Your not old or fat, just maturing and stoutOriginally Posted by Stagger
Cheers ML, Birthday weekend over. Last can has gone down.
Now it's on to 30mile/week and increasing the climb to 200'/mile leading up to Annie run in mid April.
Need to drop 10 to 12lb.
More down hill running sessions when the light nights arrive.
On Wards and Upwards for this old boy
An easy week last week seemed to help in that I took 4.5 minutes off my Carnethy time (down to 74.5), so I should be pleased, but I felt awful and if every run felt like that I would give up, heavy legs, no energy, wanted to sit and cry on the last descent. So much for easy weeks! I don't know how to think about it, good time, horrid run?
Had a steady 11 with my partner on local trails yesterday to recover so a bit happier. See how this week goes.
Jason.
17.96 miles on road bike at 15mph average. Hilly route and remember only averaging 13mph last year on same route. Felt strong, didn't push it, so i reckon all that singlespeeding has increased me strengh, forgot how to change gear thoughAnother cracking day, if a bit chilly, hardly any wind, saw a lone runner plodding over Marsden moor, opposite Buckstones
5 Mile, 4 at tempo pace, nice day for running and long may this weather continue !!
Track session tonight, hopefully do 10 x 400's, 1 min recovery.
Also logged my Millionth foot of ascent since I started logging distances ran and ascent climbed back in January 2006.
30 minutes easy before work, after 12 months of cross training it feels really good to be running again
8 miles round trip to the gym this morning, 20 lengths in the pool.
40 minutes of sweaty turbo fun
Track session, did 800 m sets of 350m effort, 200 recovery, 150 effort, 150 recovery, repeat 7 times.
With warm up, stretching then running motion drills, and cool down, ended up being 6.57 miles of running in total.
First serious track session since broke my arm and I felt OK and ran in my usual position in the group so don't think I've lost too much fitness.
11 x 1 mile reps with 1 min Recovery @ 7.10 pace
