Hi all

Did 6 miles today and like Debbo had a devil of a time keeping the HR down. I am shattered after this week and all the travelling and there is some very stressful stuff happening in my family so just trying to keep going really.

Yes Josie - look after yourself and then you'll be better placed to support your family. Your HR will go down too, if you aren't as stressed!

Short gym session this morning and 9k run tonight with others.

Have a 3k race on Friday and a hilly 10 miler so a good test of fitness.

3ks are so very hard for a slow runner like me, I do try to stay with the others for at least the first 100 meters and suffer for it the rest of the race. I am expecting to be last as usual.

Sorry the hilly 10 mile race is on Sunday not Friday.

The thought of doing a 3k makes me shudder. I still haven't done a 5k!
I'm a wimp!

Shades the only 5ks I have done have been RFL.

3K Arrrggghhhh, I'd have to run a mile or so before hand just to get my legs moving.

Well I feel much better so all your hugs have worked a treat :-) and if any young lady wants a house broken bloke who LOVES commitment, just drop me a line I might just have one going spare at my house in a couple of weeks :-)

Well after Sundays dodgy run I have had a couple of blinders!!!

I had to do my 3M 70% run last night as Jumpet Jnr was off school with a cricked neck. I ran at 7pm and was NOT in the mood. However, after my warm up, I started running faster and faster and faster but my HR just crept up. I did the first mile at 9:58 mm the second at 10:29 mm and the third at 11.16 mm all at the correct HR.

Today was speed work. I had to do 1M of strides, which consisted of increasing speed to a sprint over 100m then jogging 100m back. I got up to 6mm towards the end.
Then I had to do 3 x 400m at 80% WHR with 200m recoveries. I amnaged 9:17 mm, 8:58 mm and 8:43 mm again at the right HR.
To say I'm pleased is an understatement :-)

Josie at those speeds you would do very well at 3ks. I wonder what it feels like to run at 6mm if only for a few meters or so.

I will do a few strides myself on Friday if I have enough time before the start, I am usually queuing for the toilet at the start of races!!

Good luck Jane.

I might try and find some 3km races near me.

I was running with my brother on holiday at a nice 11 to 12 min mile pace. Towards the end I opened up a bit to 10 min mile just to stretch my legs a bit 'Oh we're sprinting now' he says. I pushed it to 7 min miling ' No' I said ' this is sprinting'. He was impressed :-)

Josie I am impressed with 7 min miling too :))

6 steady off-road miles this morning, nice and cool with a light breeze. A bit muddy in places on my route.

3k race this afternoon. Managed 17.04 and it was hard, second half a bit slower than the first bit, have coughed and coughed all the way home so it means my lungs were really working their hardest. Did a much more sedate recovery run of 30 mins afterwards.

10 miler on Sunday.
