Thoroughly enjoyable week, 61.5m 11745ft

Hoping to cram a few extra miles into next week, then follow that up with a crazed beer and crisps frenzy. With Toblerones and Chocolate Oranges for good measure.

7am - 4k run. 3 x small loops with a hill sprint and 20 burpees. 6 x 200m sprints. A pyramid workout comprising of 5, 10, 15, 10, 5 x burpees, pressups, burpees with a pressup, burpees with a tuck jump, situps and leg thrusts. 3 x 100m sprints downhill and carrying partner on back 100m uphill. Finished off with 6 hill sprints.

Weather was surprisingly gorgeous! Feeling a little tired now!

20.04 miles... just as the storm hit NE Germany, pretty horrific.. luckily got to one spot as the firebrigade were clearing power lines which had come down.. ran another 12 miles and they were just finishing clearing a tree that had come down.. don't think they were too impressed to see me out... slow though 7:40 pace.. but wasn't pushing it at all.

400m at 10 min mile so 2.5 minutes or so... I only use the treadmill for sessions really.. the time passes quite quickly and I do think it helps you improve turnover but add at least 0.5-1%..

Not sure.. I have the JFK50 miler in the states so will see but been struggling with injuries for the past month so may have a total break after that and then target London... sort of depends how I feel after it.

thanks for info lain
with the air miles you tally up do you not suffer with jet lag in your races
i have been thinking about doing longhaul distance runs but then jumping off a plane into a race you,ve got to be fatigue it does,nt matter who you are
i dont run at your pace but if you run 7min mile normally are you saying run at 6.30 pace on treadmill

Sorry I meant 0.5-1% incline.. then its a similar effort.

Re jet lag I find it huge, maybe 1 week to get over it. In two weeks I have philly half marathon the day after a transatlantic flight, I'll be way off my pace.. 2-3 minutes. My guts take a week to get over the plane food.. plus fatigue.. germs...
