BOOOOO!!!!! Morning all. Check out the time... 5:56 and I've finished my run already (and bumbled about for about 15 minutes). Wow, how different are things during this taper gig? *twiddles thumbs and looks at sky* MCS: I think the answer to the sleep question is: badly, very, very badly... Glad the 17 miler went well for…
12 miles steady today, 10:20 out and 9:40 back to average 10:00 pace overall. The run felt so short - such a strange feeling! I wore my gel belt, laden with four gels, and almost forgot I had it on. I didn't actually consume any gels - it was just a test for comfort, and to ensure that the gels stay put. It's now packed in…
BoDuke wrote (see), I found a cigarette in the car on Monday. Looked at it, thought about it for about 10 seconds and them binned it!!! Yea me! your car sounds as tidy as mine! Not able to get on thread again until Sunday but have a great weekend.
Bo - good run this morning and really glad you still are in the honeymoon period with your running, so refreshing Yasso session for me last night went well - 2m warmup then 8x800's at avge of 3:30 (target 3:33) across the 8 with 400 recovery between reps then 1m cooldown. Did 6 a fortnight ago and plan to do 10 in a…
Louisa: They are good, and loads of tips on stretching and stuff too. How's your foot doing and did/are you getting your LSR in today? Good luck. Twinkle: Yep. I am now going to call myself a non-smoker and be a smug git... Been off the NRT for a week after being sick last week. Am eating much more though so will need to…
10 minutes is better than nowt and might help you sleep better... (nag over). It's understandable that you're distracted but get your head down - I'm going back tyo my routine of only checking email/social sites first thing as of tomorrow too! Here's something to cheer Sam up:
Craig - your splits are absolutely amazing for a first marathon, truly amazing - i can recognise Sam's 10/10/10k strategy which you seem to have used to the letter with great success - i am most impressed with those last 6 miles, which were your fastest by far, as this is the zone where a lot of folk fade or crash so to…
Ten - as a suggestion for you re your pacing during the run - 10 minute miling gives you 4:22 finish so as your target is 4:20 to 4:29 that fits - there will be mile markers so you can easily work out how you are doing at each mile marker just knowing the time - it also takes care of the fact that garmins under measure and…
boy that was a hard session !! hill reps - 3 x 10 mins with 2 min recovery up a 1 min hill so a total of 15 mins hard uphill - 2m w/up and 2m c/dn - fingers nearly fell off inside my gloves coming home - smoothies then peanut butter and jam on toast
