Track sesh last night was a bit of a disaster!
Legs felt heavy and tired and generally lousy!
Chest felt tight as well
First time I've felt like that in ages.
8 x800m about 3 mins a rep!
Am trying to decide if it was the Mr Muscle oven cleaner I was using (strangely for me) to clean the oven before I went out. That stuff is pretty toxic.
Anyway don't have to worry about that for another 6 months or so now thou......
Should be out in the hills tonight assuming my head torch turns up...

I also do not live near a track. My speed sessions are based on time rather than distance. Ie 12x 3mins, off 90 sec etc. I find this a far better way than guestimating distances. It works for me. Hope this helps...Originally Posted by theNoor
Hmm...
Not sure that would work for me - I like to run hill or speed efforts at equal or ascending pace through a session.
i.e. I would run a marked distance in a certain time at a good, brisk pace; then attempt 10 or 12 repeats of the same distance at the same, or a quicker pace.
The trouble with measuring time and not distance is you cannot guarantee that you are maintaining the same pace throughout a session.
Another piece of info. I found useful was that you should generally not finish a speed session feeling exhausted but fairly fresh and ready for the next session.
Having said all the above, there are others on here far better equipped to comment than me...
Where have all the quick boys got to? Roadrunner, Bisto, Oxo Cube etc.

Oh so the typical speed sesh for me where I collapse on the floor at the end isn't the ideal......
bummer!
This bloody lower back and groin injury might keep me away from my running, but from previous experience i know i can maintain a decent level of cardiovascular fitness by swimming freestyle.
B*llocks to it I will not be beaten.
Today i knocked out a mile of freestyle at Heywood pool in 45 minutes which is bloody good going for me.
7 miles last nite + 10 x long hill reps
just done 10miles, wet down here, very wet
24 mins running.
Swam 5 x (100m b/stroke, 100 crawl) in 35 mins.
Swimmers do not appear to have the same respect for each other that runners do.
In what respect fellhell?24 mins running.

An hour on the turbo
7 x 4 minutes with each minute in a higher gear than previous
2 mins recovery then another 4 mins on next level of resistance
Well I go in the slow line, naturallyIn what respect fellhell?.
There one woman who is going twice the speed of everyone else and clearly should be in a different lane, keeps splashing past me.
One guy went between myself and the lane cord to overtake me when there was about an inch to spare, forcing me to stop, when he could have just gone the other side of me.
One person got into the pool just as i was turning and proceeded walk right across my path
One girl going slower than me kept turning about 10m from the end across me as I went to overtake.
One person just swam up and the middle.
But other than that, fine.
