I'm enjoying having the thread started when I look each morning emzap - thanks. Hope you have fun on your outings.
Looking at the weather forecast if i'm going to run long this week it needs to be today but I can't say that I'm feeling very enthusiastic just at the moment. Hopefully I'll perk up after some fresh air.
What: LSR
Why: in case I decide to run York
Last hard: being enthusiastic about anything
Last rest: 27/7
Lyrics - yes.
Em: Enjoy your outings today:-)
LMH: Weather is pretty awful this week....
What: 8 miles easy
Why: GSR
Last hard: Yesterday/sleeping
Lyrics: Yes
Boy my achilles hurt in bed and legs were very very achy so not much sleep.I ran more than I thought the legs would allow.
Miles makes smiles.

We have sunshine at the moment... Not sure how long it'll last...
And sorry for the dreadful lyrics choices. You're getting whatever is on the desert island discs episode I'm listening to when feeding Lucas! My brain isn't at fully functioning capacity at 2am!
Poppy when is GSR?
Hope you all manage to get out in relative dryness.
Miles makes smiles.

Hazel - it goes like that sometimes, so don't beat yourself up. The mojo will return and you'll soon be flying again.
Emz et al. - It's been a while but I don't ever remember waking my kids up to feed them when they were little. Fast forward 15-20 years and it's like a plague of locusts have hit when we unpack the shopping...
OH/WP - great 10ks!
Wabo - sensible decision in the circumstances
LmH - Hope you get the run in today, looks like it will be a bright one. No idea what 'leftover' naan is!!
OH - kudos for the beach clean.
what - easy lunchtime run, coaching tonight
why - recovery
last rest - 06/09
last hard - yesterday I guess: SEAA relays at Crystal Palace.
team manager for the club so was there early on (9am) - we had teams in all but one age groups.
Senior & vet ladies off at 1:30, the male equivalent off an hour later.
I put myself as lead runner in a scratch V40 B team knowing that I'd not be the speediest based on current form. It's a tricky two lap circuit with a sharp climb that tapers off, another short down/up before a nice long downhill towards the end of the lap.
24:4x for the "6k" (I had it slightly under tbh) I had an average of 6:5x m/m
Happy enough, it was a long old day (out at 7, back at 6:30)
Sounds like a tough day at the office yesterday, Hazel! I wouldn't bin the half yet. You have the training in the bag: anything now really only gives marginal gains, if that. I would back right off and just do some 20-25 minute easy runs. And enjoy the holiday!
And sounds like a long but enjoyable day yesterday, Dustin! As a former team manager I know how it goes! Two years in a row I was team manager for the national 12 stage and two years in a row I ended up running leg 12 after chasing all over Sutton Park supporting the team. All good fun!
Lyrics: no
What: fitness suite later
Why: need more strengthening of the glutes and Achilles. Must book anti-grav treadie.
lyrics oh yes!
Thanks all for the feedback on my decision, it does help
Alehouse enjoy your fitness suite day, you inspire me to get strengthening. I love your comment about cross country and me, it is spot on. Lots of training I have done it will not go to waste
dustin, nice one on the long day and run yesterday!!
Hazel I do know the feeling , hope you reach the right decision for you
Poppy I have done gsr, loved it!! Good training you are doing
EMzap, how is the feeding going? any easier?
LMH I am hoping you have had a lovely lsr
I got a text from my son late last night, thanks for the running! He rang and said he feels he could get addicted, this is so good for me. Running with him later and I love these runs but have done a small run this morning as well just in case
what: 1.8 miles and whatever son does later
why: its fun
last hard: this morning
last rest: 31/12/16
Have a good day all
It is when it is wet and/or cold that your son will decided whether he likes running or not! Is day 1000 next Sunday?
1,000 day is Friday
You do such a lot for your club Dustin, I hope it's appreciated.
I'm sorry for being so miserable emzap. I know that if I keep breathing for long enough things will get better it's just that two years seems to be a long time for that to happen:-)
Nice recovery Poppy.
Hazel - I wouldn't write off the half. You've been under a lot of work stress lately and you've put yourself under pressure to follow the plan. If it were me I'd run for fun/stress relief between now and the race, just do whatever you feel like - or don't - and then go and see what happens on race day.
Did you manage to book a session on the anti-g Alehouse?
As seems to be usual at the minute the first couple of miles of my run were a real struggle physically and mentally but it got better from there though every long run seems to be coming out slower than the last. I have no idea what's going on - can it really all be down to stress?
It is true about those schedules I think that is what has ruined me and made me slower, and stress LMH, yes to that slowing you down
Lyrics no
Hope Berlin goes better than you're feeling Chicksta
Sometimes you need to run for your head rather than your body, LMH?
So happy
Better weather today.
Last hard Paarlaufs on Wednesday
Lyrics no.
No strong opinions on activity post caesarian other than a lot of non evidence based myths abound.
