Hmmmmm

Following on from Sunday's fun run I rested on Monday and then prepared to hit week 7 of the Spans Plan

It read:
Steady Run
45mins
-> 10mins ratio 5 run: 1 walk
-> 20mins run
-> 10mins ratio 5 run: 1 walk

Easy she thinks and drags butt out off bed to the tready. Gnome had decided to get up at 6 which wasn't part of the plan and I was on the tready by 6.30.

I did:

1min walk warm up
5mins run (7.5km for runs)
1mins walk
5mins run
1min walk
1min stretch
10mins run
5mins walk
sulk
sulk
strop
shower

My legs felt like lead, they were heavy and tried my HR was high too, topping 189 by the end of the 10mins run (193 is what I get doing intervals so this is high). Gnome had decided to join me on the exercise bike and was distracting me and I gave up. I was really annoyed at giving up. (Gnome did 11mins on the exercise bike and declared he had done 11miles!)

This morning I have woken up with a sore clammy throat, stiff all over (especially my back when I first got up) and a headache (started yesterday really) so I guess that explains it.

Still feed up about it though!

Pix, vrap once said to me "your body can get better, or it can run - don't expect it to do both well if you push it"

:o)

It'll come good again.

don't be fed up - just wait and then you'll get your spring back in your step.

It is one of the great uses of HRM - a high rate than normal gives you a warning that something is going wrong and you need to ease back

I'm with Highway Kind here. The high HR showed that your body wasn't in a mood to play today.

Take your HR before getting out of bed in the morning and apply this rule of thumb

If its 5 bpm over normal, easy run at most
If its 10 bpm or more over normal then no running at all.

There are some truely wonderful people out there

just recieved this by mail from a fellow blogger. I want to share it so everyone can benefit as I have. I've wiped my tears away and I've printed this up so when I am getting sulky and down I will read this and remember .... Aim High! (how appropriate is that name!) Don't EVER think that you any any less of a runner than anyone else Kim, You show a dedication and determination that puts many people to shame. You have a goal for your marathon time which is truly amazing - and I am inspired by it..We all have our dream peaks (sorry about the mountain reference again - I'm a mountaineer too!) - and they are a reflection of who we are and what we are able to acheive - for ourselves - and anyone who can't see the value of that endeavour is blind indeed.When you run your next pb - to me that is as phenomenal an achievement as any world record..and I will bounce up and down like a mad thing at the thought of it - and I get pretty animated when I'm excited about somethi...

Remember this?

Yes I'm back on the bench :-( That sore foot thing on Wednesday... well it's still here. In typical bruised fashion it hurts more after a period of sitting down/sleep and I've been popping the brufen. There is a slight swelling too. Don't think it is laces ... on closer inspection the pain is (looks at google ... gives up and picks up "how to run injury free" instead) on the sesamoids area of the err middle phalanger (??? impressed hey!) In the same location where you would get morton's neuroma but the description is wrong so I don't think it's that!! (oh the perils of a little knowledge from a book or the web hey!) Anyways this means I'm on the bench. No running. I have 4 or 5 weeks until the Suicide Sixish so no panic, I will take 1 whole week off regardless and see what happens next weekend. Also think I will get some new shoes with more cushioning. Now all I need to do is locate my bike and/or exercise bike from the depths of the garage un...

Planning Ahead

Right well this is the start of my week's plan! Tomorrow I will do test run on the tready afterwork which means I can easily stop if not right. Thursday I have the Christmas play to watch! Sunday I WILL GET UP EARLY and do a 2hr run! Problem is driving along thinking about where to run isn't a good idea when it's 5:30 rush hour traffic home! I've still not got my route planned. 2hrs will be 9+m I think and I don't really want to hit the main roads, much rather potter about on the back roads and the trail, I just don't know them so don't know which roads are safe to run on! Me finks I may do a detor on the way to work tomorrow!! hehe
