I'm a bit out of synch here because I ran last night but have only just got to my pc So....
What ? Nothing - Zip - Nada - Nowt Why ? Rest day after last nights 32min 4 miler Last hard- Goodness me they are all hard at the mo ! Last rest - Today , and maybe tomorrow because I stumbled flying round a corner and nearly turned my ankle...oh and I've got a sniffle
What: mayybee club circuit training why: I ought to pretend I still like them last hard : 12/12 last rest: sun
did 8 minutes at slow 9 min/miling on treadmill before discretion took over on my knee and I didia quick burn on the ellipictal trainer. Knee OK today. Will try for 10/12mins on wed. Not enjoying following all the cracking sessions you are all putting in - feel a sham.
Achilles, I've heard of stress relief...but surely that takes the biscuit, Not even Mr Tracy asks that of his boys!
What: Ponder a dilemma. Why: It's club night at 6-30 and work Crimbo dinner on the table at 7-30. I reeealy want to run. Should I (a) run for a bit then head off, (b) stuff the tedious old dinner and run the full sesh, or (c) get pissed, go to the dinner, eat lots, get more pissed, and see a psychiatrist about curing my running obsession tomorrow? Only you lot will understand why I'm tending towards (a) and (b). :-)
Swerve - It depends. If I thought the dinner was going to be v. tedious and there was nothing to be gained by being there I'd probably bin it and run instead. If it was a case of needing to show my face I'd probably go to the run for a bit then head off.Or I'd take a night off running and shamelessly get wrecked ...
Anyway, over to me!
What: 3.6 or 4.1 mile recovery run (depends what time I get home!) Why: Hard 31-minute 4.1 mile fartlek run last night (mostly uphill). Last hard: Yesterday (especially after spending my whole lunch break charging round High Street Kensington THEN stopping off at Oxford Circus on my way home!!) Last rest: Sunday.
Hello dudes, Back again after a lovely weekned at Center Parcs (Longleat) with Mrs D , 2 kids,Bruv and sis-in-law. Last Thursday : 3 miles fast Friday : loads of walking (with 20kg child on shoulders), rapids with grown ups (bless those babysitters) and fast food meals. Saturday : all over massage, loads of walking, and did approx 2 mile run (16min40) with my brother around the 1 in 8 hills Sunday : loads of walking , 2-3 hours in the Aqua Sana (steam rooms,sauna,ice room) Monday : zip - up all night with smallest (I say all night,really it was from 10pm to 2am,3am to 5am and 6am onwards....) Today : 4.5 miles all off road Why : needed to stretch my legs Last hard : Thursday Last Rest : Yesterday
Swerve, the beer always tastes better after a run...
What: 5 x 6min with 2min rest
Why: speed day, and I'm sure we will actually do this session tonight. I've been posting this session for the last 3 weeks on a Tue and have ended up doing something different.
What: Speed session in Regents Park, 3 x 1min, 5 min, 3 x 1min, 5 min. why: no reason for the breakdown, couldn't think what else to do Last hard: today, i was tired Last easy: yesterday, I was a slob
Great fun running past camels, wolfs and eagles! Felt a bit sorry for them though. They do look bored! Lots of runners out. Wonder what it will be like in January Back to work - check over shoulder....
Mike, hope you enjoy your 'quality session with the Wirral girls'.
What: 3.5 hrs xcountry with a fair bit of ascent in gorgeous winter sunshine. Nice gentle pace approx 62% whr. Why: Power off all morning so good excuse not to do any work and go out running instead. And friend reminded me we're supposed to be doing 23mile xcountry event the weekend after Helsby, so tested part of the route today. Shattered now, please can this count as my long run this week? Last rest: yesterday Last hard: Sat.
Wow! Well done Laura - you can definitely count that as this week's long run.
I'm running 2.5m handicap with Club tonight. Don't feel like doing it actually. Feel like having one of those runs where you just head out the door, no time or route planned and just run.
Oh well, another day perhaps. At least I'm getting a run tonight.
What: 16km ( 10 miles )1hr 12mins. Why: Done 18 miles on sunday, needed a complete recovery yesterday after also working 12 hrs on sunday night, pretty wrecked come monday morning, so thought id do a longish steady run today.
Yeah, I was running like KK before I was injured - the temptation is there to just ramp straight back up to that level of training again, but I know I'll just overtrain and come a cropper so it's all about the slow buildup
Not all the usual girls turned up - one new bloke did - so it was 3 of each; for once the blokes weren't outnumbered. 2/3rd mile "warm up" (misnomer), then tempo run in sub-zero temperatures - covered about 8.5-9K in just under 34 mins. Got back to the car after 1 mile+ warm down & found ice on the windows. The puddles on the pavement were starting to freeze over as well. Struggled to keep up with the new bloke & the fastest woman & gradually faded to about 50m+ adrift. Checking back on the splits later, found we'd gone out at sub 6 minute mile pace, so perhaps not surprising. We all slowed quite a lot over the last mile or so. Didn't enjoy it at the time, but glad I managed the session now.
