5:40am 4M easy run [already done!] pm: Mile reps. Why: If this week goes well I plan to race a spring marathon. Still at work today, so a VeRy MeRrY cHrIsTmAs
What: Legs stil knackered from Sunday when I over did it! Shame actually, thee club's doing 8 miles over Epsom Downs which sounds good.
Should make it out the door tomorrow if the blood content of my alcohol stream gets high enough!
HMG - going running in this weather (and a lot worse!) is pretty much necessary in this country if you're training for a spring marathon or something. It gets a lot worse than this!!
Morning all Damp & dull, but lovely and mild here.
Sleep disturbed again last night as I got a call from work at 00:20. Partially made up for it this morning.
Hence: What: Depends on how I feel, but either 9.3K at intended Helsby race pace (6:24 per mile) or my 10.3K course at same pace if I'm feeling good or 3 x 2 miles at 6:20 pace off 3 minute or 1/3 mile jogged recoveries.
Why: Don't know how I'll feel after the weekend efforts (though stiffness from Sun has gone). If I do the latter (round a circuit which stays close to home), I'll be able to back off (leave out a rep) if I find it too hard.
Runner - a well aimed blow to the nethers will get rid of that chimp, but maybe you should use him for a bit of resistance training.
What: Today I will need a LOOOONNNNGG run. Mum is here for Xmas, and is driving me nuts already. I've only been at work for 2 hours and she's phoned twice already (I don't NEED to know the window cleaner is here!) and spent last night following me from room to room.
Why: To maintain sanity and Christmas spirit.
Planning to run every day until coming back to work on 6th January.
Merry Christmas all, hope everyone has a great day tomorrow and a little of what they wished for!
What: 10 miles in my santa hat (got quite a few honks from motorists)@ 1/2 marathon pace-7:06 min miles. Why: wanted a longish hard run before having my 2 days of rest. Last hard: today Last rest: from running yesterday, but not from training. Thursday was my last day of doing nothing.
What: 5 miles with middle 2 1/2 run at race pace (which for me is just under 7 mins per mile). Why: have not run at pace for more than a mile since dec 1. Last rest: Saturday. Last hard: Sunday.
Happy xmas and I hope Santa brings everything the kids want.
Finally got out at 19:00 after a hard afternoon's shopping. 3 x 2 miles off 3 minute recoveries, in which I jogged 1/3 of a mile. times: 12:38; 12:39; 12:50
Not very much in the tank - particularly by the time I did the last rep. Oh well, 2 days of nice easy running, & significant volumes of rest and carbo (and protein and fat and maybe even some alcohol) loading to come....
