2nd run of the week for me.
4 miles, 44:33
11:35
10:46
10:57
11:13
Not a good run as my left leg feels heavy.
Just have to get Bernard to running shop now for shoes. I think it could be expensive for me.
Jj, i will have to ask the groundhog and get back to you.
K2, if the player had cawliflower ears he would be just like Mickey Mouse.
Chou, don't talk to me about americans. I am sick to death of them and I am not sorry if there is one reading it.
A TV station put up some adverts for a new cartoon (that I watch and love). Some brat called the police about it and all Chicago stopped while the bomb squad destroyed the little figures. They are completely self centered and paranoid.
I miss England...
I heard about that. You sound very angry today:-((
JJ
I know, I am just concerned because I always understood that one had to train through these races when in training for a marathon. Actually, I love weeks when I can taper, I get lots of jobs done that wouldn't normally get done!!! But you are right of course.
which leads me to my next question-------------
TS
what mileage did you do before BM?
are you doing Chichester 10k on Sunday. (I'm not). Also are you able to enter the Bognor 10k in May, we got entry forms yesterday.
........which does not fit my training plans at all!!!!

Sun 11.2
Mon 03.2
Tue 06.2
Wed 05.2
Thu rest
Fri 03.5
Sat 02.5
Sun 13.1 race
SO Sun to Sat 31.6 miles. Fri and Sat are purely "maintenance" days - I find it easier just to turn legs over than have a complete day off.
Next week doesn't sound too healthy:-((
JJ, I just watched on the news that unfortunatly General Beauregard Lee did not see his shadow. It means bad weather for the rest of the year.
As Garmin let me down yesterday the Bolsover 10k stopwatch was worn on left wrist with Garmin on rh wrist.
Think actually Garmin must have been discharged for this time it worked fine.
Stopwatch came in useful too as with some manipulation it was easy enough to gauge half mile times and compare results from both.
Ran all trail without circling lakes.
Milelaps,after 2mile warmup...
10.09, 9.19, 9.42, 9.41 and 9.25 including 3 faster paced half-miles of 4.08,4.06 and 4.09 7 miles total.
By using stopwatch I found Garmin readings show Training Centre times accurate compared to MotionBased which always have been a bit erratic when shown on PC.
TS,
Still no copy/paste here either :-(
Chouette,
I used to rely on kms last year but got cheesed off with that and soon went back to her Imperial Majesty - the mile :-)
Ceal,
For what it's worth, my first couple of miles in a half race have usually been
slowest but still achieved a pb, Shef 05 and Worksop 06. In my case, its not possible to start at a fast pace in any type of race, that much I have learnt :-))
apologies for delay and I know you must be holding your breath:))))
Hope this table comes out ok
Wk.Mon...Tue...Wed...Thu...Fri...Sat...Sun
1...3e...7e....5e....7e....5e....Rst....8e
2...3e...7e....5e....7T....5e....3e.....12e
3...3e...7e....5e....7T....6e....3e.....14e
4...3e...8e....5e....7T....5e....3e.....10e
5 taper....................................
e = easy pace
Rst= rest and one of the 3 mile days (MOn or Sat)may be taken as rest day as well if you are tired
T = tempo run. 1 mile warm up, then 5 miles building up pace with last 2 fastest, 1 mile cool down.
It is quite challenging in mileage but builds on what you have accomplished already and then gives a recovery period before the race itself.
have a look and any queries after recovering from the faint, fire away:-))
Impey
you were well tooled up then:-)
pleased the results coincided for you otherwise it would have been h*ll deciding what to take!!
copy/paste fine here...............
The two mile warmups were 10.35 and 10.50 before the laps shown. Some peeps probably do half a mile or 1 mile warming up but not me :-) Races are different, maybe I'll do just half or full mile before getting to start line.
Ceal, not running Chichester too near Wokingham for me. I'd love to do Bognor again but it falls on m-in-l's 70th birthday and not sure what Liz and her brother are planning yet.
Ceal you should have an e-mail
Mike T
TS - thank you. I have not fainted! 8-))
The mileage is fine, in fact rather less than I had been planning, but I do cherish my one rest day... and especially before the long run. I can easily do 6 miles on one day instead of 2 x 3, or spread out those 3 miles somehow else.
Already looking forward to the 7Ts!
Night night everyone.

Good night!XXX
JJ
I have lovely picture of Cordelia taking he first steps. They are memories to be treasured. More anerobic biking today??
Impey
I, personally, would never run as far as 6 miles as fast as possible. For me that would be too tiring. I would save that for a race!
Carp nights sleep, just to prove to myself that sleep and running have nothing to do with each other except after a race and speed session! I will be running later. Not decided what as yet.
