Morning, I had a rowing race yesterday and I've been out training today. Will be again tonight as well. And all this before a 5,000m ergo test on Wednesday. I love the punishment honest!
What AM : 5.5 mile run, HR not exceeding 156 average 148 What PM: 1 hours on the rowing machine and possibly circuits (depending on homework) Why : As I'm crazy the ergo work is regular and I've been adding to my training and running so done the run
Last Hard : yesterday Last Rest : Friday
So warm today here, hope you all have good weather
What: Recovery run later. Or maybe a recovery walk, depending on how I feel. Why: I can't believe how OK my legs feel after yesterday's efforts. Last rest: Friday. Last hard day: Yesterday's long run.
What: something easy, like putting my feet up with ice on the knees Why: longest run ever yesterday (and during the run pb for 1/2M, knocked 7 mins off previous time) Last Hard: Yesterday Last Rest: Sat
Hi everyone, What: Rest day, plus Sports Massage. Why: Usual post race procedure, plus hamstring spasm ooutlined in yesterdays training thread Last Hard: Yesterday Last Rest: Friday
Bramley 20 yesterday , committed the cardinal sin of going too fast out of the blocks, and to think there was a thread on this only last week......
Still pleased to come in within my 'pleased' target at 2.27.49 (prelim) , although if I had run more balanced could've come in a minute or so quicker. It probably didn't help that there is a 10 mile race alongside, so from 8-10 there are the 70-75 minute runners coming past - no good for self esteem - which for the less disciplined (ie me) means you run that little it quicker. Bodes well for a halfM pb at Fleet in 3 weeks (mile 13 in 1.34) and it also told me that I need to do some more long runs......
Easy 4miles recovery today if I can make it down the stairs.....
What: am - 40 minute turbo trainer session pm - weights and maybe a 40 minute recovery run, or maybe not! Why: easy day Last hard day: yesterday last rest day: 9 days ago
What rest (can't walk let alone run) Though might get on the turbo trainer tonight now I've broke my duck. Why- see above Last hard yesterday Last easy Saturday.
'Broke your duck' - is that a new running muscle I've never heard of?
Good time there Dustin, I can imagine how dispiriting it must be to have 10 milers shooting past! That's a def. sub 3.15 for you then?
Congrats on your Half pb 3TL, what's the secret?
What: am: 5 mile recovery run, pm: club speed session. Why: Possessed by the marathon demon. Last hard: yesterday's marathon paced run. Last rest: last Monday.
What: Really ought to go to cricket nets. So nets and/or an easy, short run. Why: My cricketing muscles are atrophying, but it's at a bad time of the week. Hard: Saturday long one. Rest: Sunday.
Bramley 20 yesterday...had a bit of a nightmare after 15 miles..up to then I was on target for sub 3 hrs...ended up with 3.03...more training required...
What: Rest Why: Can't walk too great Last hard: yesterday Last rest: Saturday
I'll start another thread with a question I have..
What: very little, maybe a swim and sauna Why: Bramley 20 yesterday...need I say more! Perhaps not the best thing to do after a week off with a cold, but I was pleased to get round even if 15 mins slower than hoped for. Oh and believe it or not, I was out there so long I sunburnt my face! Last rest: Sat
Hello everyone, lovely sunny afternoon here & finishing work for the day within an hour :-) All these reports from Bramley make me feel my run yesterday was a short stroll in the park.
What: 3 mile recovery run (will try & drag half term children along). Think a few stomach crunches might be in order too (been reading Sassie's wobbly thread) Why: why not! Last hard: yesterday over the hills Last rest: Saturday
It's indoor nets for my club too tonight - but Mrs S is going out to a local history talk.
2 sessions now Laura?
what: nothing why: originally was going to try to fit in a short "catchup" session - but yesterday's horror run has put me off. Haven't relapsed back into last week's bug, but don't feel 100% either. Getting called by work at 04:00 didn't help - especially as I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards.
What : 3 miles Why : Had to get home from the garage after dropping my car off. Last hard : Bramley 20 (2:35) (Was looking good for sub 2:30 until 15 miles..., but enough of that on another tread) Last Rest : Saturday
As for tomorrow, well I think I need a good long rest.
What: Resting for me today as always after a long run. Why: Sometimes swim on Mondays but I've found that if I run following a LSD it tends to affect me for the rest of the week. Last hard: yesterday - faster than predictied RW paced run Last rest: Saturday
Work is definitely going to get in the way of training this week. Think I'm going to end up just doing two longer midweek runs rather than my usual three shorter ones.
Spent most of the day in bed, with periodic trips to the loo. At least I know that my awful run yesterday was courtesy of some nasty microbe, and I should be back to running properly once I can stay vertical for a while.
Well done Hilly on your swim and circuits - you're one fit woman! Me resting enforced, but now that I've done it quite glad of it. Up till 1am working last night, and it's taken its toll! Speed sesh tomorrow
Well done Dustin and RB - RB it's still a good time and will get you a sub 4 marathon. Laura, two sessions - I must give it a go! Well done. Good to see you back on form Drew. Hope you fix your duck Monique... Well done everyone, nice to see not alone in my resting
