Today's Training

[emmilou]

well done on getting round..

6 miles yesrterday, i ain't supposed to go up hills at the moment, just couldn't resist fininshed in 43minutes. nice jog!

Thanks Pengy!!

Did my recovery run in the morning but by late evening I was seizing up and as I already had my trainers on took Dave for another 'run' only short - 2 miles but 6 in total for the day (did a bit of sprinting too )

Hour in the gym this morning mainly stabilisation work - pooly ligament feeling it but the stabilisation is helping, then did 20 minutes of stretching - feeling much better now!

Off for a run this evening - have a window of opportunity for an hour out whilst no.1 son is at cubs

Take it easy Emma. Be careful with the ligament. I'm knackered after two races but injury free.
I'm convinced the hydrotherapy pool and foot baths at Total Fitness are a great help.
Probably take a day off today. It's raining anyway!

Aye, day off for me as well today Swoop.

13ish miles and 5500ft yesterday in about 2.45 over the Mynd.

Today? Knees sore, no muscle soreness though. Mind you, not much energy either....got tired halfway up the stairs

Think I'll go and get myself a doughnut

Yes but were they the right stairs? My new avatar is the lead up to the lapse in concentration!

[Calf]

think I might have a day off today after FLM.

Just trying to find another mara to do so I can forget all about london!

Luckily they were the right stairs! And they seem to be getting easier as the day goes on

Your new avatar is also around about where I saw you coming in on the Honister path and thought "how did he get there when he was behind me when we set off up the climb to Robinson and I never saw him go past?!?"

I might have got ahead on the climb up Robinson. I was on my own for a long time on "Chris's route" but, having seen the photos of the procession on the traditional route, I'm glad I did it. If I'd stuck to my guns and gone at least another 150m in the "wrong" direction (towards Honister) coming off Dale Head I reckon I would have saved another minute or two! I'll keep that for next year.

Not sure if I am allowed to butt in here.. but it'd help me to post up my training now I'm trying to improve myself!!

Today...LOL.. SUPPOSED to get out of bed and do a slow 5 this morning but got duvet trouble, couldnt get the darn thing off me!!

HAVE done my core work in the work's gym at lunch though!

Calf... if you like flat and totally mentally detroying with no support you could have a go at Blackpool with me in June, well not "with" me cos you'll fly round that!! Well done for FLM!
