Reina Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Looking at the Runners World Training Pace Calculator, my tempo run on Tuesday was perfect pace. Boost. God knows what we're doing tonight - I think km timed runs. Killer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIFTHEBINO Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Well done. thanks for the link also. Pushed myself hard today. Did 4.5miles without stopping in 34.50m on the treadmill with a slight incline. I would love to be doing 6 mile by the start of march. Small steps buy slowly getting there. Ps. That extra was a killer haha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I was right. 6km, 15 mins gentle-ish jog, then a 1km as fast as you can (I'm not totally sure how fast I did it as I can't work out the points on my Garmin but I glanced at the pace at one point and was doing 5:03min/km and I felt it was steady over the km) then headed back to the start with a tempo km along the way. I actually really enjoyed it. My miles got faster over the course of the run, with my last complete mile being 8:33 - chuffed with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) I worked it out - the timed km was done in 4:48mins! Wow! Mega chuffed with that. ETA: it was uphill, too Edited February 2, 2012 by Reina 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 A one hour long slow run this morning. I tried to belt it for the last five minutes but only managed to keep it up for 2 1/2 and then the last 60seconds - quite disappointed but it gives me my starting point to build on. The Garmin is great for helping pull me back on the slow runs - I have a habit of speeding up so I kept checking my pace and slowing when I started going a bit quick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIFTHEBINO Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Legs where tired but decided to go on the treadmill and put a decent incline on it lol mistake haha. Run to the 3 mile mark not bad and then had to jog /walk the rest as I was fecked lol. 4.5m in 36.06 mins which is 1.16 mins slower than yesterday but with a steeper incline. Ref'ing tomorrow, playing footy Sunday so might not be back on till Sunday night/Monday Edited February 3, 2012 by MIFTHEBINO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another weekly run completed, and in my best time yet! Finished in 45mins, which is 2mins better than my previous PB for the route. Really chuffed with that! Glad the times are getting better in preparation for the 10k too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Another weekly run completed, and in my best time yet! Finished in 45mins, which is 2mins better than my previous PB for the route. Really chuffed with that! Glad the times are getting better in preparation for the 10k too! Sorry didn't reply to your text mate, was in the pub with millsy. Good run again, it is exactly 10km from my front door to where we met you and back. Did that in 54mins and we both felt we could've ran further/faster. Get yourself thru to mine next week so we can vary the route, and if you've got a target time in mind for the 10k let me know and we'll both work towards it. In the last 8 days I've ran over 36km and played 5s twice. Loving my running just now, it's ten times better when you've got your mate's to talk to during. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Finally joined Parkrun after reading about it on here. Bitterly cold this morning, but managed 23.56 which I am really chuffed at. I was surprised how busy it was - almost 300 running - and how "racelike" it was. I'll be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Nice run bully. Managed my longest run to date. 13.71 miles on Friday. 1:45 ish. Glad I did it because at least I know I can get round Inverness when it comes. Legs were going last mile. Delighted with my recovery though. No aches the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Also did my longest run to date this morning - 21k from Linlithgow to Ratho along the canal. Time was too long to mention, but great sense of achievement at the distance. Idle thoughts of doing a HM now seem a bit more feasible. Given that I couldn't run for more than 1 minute at a time this time last year, I'm very pleased. Back to shorter distances for the Olympic Park Run over the next few weeks. Edit - bloody knackered now though! Edited February 5, 2012 by Disco Duck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonds2002 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Went out this morning before work - really eerie running through the most and fog. Everytime I hit a bank of it I felt a real drop in temperature and didnt see anyone at all on my route (usually there is the odd dog walker) Slippy underfoot but no falls - it really works your calves and ankles when its slippy. Intervals tomorrow followed by some core exercises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundermonkey Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Anyone up for dressing like Tron and running round Arthur's Seat in the dark? Speed of Light Dates are filling up fast. Looks like the only dates left are: 12, 15, 16, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 29, 30 (all August) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Aha ha ha... oh dear... I've got a place in the ballot for the GNR. So... oh dear. I've spoken about the GNR before so I won't bore you with my story again but the only, only thing I would suggest is to sort out your accommodation ASAP. The hotels book up fast and if you look at the little guesthouses / BnBs, many of them won't take your booking even if it appears they have space as they have regular GNR guests that they save places for. I couldn't get a hotel room when I ran it so my family drove down at 5am in the morning and then drove home in the late afternoon. The drive home utterly destroyed my legs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks Gaz - I've got friends in the area where I could hopefully crash at, right Neefie? Very exciting! And I'm in a much better place with my training than I was when I started training for Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm in a much better place with my training than I was when I started training for Edinburgh. Good stuff! A solid 12km from me last night in just over an hour. Slowly getting back up to pace and able to put in a decent bit of mileage. An easy 35 minutes planned this evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
