Medium Long Run - 12 Miles
I've got some heavy work commitments at the moment which are causing me to miss a few training sessions. So its putting me "off schedule". Even more concerning however is the pain I've got in my right leg, and it seems to be getting worse. I'm not su...
14 Miles - 8 @ Marathon Pace
This was supposed to be a straightforward 18 mile long run, but I decided to do the first 8 miles at my Marathon Pace. I figured that as I missed a few of my scheduled runs this week I'd be able to increase the intensity since I effectively had a bit...
Medium Long Run - 13 Miles HR150 Max
I missed my run last night as I was not home until after 9pm and at that stage just couldn't get out the door as I was really tired and had a long day travelling to various work meetings.But tonight, my legs felt a bit fresher as a result of missing...
17 Miles - 14 @ Marathon Pace
The Long Run today was 17 miles with 14 at marathon pace. The first 3 miles were just a warm up and I decided that for marathon pace I needed to be a bit less ambitious then I had started out when I started the schedule. So I aimed for a pace of 7.40...
Medium Long Run - 15 Miles HR150 Max
After last nights run, my legs are very sore and heavy. Nevertheless this run was fine. I managed a pace of 8.18 min/mile pace for an average HR of 148bpm. It felt fairly comfortable apart from my legs which do hurt a lot actually following my interv...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
I did say I wanted to take it easy this week, and due to work commitments yesterday I didn't manage to get out for a run as it was too late when I got back from Leicester where I had to go for a meeting. So having rested yesterday, tonight's run went...
Medium Long Run - 15 Miles HR150 Max
As expected, having had a few days rest, this run went well for me. It makes me think that when I have all the mileage in my legs, it does reduce my ability to run at pace. I haven\'t reached a level of fitness to handle the miles and the runs that i...
Medium Long Run - 13 Miles HR150 Max
This was a good run for me, I felt good and managed to get a good pace going. I ended up slightly over my HR target of 150bpm at 153bpm, no problem with that. My pace was a very nice 7.58 min/mile for the distance which is a bit more like it.I'm conc...
Medium Long Run - 15 Miles HR150 Max
I'm feeling really good today, and this run was a good run at a nice pace for an aerobic workout. My aim is to limit my aerobic workouts to 150bpm and the average for this run was a couple of beats more at 152bpm. But I got into a "groove" and it fel...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
Today is my birthday, and its two years this month since I started running, and having started running two years ago, I was also here in France on holiday at this very location. Looking back through my log my runs were 5 miles maximum, and I remember...
Medium Long Run - 11 Miles HR150 Max
I did my long run last night and my legs could tell. Although my HR was fine tonight my legs did object a bit and felt tired. Usually the schedule allows a rest day, then an easy day following the long run. As I'm on holiday tomorrow I've had to rear...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
Thankfully my new running shoes which I ordered on-line arrived today. My size was out of stock and its taken two weeks for them to get them in for some reason. I could just have gone into town and bought them, I'd have paid a bit more but I'd have h...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
I left it as long as I could today before leaving home for my run. Its still very warm as I set off and it becomes evident very quickly that this is going to be a plod. As this is the end of my recovery week its a 14 mile run today, but within a coup...
Medium Long Run - 11 Miles (HR Ignored)
I went down to the club tonight and met a few of the guys, but I went off doing my own thing to make sure I followed my plan. It can be a bit "anti-social" when you are trying to follow a specific schedule of your own, but hopefully it'll be worth in...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
Tonight was still warm and breezy, our weather has been really weird over the last few weeks, apparently its the gulf stream, fresh water versus salt water, blah blah blah, thats at fault. I'll have to spew more toxic fumes into the atmosphere to con...
Medium Long Run - 11 Mile L2 HR150 Max
Its just not going to be my week. Again, this run felt really sluggish and slow. I started out ok, but it didn't take long for me to grind to a halt. I was determined to obey my Heart Rate limit of 150bpm, as I've still got a few more miles to "bank"...
Medium Long Run - 14 Miles HR150 Max
Phew, did I not enjoy that run!!!Following my run last night I really haven't been looking forward to this run at all. And of course, if you are not up for it, its always going to be a chore. And that is the story of tonights run. It was to be "endur...
Medium Long Run - 15 Mile L2 HR150 Max
This run felt really good this evening, apart from the last couple of miles where the heat seemed to take its toll on me and started slowing me down a bit. My legs were feeling tired at that point and the heat seemed to get increase at that point. Bu...
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...
Medium Long Run - 13 Miles HR150 Max
My Pfitzinger & Scott schedule called for a Medium Long Run of 13 miles tonight at an aerobic pace. Its been quite warm out today and I left it a little later before leaving home, so that it would cool down a bit. I felt fairly good for the first 4 m...
Medium Long Run - 11 Mile L2 HR150 Max
Tonight the schedule called for a 12 mile Medium Long Run, so I set off with my fluorescent jacket rolled up in a ball so I could carry it in my hand. The skies were black and threatening and it was only a matter of time before it rained. I like the...
Medium Long Run - 15 Mile L2 HR150 Max
I really wasn't looking forward to todays run, especially after last nights pretty dismal 5 miles of attempted recovery which felt awful. I strapped on my Nathan Hydration belt so that I could carry some water with me and I also took a couple of pack...
Medium Long Run - 11 Mile L2 HR150 Max
My Pfitzinger schedule called for an 11 mile Medium Long Run today. The schedule defines anything between 11 and 16 miles as a medium long run. The medium long run reinforces the long runs (17 miles +) done during the course of the schedule to build...
