Note
(rest day)

Not-so-restful night out last night, was going to take another day off anyway though... I'm going to pretend last week never happened and carry on building up my running in a more gradual way.

2 x mini sprint races round the Lodge when we got home, only decided to do it at the last minute so only chance for a teeny weeny jog to warm up. Fun, but my legs were so tired, it took a lot of effort to run strongly. And we had no descriptions and i managed to mispunch, oops!

Sprint loops, Stirling. Dead tired and had a few brain freezes, was a bit annoyed with myself so re-ran some bits. Short training this afternoon, but think this was about as much as my legs were happy doing. Nice cafe stop afterwards though :-)

Hanging controls, shadowing and stuff at Polmaise. Fun to be O'ing again, the map wasn't amazing, so it was good for making me use my compass.

4 PM

Alternative training 1:54:00 [1]

Wanted to do some more training, but didn't think more running was a good idea so hired a bike from our accommodation and went for a nice ride to Loch Katrine. Pissing rain but good otherwise :-)

Aquarunning - easy 1:00:00 [2]

6 PM

Running - easy 37:00 [2]

From home. Bit tired from this morning but feeling so strong, wish i could have run more like this a few weeks ago! My times were loads faster than they ever used to be. Adductors a bit tight, i think they're just getting used to running again, and left calf a bit tight at the end, so will keep an eye on that.

Going up to Callander for a week's training tomorrow (hanging controls for NEJS), should be fun and will fill up my training graph with lots of pretty blue. i might even learn how to read a map again :-)

My legs and back are v achy today, so having a day of alternative training before continuing with the running. Also had such a crap night's sleep last night, can't normally drink coffee but i had to have one this morning before i got myself out the house! Really tired now, afternoon off for lounging around i think...

Hamstrings still really tight, did some stretching for them.

Alternative training long 3:38:00 [1]

Like last week but with a bit extra at the end. Felt tired this morning, so not really sure how i managed to do it faster. Warm when i started and real hot by the end, was happy to take my helmet off! Think i just about earned an ice cream :-)

Friday Jul 9, 2010 #

12 PM

Aquarunning - easy 1:15:00 [2]

Just steady today, starting to enjoy this (!), i guess cos it's the closest thing to running i have at the minute

Thursday Jul 8, 2010 #

Note

My shin is feeling completely better, but I still have 12 days left of the three-week minimum I'm supposed to avoid running for. Gonna be strict with myself and stick to this.

5 PM

Alternative training hills 21:00 [4]

17x1:20ish

Alternative training warm up/down 20:00 [1]

Didn't include the downhills because I wasn't doing anything!
There was a farmer in a tractor going past a few times who must have thought I was completely crazy. Felt quite easy to start with but real hard work by the end.

Wednesday Jul 7, 2010 #

12 PM

Aquarunning - easy intervals 1:00:00 [3]

Longer rests and shorter intervals than usual as this is my first aquarunning intervals. Why is this less tiring than sitting on my ass working all morning?!

6 PM

S&C 25:00 [2]

Tuesday Jul 6, 2010 #

5 PM

Alternative training 55:00 [1]

Legs dead tired today and I'm supposed to be taking it fairly easy still, so just a little ride to loosen off after work.

Monday Jul 5, 2010 #

6 PM

Alternative training 1:00:00 [2]

A full day out working in Boltby before this, so I was quite tired but enjoyed it still. The pool is open again too, so can get some aquarunning done :-)

Sunday Jul 4, 2010 #

11 AM

S&C (circuity stuff) 45:00 [3]

Was gonna go aquarunning but walked to the pool to find it was closed for repair, so walked back home again and did some circuits. Quads a bit tired from yesterday but good otherwise.

S&C 20:00 [3]

Planks and stuff.

Saturday Jul 3, 2010 #

8 AM

Alternative training 3:42:00 [1]

Along the coast path to Scarborough and back. Always wanted to do this, and now seemed like a good chance. Really nice, some nice long hills, on the downside it might be a while before I can sit down comfortably again...
