Fri 27/07 - Rest day.
Sat 28/07 - Headed off at 8.30 for LSR. The hills were brutal, but the company really helped get me though it. 15.04 miles avg 9.00 pace.
Sun 29/07 - A very guilty rest day, as I was fit for nothing
Never having a late night again (well at least not when training for a marathon).
Mon 30/07 - Legs felt heavy for the first while, showing that I really need a recovery run yesterday. 6.30 miles avg 8.41 pace.0 -
Tues 31/07 - The "last day" of summer, lived up to the past 3 months. Wet and windy. 5.15 miles avg 8.44 pace.
Need to get my LSR done this evening - 17 miles in this weather isn't filling me with enthusiasm. Roll on Fri, and some warm-weather training

On hols from 03/08 - 10/08. Gorgeous resort, except for the hill down to it. Tackled it twice at 6.30am before it got too hot, as temp were 38-42 degrees. Gave up after the second run, and packed away the runners, and did a lot of swimming, in an attempt to salvage something
Sat 04/08 - 1 x 4.20 miles.
Tues 07/08 - 1 x 3.10 miles.
Sat 11/08 - LSR. Absolutely dreaded this, after a week of enjoying all the good things in life, I was not in great shape to be tackling a LSR. Headed off with the plan on taking it mile by mile. First 3 miles, I sweated buckets! But by mile 7 I was beginning to feel somewhat better. I was glad of my water belt, but could have done with getting more into me. Last 1/2 mile was awful, but I was delighted to get the session done.
19 miles avg 9.07 pace.
Sun 12/08 - Recovery run. 4 miles, that were tougher than expected!0 -

Tues 14/08 - Tempo run. Never really felt comfortable during this, and only for the company I'd have more than likely cut it short. Legs just felt dead 6.15 miles avg 8.38 pace.
Wed 15/08 - Rest day. Glad of it with the wind that was blowing.
Thurs 16/08 - Progression run. 6.05 miles avg 8.46 pace. More enjoyable than Tues run.
Fri 16/08 - Rest day.
Sat 17/08 - LSR. An early start for this group run. I felt the pace was a bit too quick for me for the first few miles, and I was worried about being left behind in the middle of nowhere. By halfway I was feeling it, and the miles seemed to take forever to pass. Found the route very tough, the hills killed me
and the last 3 miles were very slow. 20 miles avg 9.22 pace.
Sun 18/08 - A short recovery run along the back strand. Ankle a bit sore, so I'll have to keep an eye on that. 4.10 miles avg 9.16 pace.0 -
Mon 20/08 - Ankle niggley so I ditched the track session in favour of the beach. The soft sand let me know the niggle hadn't gone away. 6.15 miles avg 9.15 pace.
Tues 21/08 - Ankle felt ok all day in work, but once I put on the asics that evening I felt it immediately. Decided to try the old mizunos to see if they made a difference. For the first couple of miles I could feel a bit of discomfort, but it passed by mile 3. Progression run of 5.70 miles avg 8.22 pace.
Wed 22/08 - A handy costal run, in the mizunos again. No discomfort, so happy out
5.15 miles avg 8.52 pace.
Looks like I'll be ditching the Asics for good. Now to convince husband that he needs to pay for I need my forth pair of runners since the start of the year 0 -

Mon 27/08 - Track session. 10x400's with 60 sec recovery, 2x800's with 120 sec recovery. Brutal. Legs were wrecked after it. 5 miles covered with warm/up cool down.
Tues 28/08 - Had trouble getting up and down the stairs, as my legs were in ribbons after the track session No running done.
Wed 29/08 - Right leg still a bit tender, so put on the quad guard for this run. Legs loosed out after a couple of miles and I really enjoyed being out. 6.40 miles avg 8.40 pace.0 -

have you moved;), you have your evening run done already for the day!!!
That was Thursday's run. Have you not got that Friday feeling yet Younganne?! Go get yourself a crunchie!
Great steady and consistent training there recently Ruby - just watch those niggles. Take the rest/reduced distance/etc as and when you feel like you need it. Hopefully the switch in runners will keep you injury free now.0 -

Wed 05/09 - sick.
Thurs 06/09 - sick.
Fri 07/09 - A tester, to gauge how many miles I should aim for Saturdays LSR. Not the most pleasant of runs, sweated mad, but was happy to be out moving. 5.15 miles avg 8.50 pace.
Sat 08/09 - The group were doing 20, but I still wasn't 100% and knew I'd never keep up with them, so I headed out alone with my ipod, with a plan of just staying on my feet for as long as I could. Never felt comfortable at all. Called it a day at 17.05 miles. Avg pace 9.08 pace, which doesn't include the 3 stops along the main road, trying to compose myself
I won't bother with the half next weekend, will stick to a LSR instead.0 -

Yeah, I'm disappointed alright, I was looking forward to some retail therapy running in the park. Ah well, looks like I will just have to wait til the end of Octoberbanner_phoenix wrote: »Ah shame you won't make it up for the half but take it handy if you are not feeling 100%.banner_phoenix wrote: »I guess I'll have to make that trip to Waterford after all then to catch up
