Gym last night 20 mins rower, 10 mins multi trainer, hill profile on treadmill 15 mins, usually do weights, felt like a change so did something different.
Club night tonight, 6/7 miles we'll see how it goes.

What: Hoping to fit in a maintenance run of 5-7 miles.
Why: Back to training! Scratched yesterday's swim in favour of an early night because I was very tired - nothing to do with the GNR and everything to do with having stayed up until 4am working then getting up at 7am for school runs.
Last hard day: Sunday.
Last rest day: Yesterday.

Morning.

MartinH, sounds like if your legs get any stiffer you won't actually be able to walk tommorow ! or have you reached that stage already ??

What - 4.7m tempo run.
Last Rest Day - yesterday
Last hard session - Sunday.

Gareth - Once in motion I'm actually OK, but making the transition from sitting to standing is certainly an excercise in physical engineering!

When : In a minute

Why : Conditions are perfect,cool day no wind and I feel fresh.

yesterday in stead of my steady 5 I actually did 6M including 8 short hill repeats - felt great going fast uphill but boy did it hurt!

V-rap, I'm agog with curiosity. Did you really manage to get yourself "on call" the night after GNR? Or was at a non-standard emergency one off.

What: 5 miles as slowly as possible, with three breaks. Very enjoyable.

Why: studying slow again to get a pace that can be maintained throughout a half, walking breaks at every mile marker.

*Mus* not get over tired again before the race. Seem to have lost a bit of left foot and balance after the last do.

Just got back and am knackered!

Started off reps too fast(as usual) and ended up stopping on last one.

Actually think I ran 5x1000m due to the fact that I was weaving in and out of horse s*$t most of the way.

Nothing so public-spirited, Marj. I don't do on-call at night any more, but had a writing job with a deadline of 9am yesterday. It's the sort of thing that can't be done more than a couple of days in advance, and I was too wound up and busy to do it on Friday or Saturday, but assumed I'd be home from the north east by 7pm on Sunday. arrived at about 12.30am instead. And I wasn't doing to do a no-show with my copy!

Gggnnnuuurrrgghhh

What: I think I'm about to do my second ever speed session

Why : Got to some day and I don't fancy the 6 miler I was planning. Read DannyM's speed description and I thought "I can do that".

So I've got a little 2 miles circuit and I'm going to fartlek and see if I can get round twice. Fartlek always makes me feel sick so I don't do it but if I'm never more than 1 mile from home?...

Wish me luck, I'll go and get changed and catch you later

Went to the gym to do 6*800 at 5km pace but the place was overrun with the 'blue rinse' brigade commandeering the treadmills while bursting along at 3mph.So instead I jogged to a nearby hill and,
What : 12 * 200m (appx) hill reps in around 45sec, slow jog recovs
Why : if I can't do intervals, I guess hills are the best substitute...
Last easy : yesterday (4mile recovery)
Last rest : Friday

Jogged back to the gym and did some easy gym work.Nice session , am I getting used to hills ?

08/10/2002 at 11:28

What: Short interval sesh. Mile warm up then 8 (or 10 if I feel ok) 3.15 reps with 1.30 recoveries and mile cooldown.
why: Keep up the quality sessions during my marathon taper.

At least the rain has stopped. Nice to see all those who ran at the weekend still out there, what are your next target races?

WIll run 1/2 M in 3 weeks (Barns Green) - hoping for flatter course and hence faster pace than w/end's 10 mile!
