Evening everyone. I have only managed one run a week for the last couple of weeks due to family comitments and stuff. It is definitely harder to push myself out of the door in the winter. I can't wait to be able to run out on the fens again it is far too wet at the moment to run on.
I have lost the G28K on my ipod. Don't ask me how or why...I am adding it to my job list. So I ran the freeway to 10K week 9 which was still on my ipod. It was fine. I don't have any park runs near where I live I did look, I think I will have to look and see if I can find a fun run or something to help push me on.
tirlittan I suffer the same disease as you when running...especially if they look like they could be my pupils:eek:
Nice to see you again fedupandskint I had been wondering where you were;)
I love reading all your running posts keep it up everybody:)

Have done 5 miles today Still on my treadmill But I just can't make myself run outside at the moment......hopefully in the spring!
Sounds like everyone is getting themselves out there, which is fab

Well done little miss happy, better running inside than not at all. I didnt' go for a run as it was too cold, but went for a walk (it ended up not being too cold after all as the glorious sunshine warmed very nicely).

Following on from the discussion on high mileage training, I trained exactly to a plan, at 6 runs a week, for the 2010 VLM, I got up to 58 miles per week, and my race went to plan.

This year I do not have the time to put that much in, nor the dedication, so for my 1/2 marathon training I am focussing on one long run a week, which will be 10,then 12 miles, and a couple of shorter runs, so afterwards I will be able to tell if this approach has been enough, I also cycle around 50-60 miles a week to keep the cobwebs off.

I have got back to my 10k route tonight after work. Went ok and now will focus on increasing my time, fitness and strength on this route for the next few weeks

bought some new trainers £70. Couldnt really afford them but my feet are cut, blistered and bruised so had to have them

I did it. Got up early, took DD to breakfast club and ran just over 2 miles :j I found a loop about 1.5 miles near work and my aim is to be able to go round that twice on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Well done Marru

I did 2 miles @ 10 min miles and just over a mile at 8.30 min miles (running a total of 30 mins) yesterday. Don't know if I am going to run today or have a rest.

At last! I went for my 4.5mile run and I felt good! Legs were light and springy and driving me forward and not the lead weights I've been dragging around recently. I guess starting running and cycling at the same time has helped and now I've had 4 easier days and legs have obviously refreshed. Usually do this between 48-52minutes and now managed 44mins! I don't really go for speed on my runs (unless it's park run) just building back up to 20miles a week but really pleased with this evenings run.
