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

Okay, last 2 days no run,

I know amazing or what,

but its just the way the cookie crumbles :)

 

 

My son is ill, and Sunday was a rest day anyway,

and then Monday well I just couldnt get out and the mill

at home well lets just say I was too tired HUH!

 

Okay, so Dylan is still not well but my hubby came

home early so I could get a run in outside, woooohoooo.......

the sun was setting, it wasnt too cold and I enjoyed it through

and over the sand dunes, trails etc in the woods... I must admit

I felt heavy and lethargic, my best way to describe it is

Michelin man LOL.

 

 

 

 

I had a conversation with my coach, he wants me

to re-adjust my Marathon goals based on the 10k pb

I have done, and the training I am doing now.....

he is thinking a marathon pace of 6.30/6.40 I was

alarmed to say the least I am so not sure I will be capable

of this, although that would ring true with most athletes

I think ????? anyone ?????/


 

 

My 1st thought is well lets see how I do in the half marathon

first, but then well I am not allowed to race this only the

last 5 miles I am allowed to race it .... so that wont ring

true of my fitness hmmmmm, maybe I will look for a

fast 10k maybe 3 weeks out from the marathon

 

My legs were not sore after the long run Saturday, but are

now feeling odd, just heavy but I know its the easy week

kicking in. so hey ho and I look forward to training hard

again next week..... but then my son is off School so I am

going to struggle with training, it will be early mornings

I think double days too start next week DOUBLE DAYS

<  E A R L Y  M O R N I N G S  ahhhhh :-O 

 

 

Burt has been on the photoshop again LOL ha ha ha

Seven 7 Seven measley miles, so thats the way it crumbles, another easy run, I am bored I hate being off work I get cabin fever from being the house for more than 1 afternoon, I know my son Dylan is ill, yeah and it aint nice, but he will be okay, I just dont like being cooped up at all

 

did I tell you I did 7 miles early evening, sun was hitting the sea setting quickly whilst I was still in the woods, but it was still light enough to be safe well sort of, anyway I was on the road home soon enough.........
