Notice how my pace is under 10min/mile when i am on my own.... i talk way too much on LSR's

You talking too much, nah couldn't be! Wherever did you come up with some theory like that :P. Sounds like you need to do that "silent challenge" on the next long group run. Betcha you can't

Rsst day running wise 70 min hot yoga.
Thought while i was online i may aswell log this. I have to say i am finding this yoga great for stretching. Its a 70min stretch class. A good bit of upper body work too and i have discovered i have zero upper body strength :rolleyes:. So hopefully i will have nice toned arms in no time

Younganne

nothing as nice as a good stretch!!! and think of all the benefits....you're going great at the running at the min...you doing Raheny in 2 weeks??? any time target?? I'm not sure yet if i'm doing it??

RubyK

Oh, you have me feeling guilty now, I was supposed to restart pilates yesterday You are great for keeping up the classes, and as for the hot yoga, WOW :eek:

Training is going really well, you are putting in consistent work! Great stuff.

You might just surprise yourself on the day - 40-42

Younganne

you can do a 5m training run in 48 so definitely aiming for 45 is "chicken"":D

i agree with RK....aim for faster....my dream would be 40 - 42 but if i can get cack into training next week and all goes ok...i would love 43!!!! iBut even if its 50 it would be a PB as its my first 5m...sounds like i've decide to do it anyway!!:eek:

Get outta here with that time...if I'm being bullied persuaded to give it a good lash then so are you

Hill reps. 5 miles in 46:38 avg pace 9:19

Into the park with shaz for hill reps this morning. 1mile w/up and about the same cool down up the kyber. i enjoyed these much more this week. Mucked up my laps on my watch somehow. So i think it was 1x400 5X300 and 2X200. The 300m cone was definitely further up than last week, alot closer to the 400 :rolleyes: Much happier with my average pace too.:)

shazkea

Good session this morning, well done

jcsmum

Well done to you both

Monday 16th January
5.2miles in 49:24 avg pace 9:30
Fartlek: 1 mile easy, 6x3 min @ 5 mile pace, 2 min off recovery, 1 mile easy
Things on this weekend so have to do my LSR on Wednesday so decided to get this one out of the way today. pace for the 6x3mins came in at 8:05 8:21 7:51 8:27 7:57 and 8:32. Not sure what my 5mile pace is to be honest so i decided as long as it was 8.30-9min/mile i would be happy. Enjoyed this session. taking a rest day tomorrow.

Younganne

great running...i find it hard to stick to the one pace...your are flying at the minute with great mileage under your belt

must try work out my 5m pace...prob aim for 8.30/8.45

Well done Nules great running. Running anything over 7/8 miles gets very boring when you are on your own.
