Spans Plan Week Five err Four!

Yes I got all confused! For some reason I thought I was on week 5 so off I went last night and did 30 mins at 5:1 with the running at 7.5 and the walking at 4.5 + warm up cool down giving 4.2km in 40 mins. The 7.5 is starting to feel easy as such and the good news is that 1min rest was fine, I wasn't struggling to recover. So a good run. Came in to record stats and realised it should have been 5:2!

Oh well no harm done - makes up (sort off!) for missing 20mins last week!

I'm really pleased with the tready and even though I am using it lat (10.45 last night) it does mean I am sleeping well and I'm not bothered about going out that late.

Will rest today and then tomorrow is speedwork - and a harder session.

5min jog warm up & 5min walk warm down then
pyramid session 400m, 600m, 800m. 600m, 400m with 2mins jog recovery.
400m takes a bit under 3mins so this one will be harder! Not sure if I should try for the 9 again like last week or drop to 8.5km ph. The 8.5 seems favorite I think!!

Rest Thursday then 40 mins at 5:2 Friday, rest Saturday and long run Sunday!

Running is good right now! There is a 13K run near mum in July - I may be tempted to do that. We'll see! Don't think I will do the Nottingham half still but who knows. If the running comes along great guns then I may enter it. Again we'll see, but I don't just want to do a half I want to run it. Run it well and now walking for a time and a good PB which is why I am not too bothered about it for now! But who knows what the future will bring!!

later that day

Sat at work and I've realised that my right knee is stiffening up when I don't move it for a while. I've had this before but note sure what it is. Thinking back my right leg felt more tired after last nights run. Good job today is a rest day really.

As may have gathered I'm back.

Tready is being put to good use as well and even better your training is coming together quite nicely.

Keep up the good work.

don't push it too much if you have a sore knee

Beanz I planned a rest today and have taken it (and can feel I needed it!) and the knee is already losening which is great news!

The Next Three Weeks

So I have a few busy weeks ahead that may, or may not, affect what happens here. So this weekend I am running the Chester metric marathon - should do about 3:30 and get a PB by around 30 mins if things go to plan. Next week I am on holiday and have the in-laws visiting which will be nice. Then after then I have 2 weeks of jury service in Derby. I really want to get a case as I am really interested in knowing what actually happens and what it's like in court. But knowing my luck I will have 2 weeks of waiting for nothing. I have Ami's zoom calls to review and take notes on, books to read, coloring/drawing to try my hand at and Loki to watch! After that the exciting news is my part time request has gone through so from 4th December I will be part time. Very exciting. Then hopefully I can start a potential path to being a swimming teacher. Fun days ahead

What Are You??

Apparently I am a geek after spending some time chatting to a first line support person and comparing degrees!! I am also apparently an executive as I earn more than a certain sum of money! This I must point out is executive in the eyes of a Midlands person and not a southern!! I think I am a runner and a mother because I run and have a son! I don't think I have a career and would struggle to define what I really do! Talking of which I may change the address for this site to blog.html or similar because if I do go job hunting I am not sure if my made ramblings should be front page news!! hehe!! I currently work in IT doing support with a hint of customer service at second line. I run and I'm trying to learn to draw! So what or who are you!?!
