I'm going to run around a field later.:(
Usual slow distance stuff over the weekend, must concentrate on speed work and hill reps for the next week. :cool:
Out for a couple of runs with a few mates over the week-end - nothing too strenuous:D but I know someone who needs to improve on his road running - it was only 10 miles, how hard could that be?:eek:
About 9 miles along the sea front at Los Alcazares in Spain.
Temperature around 27 C at 10am. Pure blue sky.
Pity they have no real ale here.
Swoop thats me and thee out in the sunshine. Im over here in New Hampshire USA and yes the only downside here is also the lack of real ale. What is the matter with these people!!Quote:

I will soon be beating that- will be running in Dubai as of next week- BBC weather reports it to be 44 degrees on Sunday :eek:Quote:

Pav - lucky you - although it will be hot. I travelled out to the Middle East for five years and ran in some beautiful places. If you have time then rent a car and escape the heat and bluster of Dubai; head over to the East Coast and there are mountains (well, BIG hills) offering some very challenging terrain. You can also get in to the Musandem Peninsula (part of Oman) and run in some amazing scenery. I used to run from the sea up the hills then back to the sea and wade in for a cooling dip. Also good terrain around Hatta on the Oman border. Enjoy!
P.S Have you moved out there?Quote:

(And not on me good bike btw.)
Just over an hour in the rain (7.5 miles) - it was quite refreshing then (5.45-6.45ish) though a bit greasy on the grassier sections. Saw the Pudsey Beck heron again:)
Thanks Downsman.Quote:

Oh, did I mention I'm in Spain?:D
A bit of warm weather training in preparation for our trip to Borrowdale!
I just went for a run :)
I'll be at the gym this afternoon!
Knee dosen't appear to be getting any better! :mad:
Could not resist temptation. 10 minutes around the park. Felt bloody good. :D And no bad reaction as yet. Better rest now though. Don't want to overdo it.:)
five miles over to great hill, boot camp style training with OH kicking my ass all the way trying to make me go faster ;) :D
Hope you kicked him back!;)Quote:

Reasonably pleased with the result (6:26 pace) as the effort seemed to be well within my comfort zone.
I wonder if i should aim for a slightly higher average HR or stick with the plan? after all it's gonna be 13 miles more than today. TBH the hills around Windermere are gonna play havoc with any plan to run at a steady HR anyway but I need to get this sorted so I can run an autumn (flatter) marathon knowing exactly what to be aiming for.
Stop it! :D
