Wednesday session 8 Jan

Morning all - extremely cold here in Germany this morning, minus 13.5 degrees as I got in my car. Would anyone like to have a debate regarding global warming?

Yesterdays cross training was a hard indoor biking session (30 minutes on level 7 of 10 covering 15.5 kilometres) plus some rowing and sit ups, consequently I'm feeling a little wiped out. So.......

Today: Possibly rest
Why: Feeling a bit wiped out plus knee a bit sore - don't want to overstress it.
Last rest: 30 Dec
Last Hard: N/A

  • Martin,

    Isn't your temperature affected by being up in the hills?
    10 degrees warmer here, which is still pretty unpleasant. At least the wind seems to be light & fairly dry - no extra ice forming.

    what: 40 minute plod
    why: as per schedule - recovery from last night

    last hard(ish) day: Tue
    last rest day: Mon
    last long day: Sun
  • hi all,

    what : probably not much
    why : still got pain in back of heel from sunday's run. first sign of pain was on steep uphill section of 7 mile run. any ideas anyone? had a look on the injuries section and it sounds like calcaneal bursa but not sure.
    last hard : sunday
    last rest : mon, tues....
  • Seem to have two of these threads going today - have I posted on the wrong one?
  • Mike - Its about 5 degrees colder where I live than in Frankfurt! That means is bloody freezing in winter but pleasant in the summer.
  • I'll keep going here

    B@#*&£r, was hoping my left knee was repairing when I succeeded in pulling left calf muscle at club session last night, after warm-up & stretches and just as we were about to start the hard session. Walked home limping. Any new left legs for sale - sfh variety to match the other. Probably a consequence of Xtraining not working the calves - past experience is 4/5 days recovery.

    what: rest
    why: enforced see above
    last hard day: sun?
    last rest: sat

    Good training all speedy marathoners in making
  • Matin H - I think you've got our weather. Can we have it back please as we can't open our ski slopes.

    Why: Feeling a bit better today - managed to eat my first 'proper' meal since 30 December last night!
    Last proper hard day: Ages ago

  • Glad you're feeling better Lizzie, and commiserations on injuries Paul and sfh legs.

    Why can't we get some snow?? And what time do you get up to run some of you?
    Set my alarm for 6.45, switched it off again and went back to sleep.

    What: 7 miles easy.
    Why: supposed to be marathon pace session but gave up after 15 mins as I couldn't get my heart rate above 70% despite having a rest day yesterday. So settled for enjoying the morning which was beautiful. Lost in my reveries going downhill I slipped on the ice and nearly fell on my a**e; serves me right for being snooty about treadmills. :)
    Will try again Sun, as this is supposed to be one of the key weekly sessions.
    Last hard: mon intervals.
    Last rest: yesterday.

    Evening all,
    Good to see that we get a light dusting of snow and public services come to a standstill.
    What : jogged the 1.25 miles to the gym (9m18)
    then on the treadmill did 600m @ 11.4kmph(7mph) as a loosener followed by 10*400m at 16.4kmph (10.?mph) with 200m jogs at 11.4kmph , finished with a cool down of 650m at around 12kmph.
    All in all 7.25kms(4.5miles) in 32.30
    Jogged home the 1.25 in the snow in 9.26.

    Total 7miles give or take in 51.14.
    Running in the snow was fun , especially since I was overtaking cars.

    Why: weekly intervals

    See you tomorrow unless the phone lines are down due to snow/ice....
