| Location: LIVERPOOL,UK Member Since: Sep 27, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Olympic Trials Qualifier Running Accomplishments: 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

Race day, and after such a big week for me, I was tired. 5k. 17.43
NEWS IN official results was 17.41 mins well happy now! It was in Athletics weekly, in the uk. :))
4th overall, men and women, and 1st lady. The weather was good, sunny cool, and a slight breeze. Started out at a good pace, felt Like I was holding back, although I usually go off at break neck speed in races, so It was a good pace, approx 5.45 pace. got to about 1k left and my legs started to feel heavy, so that was deffo from the week I have just done, and held the pace at 6mins just. Course, was along seafront, and some ups and downs, steps and even some soft sand! so made up with new pb. :-) Very happy bunny.

Any suggestions anyone, I am waiting on my coach's decision, should I do a long run wk end before half marathon, or should i start my tapering??? not sure if I should do a longer run this sunday or just do say 10m's thoughts anyone??? |

| 3.5 mile warm up session day, 0.5 mile reps, 8 lots effort, with 3 mins recovery. two sets of 4, with a 10min jog between sets. Again off road session sand, wood chip sand! and more sand, some grass. 1. 2.59 2. 3.00 3 3.00 4 2.59 10 min jog 1mile. 5 2.59 6 3.00 7 2.56 8 2.58 4 miles in total of efforts jogs in between about 0.5 miles. 3. mile run back on road Glorious day, kinda warm or me, but Im english so gotta complain bout the weather. No it was perfect weather for a nice easy run, not a session! Anyways, small breeze nothing too bad. I felt slugglish today, struggled through this session, I felt tired after my 3.5 mile warm up, then my legs were tired after my 1st set of 4 reps, going into my 2nd set I was dreading it, but just took each one at a time, and thought If I need to quit I can, really wanted to, but once I had got to 6 I just hammered myself and then jogged back the 3miles, feeling really tired now and hammy string very sorey so icing it, and stretching. News from the coach:: 10-12 mile easy run, on sunday, so thats good news for me, dont know if I could cope mentally with another long run, feeling slightly fed up not sure if its after my race last weekend, but I should be feeling great not so tired and dismal> :-}

| Went to Wilmslow, and recce the course of my half marathon English championships next Sunday. The weather was cool, and a good breeze at times windy. Couldnt do the whole course as some of the race is on really main roads. Did 11.7 miles last few 0.3 was jogging warm down. Went out really easy, after yesterdays fiasco on my easy run. 8 min pace, getting warmed up. the course is supposed to be flat and fast, although Id say undulating but reasonably fast. Went through 7 miles, averaging 7.40-8min pace. ramped up the pace for a few miles, 2 of miles at 6.45/7min pace, and last one 7.05 mins, then warmed down 8 min pace for remaining. So a decent run. 11.7 miles in 1hr 27 mins. I am happy with this as it was supposed to be really easy, and after yesterday didnt know if I would finnish the run. Glad I got the course straight in my head and I know what to expect, also it took ourselves approx 1hr to the start area of the race in the car, so the drive up wont be the usual frustrations of are we here yet! I can get pretty damned nervous the day of the race. Paul cycled with me around the course, and for the 8 min pace we were talking allot which was nice to have this time together. Burt I am still a happy Bunny :) |
