just a quick update; I'm physically still not right. My knee is a niggle but I probably aggrevated it with a cycle session. My right hamstring also complained after that. Now opting for proper rest and saying goodbye to a strong M'ton this month.....
Nearly tooled up my run today by going the wrong way. Eventually got back on track sort of. 9.2 miles, following part of the cycle route that I knackered my shin running. Thought I'd give it go and follow a shorter length of it. Nice route, but the path is like concrete. No issues this time though.
Lovely day for running and plenty of energy. Because I missed my route had to contend with pavements full of people. It's amazing how 2 people can manage fill an 8ft wide space. Nearly got run over as well but that was my own fault.
2 miles for me on the treadmill in 24 minutes, also did some weights and light cycling. Then hit the pool for an hour and a half. Quite enjoying the swimming, but not the same as running. Things will probably get better next week when the children go back to school and the pool I use is quieter.
5 miles this evening with about 1 mile of it off road. Felt a very slight pain behind my left knee cap over the last few hundred metres so I hope that doesn't develop into anything.
Did a nice steady 10k ready for my first race ever....Lichfield 10k on Sept 11th. My plan says not to run 10k again now til the race so just got four 5ks planned...that feels quite nice. Did it in 1 hour and 12 minutes and 30 seconds...I am quite happy with that Ran along the canals around Aldridge with my friend Jo.
Had 2 weeks of laziness, self indulgence and other commitments, but back on the road today, as I've realised a 10k race has creeped up on me this Saturday. Ran an 8km loop in 35mins, felt stronger as I get into the run, so in that respect I'm happy, but my target of a sub 40mins on Saturday looks unlikely.
0635 - out to Rimrose Valley Country Park between Litherland & Crosby: peaceful and serene, a contrast to the strange clankings from Liverpool Freeport container base. Home via the Coastal Park - note to self: must do this one again. 5 miles, give or take.
First run in genuinely soggy conditions this dinner time after a swift tour of the gym: 4.8 miles round Vic Pk, over to Crosby Coastal Park, quick beach section & back home. Gives me a rare 40-mile week
8 miles in the rain this morning in 1h18. Last long run before HM next weekend. I tried out an energy gel thing for the first time as I thought it would be better to give one a go before race day. Definitely gave me a boost, once I was able to get it down and keep it down!
5.57 miles in 48:49 at a very comfortable pace, longest run I have done since my knee injury. Could have run a lot further but felt a slight twinge in the right knee not sure if I'll ever be able to run any seriously long distances ever again. Shorter distances at a faster pace seems fine but as soon as I up the mileage my knee goes.
8.4 miles today all on road. Managed to dodge the rain again. Made up my route as I went along. A bit sluggish to get going and keep going. Not fatigued as such, just a bit flat. Fine though.
Deceptively warm morning for 9.5 miles on the coast N. of Liverpool; pretty much all trail, track & beach. Ran out of steam after an hour but 'twould've been so rude not to run
13.11 miles at a pretty conservative pace, went out with my training partner and she wanted to do a full half marathon distance as she's on holiday now for the 2 weeks leading up to her race.
Finally after not running for a month due to a hamstring problem, I managed to get out twice this weekend, Friday was a nice gentle jog of 6 miles in 1hr 20 mins and then yesterday after feeling good about Friday did 8 miles in 1hr 15 mins.
Oops.........meant to say hi everyone as well, nice to see your all keeping hard at it

5M Easy/Steady. Okay sort of run.
I initially was only intending running 4, but felt not bad so added an extra mile.
Tuzki: Good to have you back.
