Today's Training

I ran with Skipton AC last night for maybe the first time in a year - jesus there's loads of them now with three different route choices with early bird small jogging routes for newbies. There could have been 40 or 50 runners all told...... and all of them (apart from me) seemed to be decked out in hi viz yellow :rolleyes:

A fantastic run though with me effectively ending up doing a 7.5 mile full on race against one of the other guys... he led for a couple of miles, I left him for dead for 4 after that but then he bloody well caught me a mile from the end and finished comfortably ahead :mad:

My first road run in maybe 6 months!

nice fast 6.1 miler yesterday morning, then 3 miles last night. Having a break today, then a good un tomorrow a.m

1 Hour over and round Hambeldon. Very rough and muddy in the main. Came across around 30 horses and riders over the moor, never seen that many out over there. Kepy my distance though, funny things horses. The few extra degrees makes a big difference to the terrain and clothing required. back to shorts and short sleeve base layer now.

I know. I've just been out all layered up; out of habit from the last couple of weeks, and within the first mile I'd stripped down to me base layers. :eek:

Just shy of 5mi round the roads at home. Quite hilly. Feeling a bit of gyp from me knee coming downhill. As a result cut my session at the playpark to just the pull ups: 6/6/6/7. Didn't want to add to my knee's grief by doing a load of burpees.:(

At last, first proper run in three and a half weeks, this lurgy seems to be giving up and antibiotics seem to have done the trick.....1:09:57hr up over Wimberry to Alphin, nice and steady, keeping HR below 70Max HRR (HR kept creeping up there though!!!!)...felt good and ease my way back into it so as not to give the lurgy the chance to regroup :) Snow gone now Wimberry way...

Monday, no training,
Tuesday, walked 4 miles,
Wednesday, walked 5 miles, and 36 mins on treadmill at Pilgrim's uni gym
(NOT GOING TO FORGIVE Pilgrim!!! for letting me go home with the REDDEST FACE i looked like i had been on the sunbed!!!) I liked that cardio workout on the treadmill.
Thursday, no training (Have weight watchers tomorrow)
Friday, 4 mile walk, and 2 mile run/walk.

Its hardwork, and right now i am sooo much pain, haven't been able to take my trainers off yet.

I admire you lot, i wish i could be at the stage where i could go and do a 18 mile run!
