What: Zilch
Why: After pushing on in yesterdays 7 mile race (and setting a new PB) my legs are refusing to play.
Last Hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: Saturday
What: Meant to be '5M easy including strides'. But as all roads and paths have turned from lovely grippy packed snow to wet lumpy ice, this will probably translate as '5 miles of slithering, slipping and falling over'
Why: I don't know, I really don't know
Last hard: Friday, pre thaw
Last rest: Saturday. And Sunday, as only managed 25 minutes of slithering.
I'll go away and stop whinging now.
Snicks is back onto sensbile forum, after losing the plot leading up to Dublin....
What: a swim or gentle run
Why: recovering from Dublin Marathon - this time last week, I was just over half way!
Last hard: Last Monday, although, I did a lot of Body Balance (yoga based workout) and muscles were much more achey after that than after marathon
Last rest: yesterday - completely hungover!

Snicks: laura, hilly & drew do still post but drew's been on hols in florida for the last 2 weeks
BTW that photo suggests one of the Buds is still in your mouth - what are you planning to do with it!?
Why: Haven't done anything since Wednesday due to still recovering from heavy cold and terrible weather. Have a chesty cough which is not helped by a run! Hoping to get back on track this week, but don't want to push it too hard tonight.
Last hard day: Last Monday.
Last rest: Friday, Saturday, Sunday ...
Feeling very cross with myself that I haven't been for a run since Thursday - normally run right through colds!
What: steady 5 miles

Last hard day: Thursday as I wimped out of Friday's run due to bad weather (and don't give me any of that ("... just inappropriate clothing" crap).
What: Nothing
Why: SORE from yesterday's half, and have a nice new blister too.
Last hard: Yesterday
Last Rest: The whole of last week (not recommended half marathon preparation!)
why: it wasn't my idea. set off for 6 but got lost
last hard: er... been injured, so I've got an excuse
last rest: yesterday
What: 5.2 miles easy
Why: Recovery run
Last hard run: A long long time ago
Last rest: 9 days ago
After reading in RW of people's running streaks of 30+ years, I thought I would start a mini one. Going to try for 100 days, running every day. Up to 8 days at the moment. At least this way I will be able to force myself out of the door in the midst of winter.

Feel totally refreshed but it doesn't take long to get fed up again does it ?
So having not done any running for 9 days I'm going for a gentle 5 miler tonight.
It also looks like I've got plenty of race reports to plough through....
Why: Bought some new shoes - Brooks Beast - so had to try them immediately...
Last hard: Sat
Last rest: Fri
Why: too busy at work
Last hard day: yesterday
Last rest day: all last week!
Snicks, belated congratulations on Dublin. 3:42 is b***dy great. How did you manage that amazing negative split?????
why: rest day and Mrs G is off home for 2 weeks so I will not be cooking for 2 (or 1)for a while - I can almost hear the violins.
2 weeks of running snacks and intensive training hear I come
you wont see me for dust at brighton
(i'm going to run with a big bag of dust)
What: (am)swim 50x25m front crawl. (pm)1 hour of circuit training
Why: Extra day off work so could manage 2 workouts and I don't run on a Monday very often.
Last hard: 10k yesterday
Last rest: Saturday
Glad your back's better Wild Will, as for all of you who're moaning about not having run enough on your hot and sunny holidays, well my heart bleeds for you. Get out there NOW, and get wet like the rest of us!
What: 8 * hill reps ("What? It was only 6 last time coach!"), jog 'recovery' (read chest burning stagger back down again).
Why: Club session. Well come on, you don't think I'd do that sort of thing on my own do you?
For some strange reason I find hill reps are marginally less dreadful than long intervals on the pain continuum.
Last hard: tonight
Last rest: Fri.
And 5 miles walking about re jobs
