Then hopefully a walk tonight
Most unusual for me!
6 miles, including 10 x 2 min "fast" intervals with 1 min recoveries
Why 2nd attempt at "intro to speedwork" in hope of breaking 50 mins at 10k race
5 weeks to go!

Why: Tri training
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: Monday
Enjoy the sunshine!
What: Hopefully going to try to fit in a six miler tonight.
Why: Milage very down this week.
Last Rest: Monday
Last hard: Wednesday
why: 1/2 marathon on Sunday
last rest: Tuesday
last hard: Monday
1. Have just done a 12hr shift so little tired
2.Yesterdays speedwork session was very hard
3.Had to cross 2 roundabouts and 3 sets of traffic lights, loosing time.
4. and its bloody hot!!!!!
Looks as if things are coming together with the last few months of injury and physio treatments;-)
What: 3.5 miles easy-ish.
Why: a) it's too hot to flog myself, b) body seems to have gone into mutiny this week, c) I need to do my long run tomorrow as we're out all day Sunday, so I don't want to push it too hard today.
Last hard: Tuesday.
Last rest: Wednesday.
Feel as if all the training and preparation I put in to building up to Monday's 10K (which I was forced to miss) has vaporised: feel tired, heavy, and sluggish this week. Hopefully feel better next week!
Have a good weekend everyone, and good luck to all racing.
what: treadmill intervals - 8*800m @ 8-10% above 10k race pace
why:?
yesterday's question inviting guesses as to what i'm training for was not a trick question. Thing is I don't really know...only got 10k type races in the calendar at the moment but want to seriously improve my HM time... confused - so am I, hence seeking guidance as to what track I was currently on.
Oh, and anyone got any tips on how to improve Lactic acid destruction capability? I find I can move into an anaerobic state for quite a time (eg up a long hill where I often overtake people) BUT to return to an aerobic state I have to slow down a lot after reaching the top/flat bits - All the folks I pass on the way up overtake me again. Should I be doing intervals with shorter recoveries?
Thanks
oh and well done Popsider!
Today I shall be RESTING!!!!!!
First proper rest since Thursday last week.
Hooray!!!!
Hope the weather gets a bit cooler for my extra-long plod on Sunday.
That's about all, really. Have fun.
Why: still keeping it simple while i try and get a grip on this FF strike
Last Hard: Mon
Last Rest: Yesterday, ankle area felt a bit stiff so rather than risk it as i have many times before and been layed up for a week after i decided not to chance it
Woke up a 4.20 this morning felt wide awake and decided if i was still awake at 5 i would get up and go for a run (this would have been my first pre-work run) needless to say i was not awake at 5, whether i would have gone had i have been awake is another story
Why : Think this bug is on its way out so I'll start training on Sunday as I've got a wedding to go to over the weekend
Have a good weekend all, and best of luck to you racers.
BTW My battles with the squirrel continue....
Last Hard:?
Last rest: last Friday
Why: probably burn some meat and veg on the BBQ this evening instead.
Why: It's on the schedule, and it's hot.
what: rest from tready today, doing some weight training later.
Peeps, I have a question for you. ( it remains me to put one thread out)
Do you run faster/easier on a treadmill or outside? I feel like I am faster running outside. Inodoors the miles don't come easy. What do you think?
Have a great day!
I am sorry to hear that you are finding hard to run. Have you had a look at the article on the front page?
Have been building up intensity and frequency in the past couple of weeks and am starting to feel tired. Long run tomorrow, and then an easier week ending with a 10k next Sunday.
Resting. Have had a sore throat for some time that refuses to develop into a cold, but last night's sweats and shivers and today's lassitude have convinced me that I need time off.
So spent much of the day in an abrasive way with sandpaper and scrapers and a now (much tidier) white violin. The cello has come home and needs the same - aargh - cellos are simply huge and take ages to scrape and sand. Cross training for fingers and thumbs, and in the case of cellos, it comes to all in wrestling, trying to find a way to hold the thing.
Probably help the beginners sailing tomorrow and deal with the cello Sunday, so may not post. All the best, racers!
what do you mean 'dragged off' ........?
What: braved IKEA with tantrumming (tantruming?) niece and sister; moved rubbish out of house/garden/yard; did 40 mins of stretching (Ok, it's yoga, didn't want to mention it because I sound like a skipping CD!), I can hold my feet, and do press ups on my fingers!
Why: paintballing tomorrow, don't want to over-exert before the big event!
Going to run in evening (if rain comes), do a small one, or long one on Sunday evening after watching Sheffield Marathon.
Good luck all who do it! (barnsleyrunner, etc)
V late in posting - on holiday, todays X training was going to West Mids Safari Park. Ran tonight, lovely conditions, only downside was the flies. Did 6 miles 1 warm-up, then next four at increasing efforts, 1m cool down. Enjoyed!
Last rest - Wed
Last Hard - Tue
10k race on Sun - Sinfin Classic
