I wondered how long you'd be able to resist the riding innuendos
I've been trying avoid unecessary innuendos but I guess on this occasion my saddle slipped

Happy enough with this. I thought I was going to throw up after the 3rd so I thought the 4th one would be a bit slower than it is because I was still feeling a bit queasy. The only one I'm a bit disappointed with is the pace of the last one because I was trying really hard. I couldn't have run any faster though so I guess it's just because I was tiring

Sunday:
10m @ 9:00
Easy peasy and feeling good until about 7 miles in when my left hamstring started to feel a bit tight. Foam rolled it, stretched it, more foam rolling and then slept in compression tights but it was still a bit tight on Monday morning.
Monday:
3m @ 11:00
Slowed down this recovery run a bit more than usual and could really feel the benefit after 2 miles and it's absolutely perfect now. Happy days 0 -
8m @ 9:08
with 6 x 120m strides (all 25 secs)
I've started to do a lot more out and back runs. I like them because they go quicker. It's like you only have to do half the distance and then you're turning for home again I slowed the strides down a bit today because I was trying to get a feel for the pace for tomorrow's session (10 x 2min w 75 sec jog rec). Normally when I'm doing strides I concentrate on lifting my knees high and working my arms but today I was just focussing on my breathing and trying to run as relaxed as possible. They were still a bit fast but I have a good idea now for the session. 0 -

I like the out and back runs when I'm not in the mood for a run as you have two real defined points and when you turn around you have the back broken of the run!0 -

Delighted with this Was a bit worried about doing the first few reps too fast in case I died a slow and miserable death so took the first one handy. The first two were slightly uphill which helped to control the pace! I thought I might struggle through ten after them but once the road leveled out I found the rest of them challenging but manageable. For the second last one I was a bit too exuberant starting off (around 5:20 pace) and I paid for it in the last 30 sec because I couldn't hold the pace. The last one was good though 0 -

75 sec jogs.....short but sweetWhat recovery were you doing in between them?

Thanks. Training is great touch woodGreat session, you're training really well at the moment.
Anything big in particular coming up for you CM, marathon or shorter stuff? Or are you just going to keep training and then race in the summer? I'm doing the 5m in Raheny next then the HM in Meath in Mar. No marathon this year because I want to get faster first 0 -

I like MP runs because I can run them at whatever pace I feel like on the day Did the first mile in 7:30 so I said I'd aim for that. Had to forget about the watch for the next few miles because the roads were so slippy. It was a good exercise in form and balance. Passed a lady out walking her dog who told me I was mad 0 -

3m @ 10:30
I love recovery days Although they always end up being a bit mental because I stay in bed too long and then I run out of time. I have a sore tooth and I haven't been sleeping great the last couple of nights. Last night it was throbbing so tried paracetamol (useless)then ibuprofen (also useless) then cotton wool soaked in local anaesthetic. Was a bit cautious about using that because it has adrenaline in it but it just made my lips and gums numb and had no effect on my tooth. Was getting a bit desperate at this stage and decided I would have to resort to some whiskey. So I took a good sip and kind of held it for about 3 minutes on my tooth. Wasn't sure if it helped or not so took another good sip and then another. My gum was kind of numbish so I took another sip and then another and then I fell asleep
but only for a couple of hours ...... had to go to the dentist today and get it taken out

Looks like a good session to me so !
HahaI was thinking exactly the same thing. I feel crap on all my sessions! Maybe you were just hungover from all that whiskey Sunday night CM:D
It should have felt easier because it's an easy route but it's ok I'll be better in Raheny 0 -

I got a tooth removed on Monday and it's still wickedly sore so I think the socket may be infected Going to try an intensive course of salt rinses tonight and if that doesn't work I'll have to get antibiotics tomorrow :( 0 -

Monday:
3m @ 10:30
I toyed with the idea of abstaining from chocolate this week. So I lasted the whole day and then I decided ah my body might go into shock. No point taking unnecessary risks
Tuesday:
7m @ 9:18
with 6 x 120m strides (24,23,23,22,22,22)
Legs were a teeny bit tired today. Didn't sleep very well last night but my tooth is almost better. Today is the first day I haven't taken painkillers. I met a man out walking when I was doing the strides. He lives about a mile down the road but I'd never seen him before. He was telling me he's on dialysis and he walks 4m everyday in order to keep his BMI low enough so that if he gets a match he'll be able to have a kidney transplant.0 -

Only had time/distance showing on my garmin so I wasn't too sure how successful this session was. My legs felt strong all the time but on the 2min rep even though I was conscious of not starting too fast my breathing was very labored after about a minute and I thought the pace dropped significantly. It took a fair bit of will power to actually keep going. I thought I recovered well after all the splits though and I felt strong even after the 2 min rep. When I saw the splits on garmin connect I was one happy happy lady:D
