13 today, 730s. Makes the 3 week comeback in mileage,10-34-60.5. The 60.5 having some light efforts. Right mix of stepping it back up, but at the right time. Definitely wouldn't have been right doing Reading HM today. Saw someone else I follow on strava saying they'd been coughing recently, and they ended up doing 1hr 28…
Quality 5k SC. Cheers Jools. SG - Sounds like you're in pretty much the same boat as me with some variation in timing. I managed to brave the first Hiit class this morning. I'd wanted to do a couple a week in the final 4 weeks but I couldn't really partake in a class with others only to fall to my haunches and have a…
That sounds a bit stressful, TR. For all the amazingness of London, I guess it does have some drawbacks. Impressive 3.02 given the change of target, and especially so with that HR. Recover well and enjoy some summer races.
SC - off 20seconds :D Did 200s off 30s once but 20seconds, I think even in the tediously repetitive gub we have lavished over for a decade hasn't actually come up before, so kudos :)
ps it's probably time for another shout out for any lurkers. Having lost Phil Minestrone Jones, Bus and Power Pete from being regulars, and our youngest and most handsome poster Joe currently battling a recovery, we probably need some new blood.
If you have Boston listed in your upcoming races then the Fetch calculator will give you a prediction based on the previous 8 weeks training. You can retrospectively add the race & it will still work. I can certainly recommend Newport as a low key, local alternative to London. Logistics are so simple.
I've only read this page so I am not sure exactly what's occurred recently but well done all. Sounds like relays success and nearly a medal. I'll have a proper read back later. SQ big week of 31m, I assume that should be 81! Like SG, I have been a coughing, spluttering mess the last few days. I planned some good raining…
SQ - There are three techniques to the sled. The hardest is the classic outstretched arms. Much easier is arms bent and shoulders to the post. Easier still is arms vertically downwards palms around knee height and head pretty much over the centre pole. For the heavy weights, I have to use the last technique as it gets your…
SQ - it was impressive that you finished. I'd have probably found a pub with a log fire along the route and stayed there! Good to read you're recovering ok. SG - I've done one xc race this year so I totally get the year passing you by feeling, but sometimes you just need to be patient and let it come to you. Reg - how was…
