22 Mile Long Run
Todays run is the longest run of the schedule and I had to plan to do it early in the day as I'm off to see The Police in concert this evening. This is not ideal for me as I'd usually prefer to run later in the day once I'm fuelled up. I seem to "ope...
10 Mile General Aerobic 150bpm Max
My legs still feel a little tired especially after last nights run. But tonight was easy enough. I focused on just trying to relax and I think it is something I need to do more of. Tonight's run is going to be the last one until next week. I am away...
8.5 Mile General Aerobic 150bpm Max + Strides
We packed the car and got underway to catch the ferry from Dover to Calais, and then about 6 hours later arrived in Dol de Bretagne, France. I was tired from driving and my knee was complaining from been constricted in the car all day long apart from...
Medium Long Run - 12 Miles HR150 Max
Wow, that's a definite improvement, my schedule called for a 12 mile run, and I did just over 12.5 miles. Average HR of 150bpm and average pace over the distance of 8.04 min/mile. Last nights run, albeit for half the distance, was similar in terms of...
8 Mile General Aerobic 150bpm Max + Strides
What a difference a day makes, my rest day might have been just what the doctor ordered. Tonight's run was the first of my recovery week runs and was a total of 8 miles including some strides. I did the first 6 miles at my normal aerobic pace by HR w...
Medium Long Run - 12 Miles HR150 Max
The wind tonight was gusting to 30mph, and with rain forecast, I had intended to go to the club but decided to get out the door early and get my run done. The schedule called for 12 miles tonight, and even going down the club I probably would have on...
Lactate Threshold - 10.6 miles (5 Aerobic, 4 Threshold Pace, Cool Down)
It was pouring with rain tonight, which was fine, I was looking forward to having a splash through the puddles tonight. The rain is very refreshing when you're running so that was fine with me. The only downside is that it does make the road surface...
9 Mile General Aerobic 150bpm + Strides
As I suspected my legs were a bit tired tonight. I guess thats as a result of my bike ride yesterday when perhaps I should have had a total rest day, but I've also stepped it up a notch with my weight training session this morning as well. So I suppo...
Medium Long Run - 11 Mile L2 HR150 Max
Club night again tonight and I arrived a little bit earlier then the others to get out the door to complete my Medium Long Run of 11 miles that my schedule called for. And while I don't need to go to the club to run by myself its good that I have a d...
Lactate Threshold - 9 miles (5 Aerobic, 4 Threshold Pace)
Today's Pfitzinger & Scott Schedule called for a 9 mile run, 5 miles at Aerobic pace and 4 miles at Lactate pace. I know from my treadmill test that my Lactate HR zone is from 163bpm - 170bpm, which is similar to the recommended HR that Pfitzinger &...
General Aerobic 9 Mile Club Run
I arrived a bit earlier then usual at the club tonight so that I could get out for a 9 mile run which the schedule called for. If I went out with some of the others I'd end up running too fast and just end up shattered for my Long Run on Saturday. I'...
General Aerobic 8.5 mile 150bpm Max + Strides
This is the start of my second week on the Pfitzinger 18-Week Marathon Schedule in preparation for the Dublin Marathon at the end of October. Week one went well, according to plan and I managed to do all of the sessions in the schedule without too mu...
General Aerobic 9.7 Mile Club Run
My schedule tonight called for a 9 mile General Aerobic run, and as its a club night I wasn't sure what was on the agenda but had made up my mind to do my own run and follow my schedule. In addition I'm not feeling very comfortable at pace at the mom...
General Aerobic 150bpm Max + Strides
This is the first run in my Marathon Schedule in preparation for Dublin in 18 weeks time. The schedule Required 8 Miles w/10 x 150m strides today, so I ran the first 6 miles at my aerobic level of 150bpm max heart rate. This gave me a pace of 8.45 mi...
6 Mile L2 HR150 Max
The area in front of my hip still felt very tight this evening and it took a couple of miles before the "stiffness" disappeared. It was very warm, no breeze and about 22 degrees. I'm not sure what to expect with these runs but can't help feeling disa...
11 Mile L2 HR150 Max - Aerobic Run
Definitely frustrated by this run tonight. Although there was a strong headwind, I'm surprised at such a slow pace for an average HR of 150bpm. I've had three days off, so I'm well rested. Temperature wise, its cool out, but it is very windy and I ra...
