To anyone looking in my training thus far might seem quite erratic, and they'd be dead right but I'm on a learning curve and so on the advice of another person far more knowledgeable than I (ecoli), this is how tonight went.

1.75 mile warm up @ 8:45 min miles
400m x 10 repeats @ 7 min mile pace and 60 sec recovery, to raise my lactate threshold. next week I'll do a session of speed repeats to boost my stroke volume/VO2 max (see I is learnin) the following week will be paced hill repeats to improve on running form and economy etc etc:D

1.75 mile cool down @ 8:15 min miles (not much of a cool down:rolleyes:) followed by a few mins showing off all my new found information:P on boards.

Thanks for the explanation! Smart A*s

Mr Slow

Met up with Chinguetti, Rk, Meno, Claralara and a few others for 10 miles today, averaged abot 9:40 pace with the exception of the last half mile where I stupidly asked the human duracell bunny(meno) if we could pick up the pace for the home stretch and after running 13 x 7 min miles yesterday, that's what he took off at and even though I kept with him for a while, I was done by the time we came close to the car park, he ran the long way in, looking as fresh as a daisy,

It's enough to make you puke:P

The man is running 400 miles per week and is supplementing his porridge with Human Growth Hormone! (This statement is not factual and is nothing but hearsay supplied by his twin chinguetti)

I've just found out the Raheny 5 mile is out, going for a medical procedure on the 31st requiring preparation on the Sunday:eek:

Thanks Ray, my hope is following the exam, I'll get my social life back;)

Mr Slow

I just signed up for the Cupid's Dash 10k!

Mr Slow

Ran 1.5 mile warm up and cool down (too fast for both) with 3 miles at 7:45 (I don't think this is my tempo pace, might run @ 8 min miles next time)

6 miles in 49:15!

What's the problem? Just tell then you'll be in by 5pm. You can't let little things like your health get in the way of your running. Get a grip man! :P

Mr Slow

We're back on, procedure has been moved to Wednesday 2nd so I'm good to go!

2 Mile warm up and cool down with 8 x 800m repeats, 60 - 90 sec recovery.

Total 8 miles. Great workout, came home with frost on my hat and a chilly (something that rhymes;))

Mr Slow

14.75 miles this morning with the group, Meno gave out to me about being late but it turns out much like himself, his watch is fast!

Really enjoyed the run and for the first time ever, I ran further than I had planned!

It was the company. And the sneaky caffeine loaded gel... :rolleyes:

Mr Slow

2 Mile warm up and cool down with 8 x 800m(1/2 mile) repeats @ sub 7 min miles and 60 sec recoveries. Total 8 miles.

I'm finding the last lap of these workouts easier than the earlier ones, it might be something to do with the body's realisation that it's almost done!

Where's the aule cow comment gone?! Did you get censored or did you hit by the conscience fairy?

I may have been a bit strong in my reaction, you have youth on your side after all.

Mr Slow

Planned Tempo run went out the window tonight, my legs felt heavy and tired and normally I'd press on but it just wasn't there.

2.6 miles in 21 mins:(

RayCun

An LSR, VO2 max session, and a tempo run within 5 days could be a bit much all right

Yep. Two tough runs a week is more than enough.

There were a few people asking about it, so a post on the group run forum may drum up a bit of interest. I am working on saturday myslef so I plan to do my long run tomorrow solo (oh the boredom :rolleyes:). I think a few people are ditching saturdays long run and racing raheny on sunday instead.
