LSR planned for tomorrow morning - as it stands I've 1478km run so far this year, so I've 22km to round it out to 1500km. Hopefully I'll manage that before NYE.Made me check my own Dilbert, have just over 8km myself left to hit 1,500km for year. Should manage that no more than yourself.
Well done you two, My inactivity over recent weeks mean I've blown my chance of hitting 1500 km this year...I'll run my 900th mile later today though, so not too shabby

Not trying to make you both feel worse but I'm just back from 19.14km in 1:39:19 and am delighted I did it.
Had my brother for company - he's home from London for Christmas and just starting his next training plan for the Richmond marathon, so it was his first step back into running after a few weeks of a break. Was again nice not to be running alone.
Only 3k or thereabouts left for the 1500 total - dog could be getting more than she's bargaining on when we go for her walk tomorrow!0 -

Lying in bed with the mother and father of all hangovers
I'm supposed to be running the duncannon 8k in 2.5 hours and right now I can't put one foot in front of the other! Running is really getting in the way of my alcoholism
This place, combined with a nagging other half, is a great motivator!! We made the start line with about 5 mins to spare. A pre race puke meant that I wasn't going to be racing so I did the 8k With herself at a lovely 10min/mile pace, hangover now gone and everton now 1 up v Chelsea 0 -

Greetings all from snowy Canada!
So as it turns out, packing up your life to go travelling and celebrating Christmas are not conducive to a good running week.. (who'd have guessed it..) so only got a measly 3 miles in on Xmas eve. Made it to final destination after over 40 hrs travelling but seem to have picked up a bit of a cold and sore throat along the way:( Gonna do the sensible thing and rest for a few days so that's all my running over for 2012!
Made the 1,500km mark last wk which was delighted with. Congrats to those hitting their targets for yr (docjewel, how on earth did you have a life while hitting 2,000 miles ) and best of luck to those closing off targets on 31st!
Oh, and packed the boards t-shirt so once got over this cold It'll be out there making its Canadian debut:)0 -
Sorry I am a bit late with this today. I almost forgot today was a Sunday
Anyways the plan this week is:
|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thur|Fri|Sat|Sun|
|5 mile easy|rest/cross|session*|3 miles recovery|5m easy |rest/cross|LSR (10-13 miles)
Session:
5 milers: 1 miles easy warm up followed by 1 x 2 miles @ goal pace (5 minute recoveries) and 3 x 1 mile @ Goal pace (3 minute recoveries) 1 mile easy cool-down
10kers 1 mile easy warm up followed by 2 x 2 mile (5 minute recoveries) and then 2 x 1 mile (3-4 minute recoveries) all at goal pace. 1 mile cool-down.
10 Milers: 1 mile easy warmup followed by 2 x 3 mile (5 minute recovery jog) and 1 x 2 mile (3-4 minute recovery jog) 1 mile easy cool down.
Now I know a lot of people are racing the 5k on Tuesday so I suggest they do the 3 mile recovery on Wednesday instead of Thursday. It is perfectly fine for anyone racing to just forget about the session this week as a race will be tougher on the body than any training, however if they really want to they can do the session instead of the weekend LSR (it is likely to be over 10 miles anyway) but only if you are feeling totally recovered from the race and not suffering any niggles.
Best of luck!!
P.S. maybe see a good few of you on Tuesday??? We can all go for a nice cool-down jog after the race if there's any interest?0 -
Just back from 7 mile session, the first workout on the P&D 55m 18 week plan. 7.30am start to avoid the strong Aussie sun but still quite hot out there Thought I'd get it out of the way early as I'll be bringing the new year in with lots of bubbly stuff in a fancy glass and probably won't want to be running for a day or 2 after
So I have eventually logged over 500 miles on our wee spreadsheet - that's from June and many missed weeks through injury. I'm game for the 1000 mile challenge for 2013 so I'm off now to register for that before the New Year celebrations begin. Happy New Year everyone 0 -
docjewel, how on earth did you have a life while hitting 2,000 miles
The way things are looking for next year I will be hard pushed to come anywhere close to that but am gonna try & concentrate on quality rather than quantity
Taking a leaf out of career_moves's log I have pulled out the Wii with the intention of doing a session of EAactive2 on the days I can't run.Did 2 sessions over the last 2 days & all was going well enough until I had to some reverse ab crunches,oh boy were they tough:or0 -
