what - just finished moderate session at the gym, cycle, rowing and a swim. Treated myself to a sauna afterwards why - sore hip, so didn't want to run on it last hard day - monday last rest day - sunday
slowing things down in prep for sunday's 10 miler - Guy Fawkes 10 in Harrogate. anyone else doing it. I've heard it's a bit of a brut.
What: 5-7 miles steady Why: My training programme tells me to and I have no free will in this matter. Last hard day: Yesterday. 8 x 800m efforts in a seven mile run. Ow! Last rest day: Friday
Last night's session with (inter alia) a 35 minute 10K runner, and a woman who broke 78 mins for a half marathon 5 months ago has - unsurprisingly - hit me q hard. Therefore the plan is:
what: 5 miles easy why: see above last hard day: Tue last rest day: Sat
This week as been quite tough already. 12 miles off road Sunday, 9 miles off road Monday and 8 miles tempo pace on hills last night. Therefore today is going to be a gentle 1250m of front crawl at the local swimming pool.
Today: Would like to do a gentle 2-3 mile jog just to get some fresh air. Why: First recovery run after marathon. Last hard day: Sunday Last Rest: Yesterday
Looking forward to getting out again - I can honestly say I hate days off!
What: Easy 4/5 miler (weather is too pants to go out on my bike and I haven't sorted out a gym membership for the winter yet). Why: Recovering from last nights 10 mile fartlek with club that has developed into a gruesome workout with 3 long (1.5 - 1.8 mile) efforts at sub-10K pace. Last hard run: um..last night LAst rest day: monday
Going to gym tonight to do rowing workout, apparently its a good cardiovascular workout, but is easy on the old knees.
Pernickity, when my grandchildren had Chicken Pox my daughter got something from the chemist I think it was called Piriton, it relieves the itching, it also sent them to sleep, not sure what age group can take it.
What: one hours tennis lesson Why: because my coach says that I cannot move up with all my chums unless i pull my socks up and heckling at the back during lessons will no longer be tolerated
Martin I should be very embarrassed - not run a step since 19th October. I think all my aches are just about cleared up now so I guess its time to build a new schedule.
As I'm on the road for 4:30 am tomorrow I guess it will be Friday before it starts!
So, a pretty mixed bag for the forum training today eh, but enough people like MM to kep us on our toes! Chicken pox - good you're getting it out of the way while they're small PB. No 'granny always said' type remedies to pass on alas.
What: favourite xcountry route, at 75% WHR (target marathon training effort, well that's the theory) Why: gorgeous day here, and haven't been off road for 10 days due to the weather mainly. Got back to the car and couldn't believe I'd taken 3 mins off my previous PB (set about 2 months ago) without thinking about it. Moral - don't chase time, it won't want to play. (Anyone else find they never set PB's when they plan to?) Last rest: yesterday last hard: Mon
What: Swim, Sauna, Jacuzzi Why: Still recovering from playing football against a bunch of thugs who kept mistaking me for the ball. I loved football before I took up running - now I don't! WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

Pernickity, when my grandchildren had Chicken Pox my daughter got something from the chemist I think it was called Piriton, it relieves the itching, it also sent them to sleep, not sure what age group can take it.
