I do dip in and out occasionally, mostly lurking away in the background. I find this site the most useful ever and have gained a great deal from it. In fact over the past year I have progressed from panting and struggling around a 5k to panting and struggling around a 1/2, now that's progress!!
I'm off to trot a 1/2 marathon distance any minute now in fact, following the RW half training schedule.
All the best
Sue
Probably too late to wish you luck, but I will do it anyway. Was that this years RW half schedule or last years?
You have made immense progress over the last year, a lot of hard work must have gone on. I am sure that Maggie and Gemini will be spurred on by your progress.
Please report back how you have done in your half today.
Talk to you later------
Sorry good morning peeps, beautiful day.
How's the pin JJ?
How's the neck Maggie?
Gemini, Athletics sounded a bit of a let down last evening, it seems that none of our athletes were able to perform at their best.
What session are you doing today Spud?
Hows my famous Hippo?
Bullfinch I think you must be due back from your hols.
attempting the long plod/walk/crawl today
Pin's much improved thanks. I'm feeling a little more hopeful that it won't be a long job.
Excellent London social last night so I'm feeling my age this morning.
JJ
I had a good night out last pm and know exactly what you mean about feeling one's age this am. I shall feel it all day until I sleep again! Good job it is a rest day otherwise it would be an enforced rest day!
There is another question for you, from me, on the previous page, when you feel a bit more human!! If you miss this posting I will copy and paste the question later in the day!!!!!!!!!
back tomorrow
no running, BAD hippo
???Eccentric?
Moi?
I've backtracked to that question. I never measure these things very precisely but I add on the very gentle warmup time at the start but include in the 6 miles the last part of the warmup when I begin to move faster.
Warmdowns are a very movable feast. I would do only a nominal one if I've done an easier training run but if it's been a very hard session I would want to warm down properly and it would be an addition.
JJ
followed by cold water treatment and bath
ran for 62:55 was probably about 5.5 miles ran most of it apart from a few stops here and there wasn't sure of distance so i've just measured it on map24 feel okay took it slower maybe next week i'll do the 6 miles, try and measure it in advance before then, but otherwise pretty pleased
How do you feel, now that it is afternoon? I feel dreadful! I cannot wait to sit down this afternoon after lunch and hopefully nod off!!!!!!!!!!
No run today but the neck is feeling much better, not gone but only a slight twinge!
Picked up the puppy this morning so I've been rather distracted. She is beautiful!
A boxer called Cass after Cassius Clay!
I am off for a post birthday treay today, girls afternoon doing flotation (not tried it before) followed by dinner and the cinema! Lucky me!
I hope all are well and I will check on you tomorrow when I have more time.
boxers are absolutely adorable
I so enjoyed the run, my average HR was 132, I finish my run at a kiddies paddling pool, so off come the trainers almost as good as an ice bath, especially today, I must have looked a right prawn sitting there at the side of the pool just enjoying the feeling of a good relaxing run.
I'm going to do it again next week just to proove that it wasn't a fluke!!!
have to go now to play with some percentages and charts :-((
Be back later
Sue
I have tried some of the on line map measurers such as trailblazer, but I think I must be doing something wrong, because it is just not very accurate when compared with an OS map.
I just peeped in but I have to play with my charts again I'm afriad
Back later
JJ, how is that lovely leg of yours?
Hi Maggie, great news about the dog and the neck.
Hi Ceal!
Gemini, actually, the record for shot computer is 17 metres and done by a russian.
Hi Sue, welcome to the mad house.
Tell us more about yourself.
JJ if you log in at all how are you feeling, I am just starting to feel human again!
last day tomorrow
Hi Superspud.
Knee's marginally less painfull, thanks Spud & Ceal, but I'm getting closer to chewing the door post with each passing day.
Just finished listening to Mahler's 1st. Symphony on Beeb 2. Absolutely brilliant. Not for nothing is it named Titan'.

JJ
Quite a lot of good stuff on training in the latest Runners World including a good bit on older runners' recovery and amount of rest needed.
JJ
I have not received the latest RW yet, therefore, look forward to reading/receiving it.
legs feel fine. dreading waking up today to find them stiff.
