Good Morning - very fresh here in Aberdeen today - at least no ice again though!! What : 6 mile easy Why : day 4 of schedule Last Hard day : Tuesday Last Rest day : Saturday
Have a nice day - it's nearly the weekend !! yippee!!
Does anyone else take themselves off to the gym or go out for a run when they're angry, someone really p!!!ed me off last night (so called friends) went to the gym and did 10 min warm up, intervals 2 mins at 11.2kph, 2 mins walk x 5, 10 min walk. Then did weights for half an hour, felt better after that.
Yes, Wicked, and that is one of the reasons I am sooo glad I can run. Haven't yet found the fit of temper I can't run away from, but sometimes I have to go on rather long runs.
Today: No indulgence in temper. 3M easy, taper for half on Sunday. Somewhat spoilt by rampant dyspepsia, brought on by a return to lecturing and work (his, not mine) generated domestic crises. It will be appropriate if I have to run Sunday with a stinking bellyache.
So long for now. No training posts til after the half.
Morning all. Lovely bright sunny day in Brum. Bit chilly, but I can live (and run) with that.
What: Hope to do 7-8 mile run this afternoon and Bodypump class followed by a short swim later. Why: Schedules up the spout already this week, so doing what I like. Think I'll take it day by day now until Cheddar then do proper schedules again for Helsby. Last hard day: Sunday. Last rest day: Monday.
Like you, WW, I find exercise brilliant for getting stress and irritation out of my system. Did my fastest-ever 5K last week after my daughter had wound me up - I didn't even bother to change into running gear before going out the door, just went out and pelted round the block.
what - club day - so kids at 6:15 and adults at 7. I'm hoping that once I'm strong enough I will be able to start doing the adult swimming lessons that start at 8 for an hour as well.
why - joinning the club was the best thing I've done this time round and I'm hoping it will keep me going on.
last hard day - Tuesday speed session last rest - Wednesday
Hi all. Lovely and sunny here in Nottingham too, although a bit cold. I really like Autumn when it's like this though.
What: already done 30 mins of frontcrawl in the pool Why: working from home today Last rest day: Mon-Weds this week as I've been working really hard Last hard day: Sunday
What : I don't know as I'm going to a club tonight and have no idea what happens on a club night - can anyone tell me? Why: I'm getting tired of running on my own and probably need some help to improve Last Rest : Sunday Last Hard : Yesterday
What 7 mile run easy pace with half mile steep hills run at pace. Why - Something different - I normally just run a steady pace - and training for Leicester half Last Rest - Sat Last hard - yesterday
Why: may not have the time. Need to get the weekly shopping in after work; also at 2000 cricket committee meeting. May be a blessing in disguise - feeling very short of zzzz's at the moment & still threatened by a cold which (hopefully) never quite materialises.
Back from the dentist, with tooth still intact. My mouth wouldn't freeze enough to let him take it out, so its off to the hospital in the next few weeks for extraction under a general. I can have some lunch now :-)
What: a very tired slow 6 miles Why: I don't really know why I was so tired, it could be Sunday took more out of me than I thought. I intended an easy week but today's run was at joke pace. No more running now until race on Saturday. As long as I feel able! It has been a very busy day at work, maybe it's that. Last hard: Sunday Last rest: yesterday.
You should be taking it easy with all that racing, with maybe no running during the week at all, except maybe one recovery run. Maybe that joke pace has done you a favour. Good luck at the weekend.
Saw Physio, who has put back my return to running by one week and to take it easy for a further 2 weeks. So no running until Sun 3rd Nov and no hard session for 2 weeks after that, ........... ho hum!
What - rest, calf tight from yesterdays bike session. Last hard - 11 days next hard - 30 days!
What: 10 miles Why: it's crisp, and perfect for running here in Notts Last hard run: today Last rest day: Monday
Did ~ 1 mile warm-up then 2x2 mile @ 10K - 1/2 mararthon pace with v.v. easy 1 mile jog in between then 1 mile @ 5K pace and easy 2 mile jog home to finish up. Weather is absolutely perfect for running i.e. 40 degrees F, no wind and sunny, love it to bits!
