Thursday 25th July 2019 - It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
in Training
Morning.
Lyrics - It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
I've used these before but appropriate for today - we are forecast a high of 36C! It's going to feel cold from tomorrow, down to 19C on Sunday
What: whatever the legs are up for
Why: it's lovely out there
Last hard: I'm not doing hard
Last rest: 14/6

OH - Another great photo!
belated hello to Maccazz...(sorry!)
What - coaching the U11s, I'm aiming to do a few strides beforehand
Why - Down day.
Last rest - 8 days
last hard - Tuesday
Did 9k recovery yesterday lunchtime, I'm guessing high 20s. Work pal and I did the pre and post run weigh in to check 'sweat loss' - pace a sedate 8:45 m/m and loss of 2kg , so 2 litres...Hardly the most calibrated of scales, nor the most stringent of tests, but similar results.
Be careful out there!
Lyrics: no
Going to be hot here today also and is already. About 33 forecast, but only 24 tomorrow and 20 from Saturday.
What: supposed to be pinning a number on this evening (race 3 of 4 local 5ks)
Why: I have my number. Unlikely to be running it hard though given the temperature etc etc. Thunderstorms due just beforehand again.
lyrics no
run done again to avoid the heat!!
LMH hope you got out early
dustin, enjoy strides and your coaching!
Hazel have a good rest
I was so happy the other day, my friends g/son ran some races for school and kept getting medals winning by a country mile( a neck prob as it was 100 m) I told her to get him along to a club and she was struggling but colchester finally took note of the times he was doing so he got a trial and as I predicted, snapped up!
What: 3 miles d&d, did 7x2min efforts with 30 sec recovery
why: mate suggested it plus it is fun
last hard: that was
last r est:31/12/16
Have a good day all
Take it easy, ale.
Serious sweating, Dustin.
Enjoy your rest day, Hazel.
Great news re. your mate's grandson, wabo
At least our aircon in the office has stopped smelling!
What: 9 miles
Why: can't blag a marathon
Last hard: warm, windy and flies - my least favourite combination
Last rest: 15/7
Lyrics: yes
So, yesterday's lyrics were of course summer days from grease
What: 600 m swam this morning
Why: was up at 5 so got up and went
Last hard: being crashed into by the backstroker!
Lyrics: nope
Good luck in the heat all. Dad and I ate escaping to the cinema later in the hope of Aircon!
Hope it goes well later alehouse. Not sure I'd be up for a fast run today.
emzap - an early morning swim sounds great. I might try that tomorrow
Lyrics: no
What: As much as I can, after the sun has gone down.
Last hard: 6 miles last night after the sun went down. I wasn't fast, but it was very humid.
Wabo Great news on Grandson being snapped up by a club:-)
Ale: All the best for tonight race! I know I would not even attempt it in this heat!
EM: Enjoy the cinema and aircon
My first Grandchild was born yesterday 3 weeks early a boy I did say when can I get him his first running shoes
What 6.6 miles
Why: Because I can
Last hard/sleeping and heat
Lyrics: Nope
I should be tapering so will start tomorrow
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
You're bound to be slower in this heat maccazz but it's getting the miles in that matters.
I bet you know how to divert it Hazel - just not without being caught
I hope that you can persuade OH to cycle with you chicksta. Are you not forecast to cool down at the weekend too?
Glad you got your swim in emzap. I'm escaping to the cool of a supermarket this afternoon after spending some time in the air conditioned physio (cancellation appointment).
Are you racing at the weekend Wabo? I don't get out early as have Grace to walk first, 0815hrs today.
Dustin - I'm regularly weighing in a kg lighter after my runs at the minute and that's after having a drink or two when I get in, and I don't sweat much..........
Enjoy the evening out even if it's not good racing conditions it should be nice for a pint in a beer garden after Alehouse - assuming you don't get the thunderstorms. We were forecast them this afternoon but they have gone now.
I'm loving this weather - had another very enjoyable MLR this morning though even I had to head to the shady bits occasionally to cool off. If it's as hot as forecast I don't think I'll be able to walk Grace this afternoon which i don't think will go down well with her, not due to cool off until the early hours either so the pavements will still be too hot for her to walk on after dinner so can't just postpone it.
Maccazz: wot LMH said - it's all mile in the bank.
Good to get that swim done, em. Not good to be swum over
Well done for banking another MLR, LMH. Massive mileage for you this week
Sadly the forecast is for hot weather until Wednesday next week. Today will be the hottest though. The next couple of days are "only" around 29-31 degrees. And around 18 or 19 at night but what with the heated up pavements it's usually a few degrees more.
Currently 34/35 here! Hope it drops rapidly around 7 o'clock!
Warm here, I've had to put up with my Dad complaining the entire day...I suppose it's good practice for having a child!
3 swims and a short plod
even warm here
last hard: Sunday
last rest: Friday
lyrics: no
That's a pretty busy swimming day OH.
Well, that was warm. Phone said it was 31 with a feel like temp of 34. Still perspiring now, 90 minutes after finishing. Somewhat humid!
What: local 5k series (The Sizzlers) part 3 of 4. 59 seconds slower than last time. Legs weren't responding.
Why: it's all in the game. Sometimes you just have to take what you get. 2nd in age group, which was higher than usual, and a higher position overall, also.
