Why: because I don't usually run 3 consecutive days.
I might go to the gym tonight.
Today: More cycling.
Why: resting running injury.
Over the last few days I have tried running upstairs on the odd occasion with no ill effects (i.e. no pain), but I still "feel" it so I'm going to give it at least another week to recover before even thinking about running again.
Last day in office today for three weeks - how sad!
Why: Doing long run tomorrow so that I can make the great pilgrimage South to London on Sunday
Last hard: Monday
Last rest: Saturday
MartinH - last day for 3 weeks! Lucky you...
No work for 3 weeks - how wonderful.
Why: Racing this weekend, so needed an easier run, plus yesterday was hard, plus I was sore (knee, left)
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest [oh, dirty word
See you later everyone, I'm going to do some 'real work' now :`(
Have a good break Martin, sounds like you deserve it. Hope your knee responds to the rest.
What: 8 miles @ 1/2m pace.
Why: the only way I'll get ready for Helsby.
Last hard: Wed
Last rest: yesterday.
Have a good weekend all, good luck with your race KK.
Laura - I recognise the "why"
what: zilch
why: scheduled - but it was what my body was telling me it needed yesterday anyway. Seems I need 2 clear easy/rest days to recover from my Tuesday sessions....
last hard day: Tue (can't really count yesterday)
last rest day: Mon
last long day: Sun
Today: A short gym session and swim before works party tonight.
Why: Party starts at 9.30pm so got to do something to keep myself away fromt he biscuit tin till then. Still too many aches for serious running, although SOME of the overtraining symptoms have settled. Helsby in a few weeks...
Last hard day: Can't remember. Probably the Suicide Sixish almost a month ago.
Last rest day: yesterday.
Why: because I needed to fit in a third session this week, as I've only tomorrow and Sunday left. AND I MUST RUN FIVE TIMES!!
last rest: yesterday, although I did teach Body Balance (yoga-type thing)
Last hard: well, frankly, this morning was quite hard
Feeling in good work mood. Catch you all later.
What:12k off road running
Why:Was meeting a mate..........he never showed.....grrrrrrrrrrrr
Last Rest: Thursday
Last Hard: Think today was hard, very steep grass/mud hills,needed hands to help climb today.
Have a good un!
What: Squash
Why: Ladder game, will probably be beaten as I haven't played for several weeks and the bloke I'm playing is a real poker of the ball, why can't people just HIT it, instaed of drop boast, drop boast - the only solution will be to get on my toes (and watch the ball).
Last hard: yesterdays club run
Last rest: Monday.
Have a good weekend all and see you monday.
What: 6 Miles easy and 10 Minute Mile Pace
Why: I feel like it.
Trying out some new socks tonight, 1000 Mile sock within a sock thing.
What: 2x2 miles @ 8 min/mile pace
Why: was supposed to be yesterdays session, postponed in order to go to the pub!
Last hard: Wed
Last rest: yesterday
Been a bit lax on the running front this week, what with children's Xmas activites & carbo loading etc at the club Xmas dinner! Will definitely get out today though, lbs are creeping back on.
What: 5 miles steady
Why: Must do something or sub 50 10K next Sunday won't happen
Last hard: Sunday
Last rest: yesterday, the day before, the day before that .....
what : rest
why: another hard interval session on non-impact indoor equipment yesterday
last hard : yesterday
last rest : Tuesday
v slight reaction on knee today, so we'll see how days rest goes, had planned to start introducing treadmill on sat.
Why: Because it's nearly Christmas.
Last hard: Probably last Saturday, although I count going out in the recent freezing temperatures as pretty hard!
Last rest: Yesterday. Had intended to run but felt completely exhausted after a heavy day at work and also felt as though I was coming down with something, so decided to take it easy last night. Think it was the sensible option as seem to feel OK today.
Why: Won't bore you with the "recovery from achilles problems, running easy and flattish till the New Year" again (oh, seems I just did....)
Last hard: Well, I suppose the cold on Wednesday was a bit hard.
Last rest: Yesterday, unplanned. Didn't make it to the gym, had to collect an abandoned car.
Good weekend everyone, back on-line on Monday.
What: Naff all.
Why: Seems to be trendy to have a rest day on Fridays.
Hard: Depends. Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday?
Rest: Yesterday.
Had fun blasting a speedy 4K on 't mill yesterday. I love being at the stage where I can surprise myself regularly!
Happy running/recovering, all.
What: 20 min on treadmill (trying to work out a speed session!)
1st 10min: speed 10K/h & 2x400 m at speed 11K/h, then the next 10min 9.5K/H only...
& Xtrainers, leg press, rowing....
Last rest: yesterday
Why: I would like to run a bit faster!
I amazed by some of you, you can run in 1 session what I can run in a week!
So I do feel a bit "little" on this thread.
But I liked it because it does motivate me, specially at the moment.
Thans guys.
I've run so far this week about 10K ish, you know what I mean.
Vrap - how nice to see you back! I thought you'd permanently abandoned us in favour of swapping marzipan recipes on the fat club thread. Hope you keep your injuries away and see you in Helsby (keep eating those xmas puddings Fat Face, I need every advantage I can get).
Sleigh-full of brownie points to Snicks for running at 6 am, couldn't do that if you paid me.
Fabulous run in pale winter sunshine just now; did 8 mile loop intending to practise my 1/2m pace of 8 min/miling, came back and saw 62 mins on my watch, which is 3 mins faster than the same route 3 weeks ago, and strangely enough at a lower heart rate (82%).
Recommend tea & gingercake as runner's fodder of choice
Have a good weekend all, must just read 'Thunderbird' thread before having a shower!
Why: it's friday = rest day
Last hard run: yesterday
last easy day: today
I'll join you in Jan., we can hold our end up to. And we won't always be slow! In the meantime, I follow your exploits with interest.
Why: couldn't do it last night (Kids Xmas play - bless!)
Last hard: Tues (10 x 400m track session - bloody cold)
Last rest: yesterday
Should have rested today as now have a very runny nose, head is spinning and temperature is up. So rest or v easy day tomorrow.
what: 5 mile recovery run @ 6:50 pace
why: schedule
last rest: Monday
last hard day: yesterday, though not it the way it was meant to be
feeling a bit better today but now I've got an open gash on my achilles cos I was too mean to throw away a pair of socks until they had worn right through - not clever. speed session tomorrow will probably fill my trainers full of blood.
have a great w/e everybody.
Why: Because I really enjoy it, specially when it's raining.
Last hard day: today
Last rest: almost all of this week.
Probably wasn't the ideal session to do before being fully recovered from a cold!
Why: It's me birthday an' I wanted to play with me pressies !
Last hard : Wed
Last rest : yesterday
PS - did try and stick to pavements where possible !!
Speedwork
10 reps of 200metres at 11.2 kph with recovery(10 min warmup and cooldown as well)
felt ok
Maybe it will get easier
Hey Laura, well done on the time. You'll be well under 4 hours with that sort of running. My steady, steady was 10 min miling! I think, sums difficult after half a bottle of red!
Think I'll hit the sack soon. Boozing big time in preparation for the drought in Jan, so running with a partial hangover again in the morning.
way to go! well done on the speed session. it will get easier. award yourself a large gin. :-)
