Lay across my big brass bed
Yesterday's were Love and affection Joan Armatrading
Not first line of lyrics as that has title in
What: going to try a short walk from once husband home
Why: I can start slowly
Last hard: my last run was June I think
Have a great day!

Enjoy emzap.
I wasn't thinking volume chicksta just that I'd rather be outside enjoying a run on a nice day.
If you can increase your mileage in the your next campaign you're going to be knocking on the door of sub 3 chamolk.
What: short and easy
Why: ticking over
Last hard: remembering how recent York was
Last rest: 26/10
Lyrics - no.
What: Short run
Why: Building back up
Last hard: Virus
Lyrics: Yes
Late start for me but at least it will be light when I run.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Lyrics: yes
What: short run this evening
Why: seeing what I can fit in after work/before it is dark
Edit: am looking for a new "Garmin" (or other brand). Would like wrist based HRM. In trying to mend the strap on my TomTom Cardio2 I managed to get superglue on the buttons...
OH/LMH: did you get emails from me?
chick what a good mix of training
lyrics no
emzap enjoy your walk
managed a mile run and 3 walking with son last night, loving it!
Pops enjoy the short run, hope you are all better now
LMH have a good short run
alehouse you too, enjoy
What: run with mate later, maybe 5 miles
why: I have a space in the evening
last hard: last night
last rest: 31/12/16
Nanna duties last night to collect Cleo from 3 hours dance training, tonight to take and her mate her there. She's dancing at her majesty's theatre in December - proud or what!!!!
That's a lot of training for a little one Wabo - I bet she's sleeping well!
Funnily enough I was looking at the 235, LMH! No email reply though, although am wondering if I have an email problem as was expecting some others which I haven't received. Can you repost please?
Dancing and Cleo sounds good Wabo!
I've re-sent it Alehouse.
Wabo - that is fabulous news for Cleo!
Emz - good news for you too!
chamolk - I agree there is more to come, it's a big leap from 3.30 to 3 though, but you'll definitely improve towards 3:15. I ceratianly found aiming for 55-65 mile weeks (topping out at 70) led to my faster marathon times. Logistically I probably couldn't do anymore.
It is a big ask though...
Chick - is the ultra plan available online or is it in her book? I'd like to see that.
I'm with LMH on getting outside unless it's brutal (so for me, not in the past 5+ years), although I accept that most strength & conditioning is best done in the gym. I'd rather do running related training outside, although sometimes you have to drive to suitable venues (steep hills, sand). I think adherence to a plan is "variable": I aim to follow one but often sessions move day / week to coincide with warm up races, XC and life in general!
What - steady lunchtime and possibly some speedwork this evening
Why - usual lunchtime and deferring yesterday's session. I more or less ran easy last night - coaching minute on/minute off isn't great if you wish to join in!
Last rest - Last Saturday
Last hard - Sunday
Sorry to hear your shoulder is still giving you grief, LMH.
Dustin: I think the plans are only available in the book. Will post photo of a sample week so you can see what it looks like. I have a bunch of other ultra books as well but somehow this one sticks out and I love the way she comments the training sessions. Most other books have just a rather bland table.
Going forward I may watch the forecast more closely and switch days around so that I pick nice weather for my running days and use the xt day when it's foul. No schedule is completely written in stone
Chamolk: Agree with what Dustin and LMH said. That sub 3 is quite realistic. I perform well on 70 mpw and would quite possibly be a much faster runner if I could sustain higher mileage but anything approaching 80 breaks me. Ageing body and all that ... and regarding the legs: you can keep them if they're so hairy
Hazel: What are your plans for spring?
Enjoy your walk, Em.
Ale: very annoying. Hope you find a suitable alternative. I use the Garmin fenix 5S but it's rather expensive (mine was a gift). It has a ton of features that I don't really need but that are nice to have, like being able to record about any activity known to man - strength, yoga, indoor cycling, trail running, hiking - you name it, Garmin covers it.
What: 5 mile run (outside
Why: building strength
Last hard: moving! I'm very, very sore so the sessions must be working
Last rest: Sunday
Lyrics: no
Swim in the sun.
Nice day here
Last hard: Sunday
Lyrics no
AH: received email re HRZ 3 days ago and responded but nothing since.
Other than in danger of becoming a cardiac neurotic, I am very pleased with Garmin 35.
Battery life seems good.
Easy to read screen without reading glasses.
A lot simpler intuitive interface than other models.
Sync with mobile phone not only gives you a lot more breakdown but will automatically import into Fetch (or Strava ...)
Half the price of 235 at £102 on Amazon.
Only minor gripe is that units are imperial OR metric. Can't mix and match.
I like running distance in miles but swimming in metres, body weight in kg and atmospheric temperature in Celsius.
I've got the new P&D advanced marathoning book, but I never really like following scheduled - I like seeing what each coach recommends, then picking and choosing what I like and what seems to work - the 55 mile option looks closest to what I think I could manage.
What - prize giving for the recent half marathon series, got a nice new jacket. No running though.
Why - legs feel OK, but I'm making myself rest well for a week or two, as I know I'll be increasing miles again soon.
Lyrics - yes. Saw this artist live earlier this year for the first time. Along with Bowie, one of my favourites.
Hope the walk went well emzap. As Hazel says, the c25k program might be a good start.
3 hours of dancing seems like a lot to me, think I'd rather run.
That's a shame about glueing the watch alehouse. That said, over the years I've glued my thumb to the pavement and my finger to someone's face
I know it's not much help now you've been told it's ok, but there isn't usually a specific time frame you can't drive for after a c section - people are often told 6 weeks, but that's based on other surgeries. The DVLA don't stipulate any particular time frame. The main issue is whether or not you're insured (as driving while unfit invalidates your insurance), and they usually say don't drive until your doctor says you're fit. I've told patients they're OK after a week or two following a section (I work as a GP), provided they're OK, not especially sore, and are confident they can do an emergency stop if required (I'll tell them to try this in a brief test drive beside their house to check it's not sore). Having a new born can be a very stressful and isolating time, and not being able to drive can be a real problem for some.
Sorry I wasn't here a few weeks ago. Though, of course, I'd also have recommended you did whatever your own doctor advised, rather than follow the advice of a stranger online, but I find often doctors just say 6 weeks as it's what has historically been advised.
Anyway.....
