6.2 miles - mostly road plus a good 'crispy leaf' section:D near Kirkstall Abbey. Blowing a gale as I went back up Pollard Lane hill from Newlay Bridge.
Warm up, 10 miles at marathon pace, warm down. 1.25 in total.
Aye, let me know the refs when you've done the deed. Long run planned for Friday afternoon in the area....Quote:

Track last night - not a great session, old injuries flaring up :( although the mileage increase this week is accountable so it's my own daft fault....
running at lunch time though - good old bruphen :D
Also Track for me last night:DQuote:

8 miles hilly roads . first 30 mile week for 15 months .
Yesterday:
Bit of strength work in the morning, still can't see a 6 pack?:confused:
Took one of the cross country team lads for a run in the afternoon. He's 17, slim and fit; everything I'm not. I said we should do a steadt run as I was tired (good excuse in there striaght way!). Took him for 6 or 7 miles with a 1000" of climb. He bounced up and I chugged up. Just over an hour!:)
Today: Dropped my car off for some work in town and ran back, a few hills and put some strides in. 35 mins. Down the gym tonight for some weights.:)
i keep seeing this term - what are strides?? how do you stride??
5 miles yesterday
6 miles (well nearly) today
perhaps prison is doing me some good afterall! :D
BBC club tonight for chicken and chips :rolleyes:
No running tomorrow..... probably....
Perhaps not then
Strides are running fast for abot 20 to 30 secs. The idea, I think, is that you stimulate your muscles into a good efficient fast motion but because you don't run fast for enough time to build up any lactic you don't get the stiffness or tiredness. Good on an easy or steady run to get some "easy" speed work done. I'm told that if you do them at the end of a long run it can make some of your fast twitch muscles also work as slow twitch; FOG fibres or something. Obviously if you want a definative answer you would need to talk to someone considerably brighter than I.Quote:

A fast (for me) 6.5 and a bit mile run at lunchtime. The golf course part of the run was slightly hilly :rolleyes:.
Bet you flew back down through the woods; much better than strides :)Quote:

5 mile local for me. hamstring ok. happy now.
3hours on the hills this afternoon, last hour in the dark (with head torch of course). Based around Holme Moss, Black Hill and Crowden. Lucky enough to take an afternoon off work! :p Freezing out, mind you.
'Spinning' session in gym for first time. Good fun: 30 mins total, averaged 150 bpm and upto 178 on 'climbs'. It went so quickly and I felt good afterwards.
1st training session completed for 7 weeks ;)
Well done!:) Glad to have you back!:DQuote:

He says that i have to stretch much more than i used to and have to build my mileage slowly. This is good news because i weighed in this morning at ...............16 stone 2lbs!!!!!!!!!:(:(
6 weeks of very little running have taken their toll me thinks.
Im not coming out in public until ive got my weight down!:rolleyes:
2hrs 30 on the Downs with 400m ascent. Out from Burpham onto the Springhead ridge, down Amberley Mount than back through the valley to Burpham. Beautiful day down here - cool with clear blue skies and sunshine. You Northern hard men don't know what you're missing!
