Yesterday's horror work day materialised in all its glory and after a lightening return trip to Amsterdam, finally arrived home at 10:15. Lucky I did my training in the morning.
Today: one hour run including 3 x one mile at 10k pace (4 minute recoveries).
Why: Need for speed and still nursing an aching knee so flat out intervals not really recommended.
Last hard day: Sunday
Last rest: Saturday
However, another hard day at work so will have to play session by ear - also a guaranteed late finish tomorrow could mean another early start if I want to get a run in.

what - 4m steady
why - hard day tomorrow
last hard - Thursday

What: swim at lunchtime
Why: that's what the schedule says and I'm going to the library near the pool this morning to avoid spending valuable PhD time on the Runnersworld Forums.
Last rest day: monday
Last hard day: sunday
What: Weights and maybe a swim this evening.
Why: Ran yesterday, plan to run tomorrow, like to do something different sometimes.
Last hard day: Sunday.
Last rest day: Monday.
Today
What: Might try for a half hour run this evening before night out from work.
Why: Last night became an impromptu tempo, then speed session (see Tuesday's thread) due to fear that I was being followed!
Last hard day: last night was good going
Last rest day: Sunday...
Why: Specialised preparation for Mersey Tunnel 10K Sunday (getting out of the tunnel!). When running the Cornish cliff paths on holiday, it seemed to require 2 runs before I got the strength in my legs to do the inclines a bit more easily - so I'll be doing another one tomorrow. Not exactly a standard pre-race taper I know....
Last hard day: Sun

Last rest day: Sat
Why: Muscles and joints out on 'trike again
last hard day: Tues - at least for half the club session
last rest: Mon

Why: Mid week mid distance run
Days since last hard run: Yesterday
Days since last rest: Saturday
Mike S: That is dedication for a race! I cycled through the tunnel last year (Liv-Chester-Liv) and it is bit of a nasty climb back up. Good luck!
why: knee bit suspect after sunday run so staying off-road just in case for tomorrow.
Last hard run:Sunday
woke this morning stiff neck - supposed to be running 14 miles home today, but could barely move head so will delay and go see my doctor.
Why: Was still totally sh@gged out after Sundays Half Mara during last nights run, so I thought I'd better err on the side of caution.
Last hard run: Sunday
LAst rest day: Today
Why: Last night's 8 miles was abandoned due to a severe bout of toothache. Managed to get an appointment at the dentist this morning. X-ray shows an abcess, so I've got a 5 day course of antibiotics, and some mega pain killers (just taken, so if the typing goes downhill, you'll know why). I then have to go back next month to have the tooth removed (wahhhhhhh!!). So I'll see whether the pain killers are enough to get me through the pain, without making me too wobbly to run.
BTW, the label on the prescription says to take one every 8 hours for 5 days, but I got 20 tablets. Am I missing something? (I am only an accountant after all.......)
why: worked hard yesterday and dog still needs a walk
Last Rest Day: Monday
Last Hard Day: Yesterday
Legs feel a bit achey from yesterday but I did incorporate some intervals during yesterday's running and consequently I htink they had to work that little bit harder - which after a 15 day break isn't so bad I don't think. I'm going to walk the lactic acid out with the doggy once I've finished here. Then it's a Wizard of Oz video for me
Why : Still having problems with my ankle – I think I may have strained my peroneal tendon - so I’m going to have an easy week with a few swims and a mountain bike ride around Kielder Reservoir on Sunday – Hopefully back running by next Tuesday.
Last Hard Run : Sunday
Will
So
What: Club run night, but only doing the 4.3 mile circuit....
Why: .... as I have a 10k race Sunday.
Last hard day: Saturday
Last rest day: Yesterday and the day before and....
Lunch and a few drinks with my beloved.
Why : couldn't be bothered with the 45 minute recovery run.
Last hard session : yesterday & tonight hopefully (:D)
Latest Rest : today (if lugging 8 bags of shopping around town counts).
What: did 6 mile tempo run after work then had my improver swimming lesson this evening. Lots of work on backstroke technique this week. My front crawl is coming on quite nicely too.
Why: all part of my regular weekly training.
I got my numbers for Sunday's triathlon today so am feeling a little nervous now. I thought I'd be one of the first in the pool, being quite a slow swimmer but I'm actually in group four. There's 246 entered so I shouldn't be last!
What: 53 mins steady, probably around 5 or 6 miles. Had wanted to do 7 miles/ 1:03, but just couldn't be done
Why: Following RW schedule still
Last hard: Speed sesh on Monday
Last rest: Sunday
Good luck in your Triathlon Hilly. I am so impressed with your training. You inspire me. I'll be after you for Tri tips next year...
Why: someone had to do it. Quite tiring really, honest.
I'm knackered now - & short of zzzzzzzs
