Simplycynical your training is amazing:D-mine seems really poor in comparrison, esp as running marathon on same day:eek: How do you all come up with training plans? I have a book that I am following for marathon but not sure where to go after that?
Interval training today ( I hate intervals!!!) not bad times though. 1min intervals with 1min rest (6.46, 6.51, 6.45, 6.24, 6.31, 6.36, 6.39, 6.45, 6.11, 6.36).
How did 10k go EC?

I like that - 1 min rest followed by 1 min rest, my kind of session!;)

Only kidding, the terminology is often used loosely but the intervals are the rest, the tough bits in between are the reps (or repetitions).

Anyway, well done on getting an interval session under your belt....what do the list of figures actually refer to?

Good afternoon, a quick post from me as have to pick up the kids from nursery.

Well done on your 10 miler Becky

Good luck in your 10km EC

Hope you've had/will have a good run anyone else running today.

I've just been out for mine I think I picked it up a bit because I had to get back for the kids, it just shows there's more good runs to come hopefully!

More great running from Becky and Rich I see. :T

Well done evab - you're certainly clocking up a few miles this week. Hope your little one is ok now

tq16 - I was very fortunate in that Becky prepared a training plan for me. I get to do the easy bit which is fall out of bed, put on my running shoes and do as the plan tells me. :cool:

Hello and welcome catspaw; you'll find we're a friendly bunch on this thread just don't mention run/walk/run and you'll be fine. There's loads of help and advice available. Are you a new runner?

How did your run go EC??????

So when the big 20m Simplycynical....

20m is my max untill month before my marathon them in going to do a 22m. which should have been on the 11th of October but i have the 10m Race the week after that and i want to try and get a good time so will have to move it to the 4th October... which is not 100% to plan but it will have to do i guess .

which gives the excitment and the liveing on the edge of the unkown last 4.2m on marathon day

becky_rtw

Just try not too push too hard between mile 18 and 20 and you shouldnt hit the wall Uk

More good running Simply!!!

Welcome to catspaw

Wow evab thats a nice pace pick up - good to know you've got it under the tank when necessary!

Ukevas

I would like to argee but at that point in Athens you are running up the hill :P

becky_rtw

Ahhh you cant bleat on that one - I did warn it was a) hilly and b) hot!!!

(not really - I hope you run really well and dont hit the wall and get the time you want - partly so I've got another target to aim at before Rich of course, but partly because you've worked ruddy hard and deserve to do well!)

I've got my first 20 mile run on Sunday :eek:

It's the first of 4 before my marathon - but there are no 22 milers in my plan so I'll be running into the unknown for the last 6.2

At least Abingdon is flat and in October should be on the cool side ....... I do envy you running Athens though.

Blimey this thread has gone mental in the last three days! Welcome to gingerscot and catspaw and any other newbies I've just forgotten. Welcome back to some people - though I don't think I was around when you were previously.

Good running from the usual suspects too :cool:

Reporting in two runs so far this week:
Monday: 10k in 59:13 (9:33/mile)
Wednesday: 6m in 57:17 (9:31/mile)

Total for the week = 12.2 miles.

Today was better in terms of consistent and increasing pace. Monday was a bit all over the place. Followed some chap for much of the last mile today and he kept my pace to just under 9min/miles just as I was tiring which was helpful His legs indicated he could have gone a lot faster (not that I was looking... :whistle:) so pleased he was going at a rate I could tag onto! And a major first - all the joggers out on the streets smiled/nodded back to me today (business park right by the office aside but they never do there). For some silly reason that made me happy.

Planning to run tomorrow and then Saturday - though we are away this weekend so what/where/how-long is up for debate or how lost I get!
