Club run tonight 5/6 miles probably my last with this club as I finish here in wet Dumfries next week.
A bit of advice and moral support needed now: I can now run for 2 hours non stop but am absolutely knackered by the end. I have my doubts about being able to keep on my legs for around 5 hours, am I just having the jitters.

What: 5 to 6 miles steady, same as yesterday
Why: realised I need to build mileage to get my weight down before worrying too much about speedwrork
Last rest: Monday
Last hard:Tuesday.
What: Club run this evening.
Last hard: Tuesday.
Last rest: Yesterday.

Last Hard: Tuesday's killer
Last Rest: Monday
What:- 5-6 tempo miles
Why:- The quicker I run, the less time i'll be out in this horrible weather.
What - speedwork - uh oh. Or maybe a long run instead.
Why - Missed speedwork session yesterday because of a LAME EXCUSE! (Started work at 7.00 a.m., worked though the day, got on a plane at 7.00 p.m., home at 8.30 p.m. and failed to go out for a run either before I started work or after I got home. I should be ashamed of myself....)
It won't last. Have to play with hydrofluoric acid this morning. Penetrates your body tissues, dissolves your bones and poisons your blood, leading to amputations and/or agonising death. Scares me somewhat! :-(
Enough chit-chat.
What: Probably weights.
Why: I'm losing my Adonis-like upper body definition (yeah, right) through running. Oh, and I'm not allowed to run tonight.
Rest: Tuesday.
Hard: Ages ago.
WHAT – (Lunch) Circuit Training (PM) 7-8 run at varying speeds (I'd say Fartlack - but I can't spell it)
WHY – Strength and club sessions
LAST HARD DAY – Tuesday

Will
What: Attempting to keep from belting the bloke who will give my chemo... oh and don't forget the necessary pumping of arms 20,000 times to get the vein to show itself.
Why: last of aggressive chemo ... wheeeee!!! Only 8 more to go after today!
Last hard day: either yesterday - work was tough [students who should be failed before they start!] or today can't decide.
Last easy day: Can't remember.
What: About 6 miles steady
Why: Want to start making one of my mid-weekers gradually longer
Last hard - Brighton 10k on Sunday
Last easy - yesterday
Fluctuating at the mo between "hurrah, I'm going to run the Paris marathon" and "oh gawd, what am I thinking of".
Neil

Next Saturday morning going to try for 12 miles at sun rise but no promises (probably means 6 miles before lunch!)
What: Probably 4 miles over hilly route with 3-5 x 2-minute intervals, depending on how energetic I'm feeling.
Why: Really need to start back on the weekly speedwork session now my body's used to the hills.
Last hard: Tuesday (tempo run).
Last rest: Yesterday.
Am trying to hassle the Department into getting the second-floor shower fixed (believe it or not, someone has stolen the shower head and the holder!) so I can run in Hyde Park at lunchtimes if I feel like it - prefer to be able to do some sessions on the flat!
Why: Thursday session
Last hard run: today
Last rest day: monday
mile warm-up, 10K @ goal 1/2M pace (38:21, I was trying for 6:10 pace average but ended up fractionally outside of this), mile cool-down. Tired, but not too flat.
Why: Need to take it easy today
Last hard day: yesterday
Last rest day: Saturday
Achilles, a turbo trainer just lets you ride your bike at home. A 40 minute ride on it is more effective than 80 minutes outside. Gets a bit monotonous and boring after 40 minutes, worse than a treadmill.
Oh first track session tonight.
Already making excuses not to go, tummy ache, headache etc.
think I'll pass on the turbo trainer - treadmill I can cope with, stationary bike NOOOOOOOOO, get me outta here.
Neilruns - my parents lived in Tunbridge Wells for a couple of years (can't think what possessed them). it must have been sunny on occasion, it's just that I never noticed. great countryside, though.
I did 55min on my turbo last night - and nearly crashed it - i was laughing at the film shrek and slipped )
I find watching a movie help remove the boredom
Oh sorry I got mixed up that was 1976 -
Raining (surprise!)
WHAT - Steady 6 miler
WHY - Because I had chips and digestives for lunch!
Last Hard Day - Hhhmmm. Last week.
Last Rest Day - Yesterday.
Happy thurdays....
I’ve been looking at headphones though as my wife complains at the volume – my farther has a set of wireless headphones but these look a bit bulky for use on the turbo trainer – so I’m looking for something along the same lines but smaller that fit in my ears as opposed to being giant earmuffs
I’ll let you know if I find any thing
Why: speed sesh - it's got to be done
Last rest: yesterday - enforced
Last hard: I'm not sure
Thoroughly enjoyed it today. Running in the rain in Regent's Park. Strange, nutter-type man with goggle eyes and two dogs, shouted: 'Oh, baby! Yessss!' ... How lovely! Not sure whether he was re-living something, or just plain mad! (under no illusions that I should illicit this response from a sane man...)
