Last rest: 27/1
If you think you can or you think you can't you're probably right.

Thanks for the lyrics again, LMH: was just about to post mine so have had to revise my post!
Lyrics: familiar
What: short run and long fitness suite
Why: work, plus an easy running day.
Weather is wet and windy here. Hopefully more pleasant by the time I get to run this evening.
LMH The weather is the same here and as it is bin day they are all up and down the road.I was sensible as I put mine out this morning
Alex: Thanks for thoughts on race and I never thought of it like that.I don't think i have ever had trouble getting through finishing funnel.
Dustin: This race is an old one but the folk who run Swansea half took it over 2-3 years ago along with Llanelli half and prices have increased.
I will need to get my skates on and get my long run more than 8 miles as it is at the moment when I have done a long one;-)
Yesterday 7.25 miles and better than it has been.
What: Not sure how far
Why: Wind speed
Last hard: Weather
Lyrics Nope
Last Rest 2/2
Yesterday's Lyrics were Sixteenth Century Greensleeves by Rainbow
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Gobi - interested indeed! Sounds like one that I'll 'borrow' for the 5k training after London. I presume the efforts you mentioned: 200 400 200 600 200 400 200 600 200 400 200 - are all followed by 200 easy?
Very mild here now (no rain, no wind), so dispensed with heavy coat. Indeed it was a positively balmy 9c last night despite drizzly rain.
What - U11 coaching coupled with some easy miles
Why - Thursday is easy day
Last rest - 17 days
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - nope
Yes indeed mate
200 off 200 jog is nice
600 off a 200 jog was less so
What: 70 min watt bike d&d mtb at Cannock PM
Why: Thursdsy fun for everyone
Last hard: Tuesday
Last rest: 31st October
Lyrics: no
May need a plan change this evening due to the wind. I have a plan :-)
If the foot still aches walking emzap I wouldn't think yet about running.
Wheelie bin windy is a great description LMH. Take care you don't get attacked by one anybody.
Enjoy the calmer weather where you are Dustin.
New management and new prices is one I've often see for races WP and not necessarily with any improvements.
What: some sort of speedwork - not sure what yet as it is still icy in places
Why: slotting in some harder running this week as I will be away at the weekend
Last rest: 1.2.
Lyrics: no
Strapped watch on more secure today, I have big wrists chicksta! Anyway the heart rates look more normal
Chicksta, glad to hear you are on the mend
Hazel - spot on wheelie bin weather! they were all over the place on my road. Enjoy the speedwork !
Gobi you always have a plan I bet!
Dustin enjoy your easy
Poppy, don't get blown along! Mind you could be worth a couple of miles!
Alehouse, hope the weather is more pleasant for you, it looks lovely here in Essex
LMH it didn't feel easy this morning in the weather, enjoy your run
WHat: 5 x 5min threshold, 75 secs recovery. Yoga tonight
Why: schedule, these things suit me as well!
last hard: that was, whoosh in the wind
last rest: 31/12/16
have a good day all
I must admit I'm not sure quite what I achieved training wise running outside in that weather - some mental training I guess if nothing else. Heavy rain that hurt my face and a wind so strong that I struggled to move forward and was blown sideways at times did not make for a pleasant experience but I had a warm glow (the only thing that was) of satisfaction when I returned to the warmth of the house and some resilience to see me through the work day I hope.
The wind is due to ease here later Gobi so hopefully you'll be able to get out in the Chase and you'll have better conditions for your run Alehouse.
I prefer your weather Dustin.
Hope you managed a longer run then Poppy. How long until the half?
Well done on completing the session Wabo - hope you can find somewhere to run yours Hazel.
He won't be running with me for some time....
LMH: Kudos for getting out in this weather. I used the treadmill.
Nice miles, Poppy.
Hope you managed your session, Hazel.
Quite mild here too, but the wind makes it feel much colder than it is.
Torrential rain this morning and I had my LT session scheduled so I took the easy Option and hit the gym.
What: 12.8k (or 8 miles) with 5 and 3.5k at LT pace off 4 mins
Why: schedule
Last hard: that was - it was an epic sweat fest. That gym is always too hot
Last rest: 23/1
Lyrics: no
why: "recovery" run (see below). Mild bright day here with no wind.
last hard: Tuesday
last rest: yesterday
lyrics no
Eventful trip home:
Acute severe diarrhoea on train to Inverness
> fainted in carriage
> met by ambulance at Inverness
> further transient loss of consciousness during ambulance assessment sealed my fate
> A+E, 5 attempts to get drip in then 1.5l fluid
> cardiac screen all ok
discharged at 5pm so travel plans set back 24h but back to normal now.
I didn't really have time to get to the gym and fit a worthwhile run in chicksta and it isn't as good for my mental health.
Oh dear Wabo - he does seem to be quite accident prone.
Hope you are ok, OH!
And OH dear Wabo!
What: short run d&d, fitness suite shortly
Why: managed to get the run done in daylight. Cool, no wind; until lunchtime it was very heavy rain and windy. Legs were tired.
ref question on Job, yes have new one and start next Monday.
3.75m run this morning
rest of the day decorating the dining room
Helping out with club session tonight
Take care
What: 8km so far, about to do another 2 (walking)
Why: had to go to hospital to have bloods done this morning
Last hard: getting bloods done. I have a needle phobia and it was my first time. I am feeling proud now though
Lyrics: nope
Oh that doesn't sound good. Any idea what caused it?
Wabo ouch!
