FL - Legs, arms, stomach are all aching nicely thanks! The head hurt a bit as well, but I think that was the wine.
I'm having a day off today.......I mentioned to the missus I might go for a run, but she didn't seem keen.
Just read on the Swansea link that the guy who came second in Snowdon was up at 7a.m. this morning and going for a run........!
I'll be back training tomorrow...
Looking forward to the S4C coverage tonight. If my ugly mug is shown, I hope I wasn't grimacing too much. To be honest I'm grateful they had a camera on Waunfawr because I was about to walk but spotted the camera in the distance and didn't want to be seen walking up the hill.
Good to hear your in pain mate, shows you put your all into it. Didn't watch the coverage last night as I went to see Burke and hare. Will watch it later.
Think I'm finally on the mend from this cold! So looking to get me head down and into this 10k training plan.
Hope your feeling better today, rest up this week as we need you for the West Glams on Sunday.
Everything still aching like hell this morning.....
Glad to hear your cold is getting better, sounds like it was a nasty one. I've been taking vitamin C very day for the last couple of weeks, not sure if it makes a difference?!
I'll go for a short run this evening to get the legs moving again.
West Glams - urgh.......can't think about that at the moment.
Well I did the first speedwork session of the 10k plan tonight. 5 x 2k's tried to hold them to 6:50 but failed miserably!!! did 6:50, 6:56, 7:16, 7:30, 7:19. did the first one and a half with FM then the other 3 on my own. Not too worried at the moment as I have just got over this cold, just hope I can get them together in the next few weeks.
Aye, it was ok - only did 7 miles, between 6:20 and 7:00 mile pace apart from one where I swallowed a fly and spent a while coughing and running. I hate doing that, still I guess it's worse for the fly.
Intervals on your own are difficult - it's too easy to fall back off the pace.
Legs are still quite tight, but getting better - I'm still getting the stretching done a few times a day which have helped with the recovery.
Do you know what the plan is for Aber - I assume it's still on? Are we car sharing? I know another good runner that might like to come up with us. Maybe we can convert him to PTH as well!
Do you ever run easy? As for Aber its still on and NST said some thing about having a night up there after the race? would you be up for that? And yes it is definitely still on. Whos the other runner?
Yes stay some where in Aber on Sunday night. We have stayed in a tidy place by the cinema a few times and its about £17 only for the bed no food but clean and tidy, does the job. But not set in stone that we will stay the night. If not I will be taking my car and you will be welcome to get in with me.
Morning FM, thanks for the kick start on the 2k's last night, It fell off fast after you went!!!! but it was the first session and lots of time to work on it yet.
And I meant what I said about the paperwork being ready for you to sign mate
Earlier I did 4 x 1 mile intervals at ave 5:31 - and a few miles on top to warm up / down. Thighs still a bit tight at the end of session because of marathon, but should all be gone by weekend.
I'm going to keep the 1 mile intervals and on a different night, do some 400m intervals which should in time improve my 1 mile interval times?! I think.....?
OK - more than 5 can be in a team but only the first 5 will score, but if we don't get 5 then any number up to that number will score. Hopefully we can get a full team though!

FF, how did your run go today?
Aye, it was ok - only did 7 miles, between 6:20 and 7:00 mile pace apart from one where I swallowed a fly and spent a while coughing and running. I hate doing that, still I guess it's worse for the fly.

Owain Jones - Swansea harrier, did 3:02 in Snowdon. Nice guy.
Yes, I ran very easy last night - was worried someone might ask me if I needed help crossing the road, my legs were that stiff!
A night up there? Isn't it a Sunday night? Are you saying to stay in a hotel?
Yes stay some where in Aber on Sunday night. We have stayed in a tidy place by the cinema a few times and its about £17 only for the bed no food but clean and tidy, does the job. But not set in stone that we will stay the night. If not I will be taking my car and you will be welcome to get in with me.
Not sure if I know Owain.
OK - we'll see what happens nearer the time, not sure if I can stay as I have to take a day's annual leave and I've only got a few left for Xmas....

Morning FM, thanks for the kick start on the 2k's last night, It fell off fast after you went!!!! but it was the first session and lots of time to work on it yet.

Bryn, thanks for the session tonight mate, just need to get used to the slower recovery bits as I always tend to push too hard!!!
FF, how you keeping down there?
FL - good thanks.
What intervals did you do?
Last night did 9 hilly miles at a quickish pace.
Earlier I did 4 x 1 mile intervals at ave 5:31 - and a few miles on top to warm up / down. Thighs still a bit tight at the end of session because of marathon, but should all be gone by weekend.
I'm going to keep the 1 mile intervals and on a different night, do some 400m intervals which should in time improve my 1 mile interval times?! I think.....?
We did 1m slow 1m fast-5:371m slow 1m fast-5:22 1mile slow then 2m fast-5:53 then slow home. 9m in total.
Sounds like your recovering very well. Some good sessions being done.
About time too. Did the rest of your run go ok?
Yes, just hope we get 5. What time you going down?
NST, you coming to watch?
I'm going to get there early as parking is a nightmare........not sure what time I'll leave yet, what about you?
Just had a large chocolate brownie and ice cream, that should add a few minutes to the run!
NST - not running?
