I bet you've never been called a tart before WW.

Club night 1 or 2 hour run depends how I feel.

Thanks Laura and Hilly - yes if I get into FLM, I will do it and be aiming for sub 3:30. Cheque has been cashed but I'm a bequeather. I've entered the Connemara Marathon too. If I get into FLM I'll do a half at Connemara. If I don't I'll do the 26.2 in the wild west of Ireland (do join us...check it out at www.connemarathon.com)

Morning everyone. Damp, mild, light winds here - should be nice for this evening if weather holds like this.

what: quality session with Wirral AC runners, starting from Hoylake prom. Don't know the details yet - will provide afterwards. If it's anything like last week, the prospect fills me with anticipation and dread in equal amounts!

why: cos you wouldn't in your right mind pass up a chance to train with athletes the same standard or better if they're doing so less than a mile from your doorstep

last hard day: last Tue
last rest day: Mon

morning all

What - 5 mile fartlek - might try 1min fast with 5 mins recovery (well see how long I can do that for)
Why - haven't done any speed work in ...ohhh ages. I was supposed to be taking a newbie out to show him my training route but he's made the classic beginners mistake of doing too much too soon (despite me saying he only needed 10 mins at the moment) and is hobbling around.
Last Rest day - Sat
Last Hard Day - Sunday 10k race

mmmm...marmite

What: 10 mile fartlek with club (unless they're all off to play with fireworks).
Why: Regular Tuesday session.
Last hard run: Will be tonight
Last rest day: yesterday.

BTW, my bloody arms and shoulders are still killing me from Saturday :-(

What: 5 miles easy pace on hilly route.
Why: Still recovering from cold and anything too hard makes me cough!
Last hard: Last Thursday.
Last rest: Sunday.

Did a short 2.5 mile route last night as was first day back after heavy cold and a few days off, so didn't want to overdo it. Felt very strong and ran well, so hope to pick up the distance tonight without any adverse side-effects.

OK, I want to play.

What: Nothing. Upsetting, as I have the day off.
Why: Got to rest my ITB's. And did a hard one yesterday. Physio wants me to do a brisk 5K tomorrow as final fitness test for Sunday race.
Last hard day: Um, yesterday. 8K about as quick as I could manage. Test of ITB's/new shoes. Went very well. :-)
Last rest day: Sunday

There. That wasn't too difficult! :-)
