Garrowhillclyde Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Interval training tonight - pyramid session. 1 mile warm up, 3*200m, 3*400, 1 * 600, 2 *400,3 * 200, 1 mile warm down. Looks like the wind will die down - just in time for the snow to kick in. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Been doing 10 min pace runs on treadmill as part of my workout the last couple of weeks between Monday and Thursday. Monday and Wednesday are uphill runs (setting 2.0), with Tuesday and Thursday being flat ones. Averaging 2.7-2.8km on uphill and 2.85-2.98km on flat which is far quicker than my race pace. This should hopefully result in quicker times going forward! the incline on treadmills needs to be set between 1 and 2 to simulate running outdoors - you might want to up the incline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Beware running on treadmills! Knacked my Achilles for months on one, and its not an uncommon injury apparently. Edited December 6, 2013 by Ranaldo Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 the incline on treadmills needs to be set between 1 and 2 to simulate running outdoors - you might want to up the incline I know some sources say that, but I think it is rubbish tbh. I find it far tougher on treadmill at 2 than running on the flat, even accounting for wind resistance. Anyway, Pollok Park is my likely location tomorrow morning for the 5th anniversary run. If it is moved to the off-road course then it will be Victoria Park! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Covered 4.4k run 1 week 6 tonight. Thinking of pollock park run next Saturday? Want to try a 5k and get a feel for pacing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I would advise doing Victoria Park first as it is flat and fast. Will be a nice way to ease yourself in. Did Pollok Parkrun this morning in 18:41, which is 3 seconds outside my course pb. Quite pleased with that. My new Garmin Forerunner 10 had it at 4.78km for the course, in part due to me hugging the inside line as I do and partly due to it not tracking perfectly the whole way round. Going to Victoria Park next week and hoping it is more accurate with less trees! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BishyTON Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Vicky park is one on edge jordanhill? Yeah - if going by train then get off at Jordanhill. It is lower level train at Glasgow Central. It is a 500-600m walk from there to the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Went to the Strathclyde parkrun this morning, first time I have run for 6 weeks. Enjoyed it but not surprisingly my time was awful. That's 48 parkruns done 2 go now till I enter the 50 club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrowhillclyde Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Tollcross yesterday. much slower than last week due to the interval training on thursday night. Murder polis! Amazing how much it took out, even 36 hours later. was still an enjoyable run though, followed later by a parkrun piss-up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neefie Noodle Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Did a pot luck session on Thursday. 1 lap effort, half lap effort, 1 lap effort, 3 lap effort, 1 lap walk, hill reps, it was torture in the cold! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munter Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Had this crappy cold/flu thing for a month and finally felt well enough to run a couple of times this weekend. Does it ever feel good to felt the road under your feet again... Lost a lot of fitness though. 10k took 55 mins whereas a month ago I was doing a low 47. Anyone else starting to plan runs for next year? Have my eye on the Edinburgh and Dundee halves and the Ness full marathon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonds2002 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I went over on my ankle this morning. Managed to recover but I was clearly compensating as my calf of the other side cramped up. Would have been better staying in bed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Duck Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Anyone run the path from Blackness to South Queensferry before? Doing it tomorrow and want to get a feel for how muddy it will be if the weather's bad - I don't have trail shoes. Did this yesterday. Really nice route, almost exactly 10k to the main car park at SQ. Only downside is that you have to divert around Hopetoun House, which involves more of a climb than I was expecting! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Tonight was the 1st run for me since I hurt my achilles doing the Lochaber half (early November) . I ran an entire mile and I did it in just under 10 minutes. Bring on the London Marathon!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
