That was Daddy's car i think or was it the run around?

I thought that was the B vehicle, left around for the use of Claralara and her siblings.

I don’t know where all this is coming from... I was extremely green this weekend. I even took the Dart yesterday!

BTW FYI the B vehicle is the chopper and was not suitable for attending at the park on Sunday. I, like you guys and your licences to run in the park, appear to have misplaced my landing licence. It was the hummer or no claralara – I think we all know the latter would have been a very upsetting alternative!

6.49 miles in 55:37

Managed to keep this relatively slow and mind numbingly boring, I'm at the stage in training where 5/6 miles is a task and 12/15 is enjoyable.

I did enjoy the strides though and allowed myself to push it on these averaging 5 min miles for each 100m stride.

Are you sure you don't mean the 'Dort'?

I headed out into the countryside again, 5.75 out and back for 11.5 taxing miles, felt happy for about two of them as my legs are just drained. I'm going to take two days rest to give myself a chance to get back to normal, maybe do some speed on Saturday prior to Sunday's 20 miler.

Not surprised horse that's way too fast.

Yes, all your future VO2 max sessions are to be done at a minimum of 6:30/mile pace. I want to hear reports of you puking after the third rep and still digging out another 3 reps afterwards :pac:

This describes my sentiments on doing intervals much better :pac:

Sorry, had reversed the minutes and seconds. I ran the first 5 or so miles @ 9 min+ but the legs were like lead and my hamstrings feel empty:(. I packed too much in to the end of last week so I'll kick back for a few days and let the legs recover.

Learnin how to talk proper was the number one priority in the local finishing school for young ladies... I'm sure if I hang around for long enough, they'll eventually admit me..

I'm afraid you don't meet the criteria!

Mr Slow

I've taken the advice of someone much more knowledgeable than I and after today's 'day off' I'm gonna run 4 miles ultra slow on Friday and Saturday, hopefully be back on form for Sunday!

I might steal that advice for myself too :cool:

Mr Slow

Brought my 5 and a half year old princess with me this evening, she's just had the stabilisers off her bike and promised to keep a good pace with me. Every half mile was a break for a drink and she was delighted to find the local school had scarecrows out, that someone on the other side of the road (that we had to meet) had the grown up version of our dog and that one of the roads we ran down was littered with blossoms. We had a stone in her shoe and a mileage update every .05 of a mile but it was one of the most enjoyable 'runs' I've had in a while.:D

Mr Slow

3 mile warm up at 9:15 followed by 1 mile @ 6:05, was on the brink of puking at the end of this but could have gone sub 6 if I hadn't raced out @ 5:40 for the first 400m. It was good to run flat out though.

Nice one and your spot on it's all about using the energy efficiently. The longer intervals are great for teaching the brain to pace properly. Myself and meno were doing 1k reps and for the first 2 we went out way too fast but were spot on for the rest. You'll probably surprise yourself with how far under 6 you'll go as your training has been very good and you should look into doing it with someone a little quicker than yourself and maybe on a track.

Thanks Woddle, timing doesn't work out for the group sessions, my other half is training to be a teacher and studying 24/7 so most of my runs are after the kids go to bed. Hopefully that'll change in the summer.

Mr Slow

Got to the park for 9 and ran 6.5 miles before being joined by the Vaggababe and Spaghetti, my calve seized up and dragged that blasted ligament across the knee. I put the stick to work and with some voodoo juice from Spaghetti we set off again. It took only a few hundred metres for it to loosen up again but was quite sore when I got home. I'll do some maintanence between now and taper and will get a sports massage then. That aside it was a comfortable run with no real flat spots, great weather and great company.

20:01 in 3:08:31 average pace 9:25

Mr Slow

Better start keeping track of my weeks:

Tuesday: 6.49 miles average pace 8:34
Wednesday: 11.5 miles average pace 8:38
Friday: 4 miles with princess, took a long time
Saturday: 3 miles @ 9:15, 1 mile @ 6:05
Sunday: 20:01 miles average pace 9:25

Total for week: 46 miles.
Total for year: 461.5 miles.

Took me a while to get up to pace to pass you going up the Kybher so the speed sessions are working if you ask me.

Thanks again for the stick - about to use it on the legs so if there's anyone in the Northside hears some screams - tis me

(How long before someone makes a funny comment:p)
