4.2 miles in 34:30. Went off too fast and paid for it in the last mile. Am terrible at knowing what pace I am setting, will have to dust off the old heart rate monitor to help me gauge how hard I'm going.
Not looking forward to tomorrows run it's going to be ridiculously hot, hate running in heat like this.
2.91 miles in 24:01 along the Brighton promenade. Heat was unbearable, saw more runners than usual this morning, guess everyone getting their runs in earlier before it gets any hotter.
10.17 miles fartlek tonight. 3 mile warm up then 45 mins alternating between MP (7.00) and Tempo pace (6.26) for 3 mins each set then 1 mile cool down.
Hard session but a lot cooler than last night, it rained a bit aswell which felt great.
5.25 miles. The air was so heavy and humid it started me wheezing a little at first, and I was knackered by the end. Full of energy 20 mins later though, and pleased with what felt like my first proper run for a month. And my shin bone did not fall out or snap in two.
no running for me today or yesterday. Have been felled by, er, a couple of wasp stings. Disturbed a nest when looking for little DF's football in a bit of thicket. She escaped unharmed but I got stung 3 times and it's affected me a bit.
Off on hols on Friday - so may post very little over the next few weeks.
Nice to see the heat hasn't been putting anyone off.
Mondays workout was a 20 min tempo session @ 90% of my 10k pace with a 15 min warm up and warm down jog
Looking forward to tonight.....round 9 of 10 of my summer XC series, with only 6 results counting a good finish will push out a poor finish in one of the earlier races.
10 miles today at noon, regret the timing, i lost so much fluid and felt quite dehydrated at the end, even though i took fluids with me which i never do over that distance.
8.30am -2.5 mile run along the seafront. Only started running in February so am quite pleased with my progress seeing as I couldn't even run for three minutes when I started!
Failed miserably in round 9 of my XC series last night, felt good warming up but come race time the body just wasn't interested in running, legs were heavy and couldn't get my breathing settled. Even one of my non running club members even asked if I was okay as apparently I look liked death warmed up after making it across the finish line.
A rare double yesterday: 1.1 mile Streaksaver first thing, followed by 10 miles around Sefton Park, Calderstones and Allerton in Liverpool, 18. Many roads used to feature on earlier Liverpool HMs. Highlights: Sefton Park Palm House and the thousand-year-old Allerton Oak in Calderstones Park. Smashing
Congrats on the progress Anna. Good luck alib for Sunday - hope the weather is okay for a quick time.
6.4 miles today. With a few minutes break in the middle (went past the churchyard where my grandparents are buried so paid them a visit). Included some off-road running through sheep fields which was fun. Warm but not too humid. Fitness seemed fine, and slowly creeping the mileage back up without further injury so pretty happy with things.
Went out really late last night for my run due to being stuck right behind that bad accident on the M25.
3 mile warm up, 3 x 1 mile @ 10k pace with 2 min recoveries between sets, 3 x 600m @ 5k pace with 2 min recoveries and 3 x 200m @ 1500m pace with 2 min recoveries.
Hard session but surprisingly legs feel fine today.

Two days after 5KM race, got up at 8AM.
Been only training for one week following major had surgery (5 weeks doing nothing since 23-6-11)

Long undulating road, unknown area due to recently moving.. run just aimed to do around 25 minutes fairly quick
Wasn't too bad after all I suppose

Me: 8M home,warm and sweaty, just under 8m/M
Hard session but a lot cooler than last night, it rained a bit aswell which felt great.

10 miles for me on the treadmill in 1:25. Whilst at gym also cross trained, did weights, plus had an hour swimming.
Make the most of this hot weather why we still got it, think it will be raining tomorrow with cooler temperatures.
It was insanely hot and humid tonight when I went out at 5.30pm, done a 11.1 mile easy run. Lost nearly half a stone in bodyweight aswell.
3 mile recovery run tomorrow, very welcome after two 10 mile + runs in a row.
3.5M Steady run in pouring rain.
It felt easy, but then thats the point of this weeks active rest.
A lot cooler and a brief rain shower on the way round.
Legs still a bit stiff from yesterday but hopefully will be fine by tomorrow because got another killer of a session.
Good running everyone.
6.5 miles yesterday with some sprints. My legs soon felt tired and heavy as it was a session I wasnt used to.
10K race on Sunday so I will have today and tomorrow off as I would love a PB. Good luck to any of you racing this weekend.
