Lyrics - I only knew you for a while, I never saw your smile, 'til it was time to go, time to go away
Yesterday's were Absolute Beginners by Bowie, which is kind of how I feel again at the minute after not running for so long. I know it'll come back with time, but it's hard not to look at my training last year and get impatient to get back to that level. I can't really remember when I stopped posting last year, but I got a few PBs over the summer - got down to 19:53 for the parkrun, 41:52 for 10k and 1:30:36 for the half marathon before it all fell apart. I'd been training hard all summer and after the half at the end of August it took me ages to recover - ended up cancelling the Manchester half. Then I started working too many nights per month and just didn't have the time or motivation to start again.
Anyway, it's getting back on track now - 30mins easy yesterday again.
Thanks for the pics Els, looks lovely
Good luck with the move WP
I thought magic Monday sounded pretty good Ale
Hope it stays negative chick
Emz - what age is Lucas now?
Comments
Lyrics: no
Make sure that you don't rush back, Chamolk...but I'm sure that you know that! Consistency is the key although that might be hard given the job and the boys! I would also try to throw in some injury prevention: stretches/strength/conditioning. No reason to be back to where you were and beyond!
No sunshine here, Hazel: pouring, and if you look at some forecasts it is due to stay that way for the rest of the day.
In December I will have been in my house for forty years!
I enjoyed the vision of Lucas and yoga, Emz!
Sounds a good trip, Els/OH!
What: a run at some point
Why: the weather needs to improve before I step out of the door! Hoping for 30 minutes plus as a bit of a leg loosener.
Em: Lucas must be 2-3 years I imagine?
Hazel: A lot of stuff in the time frame honestly it is crazy and when downsizing a nightmare when Hubby is a hoarder!
Good luck with taper.
Chick: Fingers crossed.
What 4 mile run
Why: Because and stress reliever
Last hard: past three weeks
Lyrics:No I dont think so
Weather Wet wet wet here.
Miles makes smiles.
Progression
Stopped raining this pm so...
What: just over 40 minutes
Why: break in the weather but cool and windy at 10 degrees. Dressed for winter again, including gloves. Supposed to be warm at the weekend. We shall see!
I seem to be permanently carb loading, Hazel...
Emz - well done with the club 10k
Chamolk - impressive PBs last year, soon be back there but be consistent getting there
Chick - fingers crossed re covid. Was just a local concert (Robert Cray) last night. More Mrs D's cup of tea than mine, but a bit of blues on a Tuesday is good for the soul.
Ale - well done missing the wet stuff
WP - good work getting the run in
Hazel - hope you kept it easy...
What - 9 miles including 10x 350m hill efforts
Why - missed club set yesterday so got the session in today
last rest - 03/04
last hard - that was...
lyric - dont think so
Chamolk speedy 5km time. But as others said don't rush it. Its just about consistency and patience.
Feeling tired today decided on one of my 20:22 runs not done since injury still kept it slow even tried to slow down the slow 🤣 so I walk less. Just had a 2 minute walk in the middle
Day out in Malmö, a lot of walking around, park, museum, beach, Swedish police station from the bridge and most important meeting Thomas's partners parents for lunch...first time we've met. Went ok I think!!
Hazel hope the dress rehearsal went really well and you're good and ready - sure you will be
