What: Speedwork: 45 secs at race pace followed by 45 secs walk/jog recovery depending on what time we get back from choosing cats at the cat sanctuary. Why: Because I've been a slow runner for 2 years and I want to get faster! Last hard day: Thursday Last rest day: yesterday
What: 4 mile potter to loosen up legs Why: Askern "10" tomorrow. Aiming to do it in between 60 & 61 minutes Last rest day: Thursday Last hard day: Wednesday
Still "resting" (although real life just isn't very restful). Hope things will have settled enough to try running again on Monday. In the mean time, I can cheer for you all. Marj
What: 15 miler Why: Weather in Notts looked a bit dodgy thie morning so switched my weekend long run and bike ride around. Days since last hard run: 0 (today) Days since last rest: 1 (friday)
Hope the weather holds so I can get out on my bike tomorrow. Can't believe how much easier the long run seems when I haven't biked the day before. Usually run this loop in about 7:30 min/mile pace but today managed about a 7:10 pace (with miles 6-14 @ 6:50 pace) with seemingly the same effort. No doubt tomorrows bike ride will be slow and feel like really hard work!!
WW & Drew, best of luck chaps, looking forward to hearing the gory details in tomorrows race reports.
What: Rest day. Why: Trained yesterday and my bod needed a rest Days since last hard run: 1 - Friday Days since last rest: 2 Thursday.
I say I rested - actually took the dog on a 5 mile trek along my town's section of the Pennine Trail. Also, used stepper machine for half an hour - climbed 1410 steps (109 flights of stairs) in that time. Did some light free weights and crunches. Felt even more shattered

A sub 50 will give me a PB - it all depends on the course, as have not ran it before.
