Beat that Lit!
5:43,5:46,5:52 off 3 min walk recoveries
Then I was injured etc
I wish I'd done a parkrun instead - it would probably have been my all time PB.
Todays 12 was tough from mile 4 and the last mile my legs were cooked. 52 miles in 5 days has rewarded me with dead legs, PF playing up and a black toenail
I had 13.5 with 10 at mp today. Went out about 3pm in the pleasantly warm sunshine. Having had a sports massage last night, and run a hard 20 just 4 days ago,my legs were largely unresponsive and everytime i tried yo move beyond 7mm they weren't interested. 10 came in at 7.03mm but hr was a low 153, so plenty of movement on that.
On 205 for month with 5 planned tomorrow and 22 Saturday Assuming that all happens it'll be my highest mileage month, beating my 227 in january.
Mace, I agree with Skinny. I think Lit ran it with a friend 2 years ago and seemed to have a lovely day out. London would be great to do and take in like that.
It's how I set off last year. With the hot weather I removed all pressure on myself and resolved to just see what happened as with the new GFA times that just came in, I questioned whether I would get many more chances.
13 yesterday with an attempt at 10 at mp. Whilst my hr was very low (153 average) my legs were unresponsive due to some on-going fatigue from Sunday and a fairly heavy sports massage on Wednesday evening. Average pace was 7.03mm which is still a reasonable tempo.
5 at recovery first thing this morning then.
Time for a beer.
It happens fella - especially when there's strava, fb threads, people you've told, and the main thread
What is slightly annoying, is when you do a session, especially track, and someone has kudos'd it before you've even explained what it was about.
That's 77 miles in last 7 days and 232 for month, beating Januarys 227 to be my highest month. I'll rest tomorrow.
Am now almost at the end of week 2 of taper and feeling good. Went over to Stratford this am to find a flat Parkrun as per thread advice. Last time I went over there was 2 months ago where I ran 21.15 (fastest time pre-injury there was 19:45). This morning I knocked 30 seconds off to come in at 20:47. Pleased with that. Can work on finding the minute when I'm doing more faster work. Not too shabby for a fat lass with no cruciate ligament.
12 tomorrow and then not much left to do before Manchester! Really looking forward to it.
Legs feel fine, a bit tired but not terrible. I've had to but back on some x training here and there just because life doesnt allow me that much time.
2 more big weeks before a 2 week taper. I'll be running relays next saturday now as well.
Congrats on your new pb (I think?) David.
Kudos to everyone for getting out there I say.
Still all looking good DT ! Just don't kill yourself racing next weekend.
Today I am starting to feel vaguely human after 10 days of plodding through runs full of snot, headaches, weary limbs and sore eyes. 60 miles up for last week with no workouts. Yesterday's 20 miles (in 2.28) was a total slog and had me in complete doubt about myself. So for reassurance compared London 2017 to the London 2019 buildup:
That doesn't look too bad does it ?
Correct on the 5k pb. I'm now turning my attention to some 5 and 10k training and will keep the 13-15 mile long runs in at the weekends but keep them easy.
Looks decent, Muddy. A few of my colleagues have been quite rough with some bug which has hit them for a good week. I am very much hoping not to catch it.
easy 6 yesterday and a bit of a session today.
