Triathlons are my New sport and I LOVE IT  

 

Recent last few years  as I havent done much since I was 16/17yrs, on and off injuries, going out with Friends started. Operations on injuries- compartment syndrome front of the shin had small operation to release the pressure on the fascia.

Oct 2007.  Did the great north run.  ( I was in the elite ladies race, against Kara Goucher and Paula Radcliffe, Im sure u Americans will recall that race).

 I was just in on my previous times from the Bath Half Marathon. I ran it as best as I could off my training & circumstances...

 

Decided to do my 1st Marathon with London looming in the following April I was in the ladies Elite race again.  So the training was on.  I realise now I didnt give my body enough time to recover as it did break down in the last 5 weeks of my training. Injury bound, with calf and hamstring problems I raced! 

London Marathon, April 08 (Injury calf issues) 1st marathon  3hrs.12mins .30 secs

Dublin Marathon  Oct 08  3hrs.01mins.13  undulating and 1 toilet stuck/stop (LOL)

On top of the leader board except for Brent and his cross training miles. Keep it up.

Barry No I will try look tonight, been trying to find a run 10k for the weekend of 22 August anywhere in the uk but needs to be fast course preferably 1 lap any one know of a good road race ahhhh!

Burt thanks, I dont count my xtrainer as miles, flip should do but dont :-)

From Adam RW on Mon, Jul 06, 2009 at 23:09:31 from 98.202.223.65

Glad to see your training going so well. You know your trainers have had enough when they leave the room by themselves...

From ChrisM on Tue, Jul 07, 2009 at 06:45:29 from 130.88.123.4

From sam Dean-Howard on Tue, Jul 07, 2009 at 07:55:47 from 78.32.130.9

Chris your a Gem thanks, I found the Birchwood one is supposed to be flat but lots of roundabouts in it!

Everton 10k not flat or fast, Kirkham I will have t check that one out,

the Merthry Police race sounds good and we are supposed to be booking a holiday for that week, if I can talk my hubby into staying in this country well I could find something near that one LOL although Champions run over 600 miles bit far for that one heheh :-)

Adam yes theyre leaving the room on their own urgghhh keep spraying with proper trainer deodoriser not working and these have only done approx 300 miles I think need to check on that one

From Jason McK on Tue, Jul 07, 2009 at 11:50:16 from 63.255.173.99

Thanks for the link. I'm guessing that Ryan knows how to train better than most...

From sam Dean-Howard on Tue, Jul 07, 2009 at 12:29:33 from 90.195.99.105

Yeah but every athlete needs differing training, im naturally an 800m 1500m runner so I have to work much harder on endurance and stamina.... of course I would love to train like Ryan but again im upto 80 miles a week with a job and house to run... thanks Jason
