Wow lots of good running going on yesterday...

mascott i managed to complete half marathon distance in 2:09.15 - thats soooo great!!! :j:j:j Think what you can do in your half now too - exciting!

Simply - another good solid fartlek session - are your fast bits getting longer then or quicker to make the change in overall pace??

Poor - well done on the speedwork - it must have been tough if you needed your inhaler! Good luck for the hill session later in the week

chickadee - you most certainly can run :rolleyes: we only need to look at the wava boards to see that *Becky goes off muttering to herself about her distinct lack of pace *

Rich - already heard about your run (thanks for waking me up ) but it looks even more impressive written down

Hope you get out soon K_bagpuss!

Did a nice easy 10k this morning in 58:41 - had to fight a bit at the start because I was in a lovely rhythm that I wanted to keep up but was rather stiff from yesterdays session...anyway its all good for another of the same tomorrow

Happy running!

Did I hear that correctly? Its going to be the hottest day of the year today in big parts of the country!

UK - No, I think you'll find it was indeed 7-1!;) (Just have a look for the team that are the top scorers in the country with the best goal difference.:D:D).

Becky - 54:41...thats a bit swift for a recovery run isnt it? Are you sure it wasnt 1:54:41?:p

Well, that was fun. It was probably a bit fast for a mid-week run but my legs felt strong and I really enjoyed pushing it a bit.

There's so much good running going on that this thread moves faaaast - well done Krider, poorbabe, chick, rich and becky (I hope I haven't missed anyone).

Becky - re. fartlek sessions; I'm not sure if it's faster for longer or quicker overall. I'll have look through my splits tonight and see what they tell me.

Happy running everyone

Nice running Simply

Sorry Rich was a typo dont get too excited it was 58:54...

Enemies.Closer

Got out last night and although it was my first run since my 10k felt very strong!! Stronger than anytime before, is this a good thing??

The only 2 things that annoyed me was my hamstrings felt very tight in parts of the run and I got a stich in the same place as I got one in the 10k, should this be a problem??

Anyway I tried to slow it down over 4.6 miles and though I was until I stopped my watch at the finish and it showed 41:15 (8:58 min/mile) I think thats the quickest I run yet!!

Now to the 6.6 miler tomorrow morning??

Enemies.Closer

By the way Rich yes I am really enjoying running at the moment!!

I feel a structured approach to it is the way to go to build up the distance but really looking to get the times down now but I know this will come in time!!

Dont worry about stitch to much i used to get them all the time when i started aint had one for months now.. just make sure your not eating to soon before a run. Otherwsie its just a case of letting the body get used to running and at some point the stich's will ( Should ) stop
