1 mile (54 lengths) of Rochdale pool in the adult lane swim session (27 freestyle and 27 breast-stroke) quite enjoyed it.
4 mile walk with AJ
holding hands as well
20 shouting kids at a youth group I help out at, animal masks and a story of noahs ark; now enjoying 4 tins of stella....todays training....
Still out with my stress fracture, so spent the evening timing for everyone elso on a track session, looked hard work though so I'm almost glad I wasn't doing it
Gym and jaccuzzi last night!
I wonder if I spent more time in the gym and less in the jaccuzzi I might get stronger????
Oh well I'll never know!
Track sesh tonight, running round in circles being timed...woohooo...just like a day in the office then!
My 13mile loop. Took me 1hr 25min 35 secs!!! This was my slowest time and I'm not happy. To be fair conditions were bad, not appalling but certainly bad, with a cold wind and rain turning the grassy half mile section into an ice rink.
I was hoping increased fitness to show through and get me a faster time than this. Perhaps my heavy duty training in Lanzarote is still in my legs and any benefits are not yet reflected in training performances? Perhaps I am getting too hung up on timings ( although I only time intervals, 20+milers and this midweek 'long run') My theory was that i need to time this run in particular so I know If my aim for a 2:35:?? marathon is realistic. I would cetainly appreciate some feedback from the elite chaps who are on the Forum.
I may put up a post later on with some specific questions and see what comes back. Teatime now.
Back to the mile strides tonight with 2 min recovery in between. Times are getting quicker ranging from 6.20 to 5.59. No chance of keeping up with the whippets in the front group but happy with my steady progress.
Speed training tonight with my coaching group
Could someone just give me a bit of guidance r.e. doing my own speed session.
Where i live there is no track, and very little flat, straight road. But I have found a quiet lane and was planning to try the following.
Distances would be approximate but I was planning to mark it out at 100m intervals...
After each sprint, if thats the word, or fast run, I would do 200m recovery. The same recovery each time.
2 x 200m
2 x 300m
2 x 400m
1 x 300m
1 x 200m
This gives 3900m in total, including recovery 200s.
Am I doing the right thing? Thanks for any advice.
