Badbark - how is your training plan going? Are you finding the lack of non running days an issue or a benefit?

Badbark

07/01/2013 at 12:56

Keir – Training is going great so far thanks.

I’m up to 65 miles a week and taking a rest day about every 10 to 14 days. I managed a 19 mile LSR with the final 3 at MP on Saturday. 7.5 miles easy yesterday including 8 x 8 second hill sprints, and 6 miles including 4 x 5 mins at 10k pace this morning. I’m niggle free so very happy at this stage.

I’m really enjoying lurking on your thread by the way!

Looks like a good bit of training Badbark - going well! What oace did you do the first 16 of your LSR before the last 3 MP miles?

Love the list and everyone's targets. Intersting to see the progression of people and thei targets .

KR – The first 16 were just run easy without much attention to pace. It ended up about 7:45 average which is about MP + 1 min

Over the last 6 months I have been changing from a heel striker to more of a mid/fore foot striker. I’ve adjusted my cadence from about 165 to 180 bpm by listening to a 180 bpm metronome sound on my ipod. Subsequently, due to a running economy improvement my easy pace is now about 7:45 while it used to be about 8:00 for the same HR.

Sorry - I seem to have messed spacing up and dont know how to fix!

Had a read back and congrats to Speedy on her County Selection.

A recovery run followed by a 9 miler with a couple at PMP over the weekend. 8 aerobic tonight in the returning rain! Badbark - what did the process of footstrike change involve? I was tinkering with hip alignment trying to get my glutes firing and noticed that this changed my footstrike.

Impressive improvement BB. I seems like you have been putting some good thought and research into your running. Those hill strides you put the link to the other day must have helped. Are you also focusing on your posture / arm carriage? That fast finish LSR is a good one to do early in the campaign. How did the MP bit feel?

Menna the space cadet!

Gul, I'm not upset about being ignored, so don't worry....

(I assume that I did mention my 21 mile run, 57 mile bike, and energetic Dad dancing?)

Can some kind soul add my name to the list? (can't copy / edit on phone)

7th July: Outlaw Triathlon - sub 12

BB, I'm aiming to make the same transition - shorter stride, better posture, higher cadence, lower drop shoes - where did you get the metronome app from?

DS2

07/01/2013 at 17:54

Glad to see the list is getting ever longer! Have been laid low with this pesky virus so not much on here. Only managed 3 easiesh runs last week plus a 50 minute spin on the turbo last night but seem to be better today so am commencing my 18 week 55-70 P&D tomorrow.

Lots of reading back to do!!!

Slight hiccup on the Jantastic front - I have come down with the dreaded lurgy (aka a streaming cold). I did get my morning run in, but this evening's has been canned in favour of a hot bath. I may still make target if I stop snotting by tomorrow night though.

07/01/2013 at 20:15

bloody hell CC, day one and you're pulling a sickie ! I was plodding along (with my recently under mileage body groaning and snot flying) to keep my end up and you let yours drop on day one.

I keep getting emails telling me that someone or other (i havnt got a scooby who they all are - cos its proper names) is rivalling me ! Whats that all about ? I thought it was a team thing.

Ant van Oviedo

07/01/2013 at 20:29

TR - Yeah, I've been getting those - a bit random, I think. It is an individual thing, too, but I can't see the point of rivalling someone i don't know.

Speedy - Have a quiet word with yourself.

Edited: 07/01/2013 at 20:29

Minni

07/01/2013 at 20:34

I've rivalled you all - just to add a bit of pressure.

heading out now for my first Jantastic run. It's cold, wet and dark...

07/01/2013 at 20:38

Ant - I didnt accept any just in case its no one I know, or it accepts them all (I recognised some of the names). I dont want to go picking a fight with a proper runner. I have 3 non running days a week, and i want to keep them.

Minni - agreed, sack it off and sit on the setteee drinking some wine (I recognised your name - and I ran twice today !).
