Been Pole Dancing??

Most people see you hot sweaty and in running kit and say "been jogging?" not the chap I work with!

For some stupid reason I decided a lunchtime run in 23C + was an excellent idea!! I came back 45mins later, dripping and red and was greated by a cheerful "been pole dancing luv!" Made me smile that did!!

Anyway this session. 5mins walk run warm up then 8 sets of 3:1. Mile 1 took 12:30 despite the slow 1st 5mins! Felt good, pace was nice and even and not that hard. Mile two also 12:30. Ok So the legs were getting tired by then! Something to do with yesterdays hard session and the searing heat!! Mile 3 was basically a crawl! By the time I got to my cool down I was very happy to walk!!

Now if I could find the person who said today's run was a good thing to do I would have serious words with them!!

Still I can now happily relax for the next 2 days without feeling guilty after 7 days of training!

This week in summery:
Monday: Swim - 1.2m (1hr 3)
Tuesday: Run - 2m (27mins)
Wednesday: Swim - 1.2m (59mins)
Thursday: Cycle (X2) - 7.2m (40mins)
Swim - 0.75m (34mins)
Run - 1/4m (!! 4mins!)
Friday: Run - 3.3m (44mins)

Not Bad!

Bike training would be good.

;o)

Seriously Pix. I did alot of bike training last summer and this year I've ridden it around 4-5 times during the winter. It felt a whole lot different when I got on it a few days ago and I'm seriously behind with confidence. Is work near enough to cycle to...? (Bearing in mind that this is coming from someone who cycles 24 miles to work)

The choice was getting wet or getting wet. I opted for the wet but warm option rather than the wet, cold and wind swept option! So 1m done at the pool including 2 goals being achieved and some board work. I said a while ago I wanted to be able to do 20 lengths non stop DONE and 10 lengths of front crawl non stop DONE!! So happy pixie. Used a different pool today as I wanted to see about lessons for Gnome. It was a nightmare to locate the car park and once I found it, it was full to the brim with cars circling for spaces so I drove the 200m down the road to the free parking and nabbed the last space there instead! The pool is old so not pretty or ponced up but it is clean and in good repair and they do Saturday lessons and Gnome can start this week! OK so he then has 2 weeks off but how good is that! My other option was the pool near work and a possible start mid February! So just need to get the OK from Gnome and a commitment to get out of bed for a 9:30 lesson every week until March (...

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...

Time Trial Time!

I’m very poor at pushing myself and doing speed work but recently I’ve started doing a virtual mile “race” each month and 5k too. Last weekend I got a season best on my mile at 10:50 which isn’t fast but the fastest I’ve run for way over 10 years! Today I did a speedier 5k. My last couple have been on the same “course” at home but today I was having my car MOTd so ran were I was. This meant a lot of corners and looping so I wasn’t expecting any improvement but I managed to take 5s off my time!  Ok so again not fast at 36:42 but I’m slow and fat! and I’ve been running for distance and endurance for the last few months.  My “A” race is next weekend after that I’m going to try and work on my speed. I’ll be doing a 5m race series over the winter which will hopefully help.  So I’ll using Ami’s teachings and focusing on imagining working hard to keep going when it hurts.  I won’t get to PB shape yet (well possibly not!) but I hope to take minutes off the best tim...
