No running for me for a day or two? I can hardly move due to a bad back. Goodness know what the hell I have done as I was fine yesterday. By eck its sore i can't drive the ruddy car due to it as its so painful just what I need a week before the Snowdon race.
Hope the back is better for Snowdon Pinno, rested up myself yesterday, after a slight twist to the knee on Thursday nights run......should be ok for Snowdon though....Quote:

Pinno; are you anti inflams at all? I had a series of muscular spasms a few months ago which nearly wrecked me but with diclofenac, I was grand
Just a thought

Never better mate, best wishes to the Pinno clan;)Quote:

Ive always found swimming a perfect way to ease sore joints/muscles etc.Quote:

Had a good week including mountain-biking, a 3hour walk on Kinder, fell race and a mile race plus warm up/down. Chilling today; fish and chips for tea and by my reckoning its now beer o'clock! :cool::D
Feeling very tired today after a tough week last week. No running to report; just a bit of gentle stretching plus a few minutes standing on wobble-board on one leg :cool:
I should have joined you DT...:( Had to cut short (road :eek: :o) circuit round Barlick after niggling ache made it's presence more un-ignorable (sic...? hey, online scrabble here I come!)Quote:

Blimey. I'd forgotten about this thread. Got carried away on other ones!
I've got more to add to this one than today's training nowadays.
I must say I am surprised how well my running is going given that I'm having at least two days off after every session. I'm never running tired which feels good mind you.
Don't underestimate the power of rest. As long you run your little socks off every time you get chance to get out, it isn't that bad for you. :)
I'd remembered it HHH but had forgotten you started it :)
I agree with HHH, i believe in rest, rest, rest...but run like a idiot when you do.:D
thats a stupid approach...and no offence to Mr Dunn a runner of talent i could only wish to have.Quote:

Strongly agree HHH. I am training 3 times a week, or even 2 when racing , and improving steadily each week. I never feel tired or sluggish and am always looking forward to doing the hardest of sessions, rather than feeling as if they are a chore. All the signs are good :cool:Quote:

Quality Turbo Tom, not steady!
I couldnt have put it better myself!Quote:

For me though im trying to build up to a steady mileage then incorporate my harder sessions in order to peak for the right eventsQuote:

This is an interesting debate. I am attempting to train consistently this year and improve my stamina and speed but rest days are an important part of that. From the limited experience that I've had, I not only run faster but also enjoy myself more when I include rest days. Last year I had a few weeks where I trained and did three races a week (road, cross country and fell) and I was knackered and suffered in other areas of my life with poor concentration and lack of creativity. Like HHH and some of the others say...it is about striking the balance between the rest of my life and running. I like to cycle too so I often do that on a non-running day.
However, I am not looking for an international vest just to be the best I can be and enjoy it. Good luck TurboTom, you've obviously got determination, just be careful not to burn out or injure yourself and don't think it is the end of the world if you miss one session.
I mean its not that I pan every day...dont get me wrong folks. But unless i am injured i find either core work or a easy 3/4 mile run tides me over and does still provide my body with the rest needed.Quote:

If you want to be a decent runner id say theres no avoiding the miles though! do you mean three actual session a week e.g. speedwork, hill reps etc.... and then what you call 'rest' is steady running inbetween? The attitude that 'less is more' is thought by many to be the reason we've got such a weak generation now compared to the 80's. Yes speed/quality is important but getting steady miles inbetween is equally vital. Just have a look what sort of mileage the vast majority of top runners are doing! obviously though the key with youngsters is building it gradually, and this way you should be able to handle 100+ miles a week when older.
Obviously this is if your body can handle and lifestyle etc....
100miles per week on the fells steadyeddy?
More rest for me tonight :p:cool:
I think the problem is you can't do 40 races a year and 100 miles a week.
In cycling the long steady miles are done in the winter,off season,to gain a base. Then during the race season,the miles are reduced and efforts are brought in to replace the long miles. Shorter but harder sessions. It's all relative mind. There periods of lower mileage are still alot more than most peoples idea of "low".
yes. i do generally 2 hard, one easy . Just doing 5 or 6 miles at a steady pace completes my day and then loosens up the muscles for the next day.Quote:
