Neefie Noodle Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 just a word of warning, if your run is in 2 weeks you want to be tapering your distance in 1 week. I'm having a rest this weekend as I've had a heavy week. Ran 3.3 miles in 23 mins 24 secs on Tuesday. Then had a hard pyramid session on Thurday. 2 reps of 1-2-3-2-1 minute efforts. Legs have been heavy ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) just a word of warning, if your run is in 2 weeks you want to be tapering your distance in 1 week. I'm having a rest this weekend as I've had a heavy week. Ran 3.3 miles in 23 mins 24 secs on Tuesday. Then had a hard pyramid session on Thurday. 2 reps of 1-2-3-2-1 minute efforts. Legs have been heavy ever since. 5 weeks for me. I'm not where i should be according to the training plan though. That had me at 18 miles with 3 weeks to go, which is a big ask. I'm hoping to get my distance up to that with 2 weeks to go, then take it easier. Shorter runs and continue with the hill runs and HIIT. I've been doing a bit of legwork on the weights. I've notced a huge difference in the last 2-3 weeks fitness wise though, since doing the hill runs. Also got a programme from a running magazine for treadmill work, and tweaked it: 10 mins at 5/10 intensity 1min 6 1min 7 1min 6 1min 7 1min 8 1min 7 1min 8 1min 9 1min 10 10 mins 5 warm down That's certainly helped a bit i think.

Ziggy Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) 7 miles into my run last night I got a sharp pain in my right calf which was bad enough to make me stop running immediately. I went and had a sports massage this morning and hope it was worth all the pain. I've not experienced pain like that in a while. Time for me to take a week off from running. 5 weeks to go Edited April 16, 2011 by Ziggy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 That's another 6 miles that Nizzy and myself bagged this morning. Highlights include running through a cemetery and taking in the breathtaking Grangemouth scenery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamonds2002 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I didn't really hit anything approaching a wall until about 9 miles It was my first 9 miles run that did me in when I was trainign for the half marathon last year. It kind of feels almost trance like but not in a good way. It was also the point that I realised that I would need to start eating on my longer runs. Take some Jelly babies with you and have a handful at 6 miles or 40-45mins. London Marathon 2012 ballot opens 26.04.2011. Cheers for that - i failed to get entry this year and it looked amazing on the TV yesterday morning. Really want to do it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relieved we made it past the cemetery before I got the notion I was about to shit myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Any injury advice would be most welcome... I've started getting a sharp pain on the outside of my left kneecap the last week and a half. Really felt it after a 10 mile + run last Saturday, it eased up, then was back with a vengeance after 4 miles on Wednesday. I couldn't even manage 2 miles on a fucking treadmill yesterday. Any experienced (ie previously injured runners) got any ideas WTF i've done to it? I don't remember any actual incident that could have caused it. I'm doing the Edinburgh Marathon on 22nd May I'm seriously worried! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reina Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I would maybe go and see a physio - mate of mine did it and she got a massage and has been fine since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i'm making an appointment with one next week. Hopefully this is just a minor thing that's easy to rectify. Not only do i need to run this marathon, i need to get some more training in as well. A week's rest should help a bit as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
