Well done to everybody who took part in the race last week-end. You sound like you enjoyed it! and the puddles, and the mud....!
SiT, how is your baby, hope is well.
What: speed session on the Treadmill:
warm up 10 min @ 9.0k/h
3x 400m @ 11.5k/h
warm down 10 min @ 8.0k/h
last rest: yesterday but did BodyPump
Last hard: this morning
what again: tonight 5.3K normal or easy( just see how the legs feel)
Happy Running!
Mary and Lucas released from hospital today so big relief all round and thoughts can go back to the training programme.
What: 10 miles steady run in 85 mins
Simon
Why: mid week longish run
Last rest: yesterday
The thought of 8 800 metres in 2:20 is enough to make me break out in a sweat also
Simon
Last r
What: As you might have twigged, rest day.
Why: Eight-day schedule at the moment - training for seven days, resting on the eighth.
Last hard: Hilly 45 minutes yesterday
Last rest: Monday last week
Achilles, who needs Horwill?!
Have the adv of being a former, (poss again one day) 800m/1500m runner... speed isn't the issue - trying to increase the quantity and decrease rest as first marathon (FLM)coming up soon..... Fine on these sessions - can't 'get into' long runs. Still do them with sufferance
What - 5M, supposedly at marathon pace (9min/mile) but altho I pushed it as hard as I could I averaged about 10min/mile - never mind, my body was telling me it was a fast pace run!
Why - swapped with my speedwork (Yasso 800s) session as the weather was SO awful this morning I couldn't face intervals!
Last rest - yesterday
Last hard - 10k race on Sunday
I can happily run a track or rep session for hours, but find it hard to run on roads for that long - used to run on the fells and hills near where I live for hours, but dodgy ankle mean I haven' tried that in a year or so.. roads seem so tedious - maybe i should dust the fell shoes off and give it a go again...
thanx for the advice...
What: 3.5miles ish
Why: shedule says so
Last Hard Day: Saturday
Last Rest Day: Yesterday
Pretty much sticking to the shedule, occasionally swop or alter things slightly to fit in with the rest of life.
What: 10 miles to include either mile reps or 2*2's for speed work.
Why: striving for that marathon pb!
Last hard: Sat
Last rest: Thurs
what - club night(speed work)
why-speed?
last hard-2hr run yesterday
last rest-week last saturday!
Enjoy all!!
What: 30 x 440yd, continuous running reps done at 10k pace then marathon pace. After a miserable week of training, i felt like i was flying.
Why: Again aiming for a significant PB
Last hard run: virtually all my 6 runs last week. Stupid!!!!!!
Last Rest Day: Yesterday. Ab fab
Bye for now,
Chatterbox - isn't that the dreaded Horvill variable vomiter I see you posting?
As for me, did my 7 miler by adding on what I guessed to be 2 miles onto 5 mile loop, please let it be further than that as it took me 1.10! Quads still protesting, obviously what I got out of thundering down the final downhill at Helsby I will now pay back with interest.
No that little speciality is for Thursday's session. Well done at Helsby. I'm surprised you're back running so soon!
What:- 1 hr steady running, think that is 8 - 8.5 miles, bit wet and muddy beside the Thames
Why:- Keep the April Marathon option open, Stratford looks likey
Last hard:- Sunday (17 miles in 2 hr) - still feeling it a bit
Last rest:- yesterday
What : Some sort of speed work ( any suggestions ?)
Why : Cos I slept in
Why: schedule ...
Last hard: Sun
Last rest: Fri
back hurts
So playing catchup all week
Snicks, FAB piccie
LauraL, I have been reading to all the good advice given to me on previous thread.That's why I split my session into 2 as it was a bit too much for me previously. I'm glad I did it as I found it "easier"in a way and my legs feel better too. Thanks for asking.
Did planned mile reps *5 and for some reason even an hour later my stomach is feeling very queesy.
Did 2 mile warm-up 5*1mile in 6.30,6.33,6.37,6.33,6.35 off 2.30 jog recoveries, then another mile slowly before returning home over the same 2 miles I did as warm-up. The first rep was maybe a little too fast, but I suppose that's normal and is what normally happens at the beginning of a race.
More near 5k pace than 10k I feel. This better do me some justice because it certainly hurt!
1/2 girl-impressive having two runs in a day. A good way to build up your running if you can cope with it, which you obviously can.
Laura and all weekend racers'-no slacking I see, good on you!
1 mile fast
3/4 mile with 4*1-200m sprints with jogging intervals of 45 secs - 1 min
half mile limping
half mile jogging/running
200m clutching knee and swearing
50m making it look good for the neighbours
why: don't have a schedule (never follow them) for reading half so just going to keep training a lot (4-6 times a week) and varying the sessions length and effort to keep it fresh.
plan over next few days (will change) - light cross train and weights tomorrow
thursday - 13.1 mile (almost to the yard) run home from work.
1 hour steady around 7 miles - I think
Last hard: yesterday - but it felt easy
Last easy: today - but it felt hard
Off tomorrow due to work - hills on Thursday
Happy running etc..
Why? they raced at the weekend and I'm easing myself back in.
Planned a gentle 4 miler for the evening, but discretion proved the better part.
Hilly, I feel sick too, just reading what you did!
(must move to Dorset - the sun's always shining in your pics)
Snicks, also getting in the mood for Coniston with your pic I hope (you do cross a few cattle grids on that run).
Night all.
Why; Starting to enjoy speedwork !!!
Last hard; Dartford on sunday
Last rest: Monday No swimming cossie
Quads have eased quite a lot now though.
