| 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
Dublin Marathon Oct 08 3hrs.01mins.13 undulating and 1 toilet stuck/stop (LOL)
Bath Half 2007 1.26.35 hrs Wilmslow half marathon english champs 1.25.39 18th lady (With piriformis injury ). Liverpool 10k 2008 Oct 37.42mins midst marathon training Wirral 5k 2009 17.41mins off the back off marathon week Track 3000ms 10.45mins hmmm I ran this to get points for my club so I just did tactical and ran on 1st lady shoulder and sprinted at the end !
As a youngster County Champion for Xcountry and High Jump and 1500ms track. pbs aged 13 yrs old 800ms 2mins 16secs 1500ms 4mins 48 secs high jump 1metre 53 (cant do this now) and I never trained for it as a kid, just competed alot for points for my club, usually spend 2 hours highjumping, and skip off to do an 800 or 1500ms race then go back to high jump, Wish I took the running more seriously!

| 6 easy miles yay! real easy, took my husky along Simba, he pulls for the 1st mile then he trots by myside as long as I stay at 8min mile pace, if I go faster hes not impressed as he isnt very fit anymore! Although If I let him off his lead he would run round like mad. 46 mins 6 miles, mainly off road and woodland trails then I have to return down a coast road and by-pass but thats ok as it was windy (lovely). still not much sleep |

7 miles, 53 mins. Again not much sleep, so its the nitol tonight I am afraid as I really just need to sleep. Did my other route for a change, ( fishermans path, left through sanddunes, to car park, then again woodlands paths to other car park, up road, then bushbys/ravenmeols/Liverpool rd/church rd then home). so took it easy first 3 miles, then last 4 miles, marathon pace! sometimes slightly faster....... Good Day, today, my son did a 3k race, and got a pb by 4 mins, from last year, so hes made up. then Watched my brother do a 15k race which I usually do, but havent done for 2 years I always seem to be recovering or injured!

| Okay, I still didnt sleep! well rubbish weather cold and wet but thats the uk for you, how miserable. xtrainer 15 mins level 6. run route, linked two different runs in; hoggs,path barracks, end turn right to other path along barracks, over h/town sand dunes, to iron men, then through blundellsands, but cut through on the path to go straight through to Little crosby, then again straight through wrights path inbetween fields, to ince blundell, onto by-pass and back. 9.5 miles in total took me 1h 16 mins, the weather seemed to effect me every way I went the wind was either in my face or in my face arrgghhh, a tough run, the longest yes in my build back to fitness and I think the hard run I did yesterday because I was frustrated has effected me I feel tired. didnt have time for xtrainer to warm down, I had to get to school, I help run a running club for the kids at school which is an after school club. I left my garmin running for when we ran around the field, and played games, did a total of 1 mile! Im feeling slightly fed up today, not a good day for me! but at least i have been able to run. |

Okay 4 hours of broken sleep is crap, I tell you I am just you got it Knackered today! fed up and Im not hungry which is totally not me, normally I could eat for Britain and If I didnt run Id be 18 stone at least! Decided today too, I need to lose about 7lbs at least for Berlin marathon, need to get back down to reasonable race weight, gonna weigh in on Friday might publish it, if its not too bad, then again I had McDonalds on Saturday which I never eat in that place what was I thinking?? Actually got up early enough to do the vibrogym this morning, so that was Press up's OOHHH, bridge one legged did both legs, crunches, side plank, step ups, squats and stretch massage to finnish. Rain Rain and more Rain, I might be a wimp today and stay on the treadmill, with me runner geek pulled up socks, got to do 6 easy miles, maybe I will hit the woods instead.. Spoke to my Coach Reg this morning, hes made up with the 9.5 miler but not with the fast hard session I did, OOOps me's in trouble again, LOL. So the course of training is easy 5-6 milers every other day and 9.5-10 miles again on the other days all easy pace (fingers crossed I keep to that!)....... actual training, this afternoon gym work 25mins xtrainer hard, level 8 10 mins step ups 2 min rest 10 mins step ups hard. 25 mins xtrainer good effort level 6 Ran in the evening, My son has a summer league hes doing for the new team 11 aside football, so I ran there, whilst Paul (h'band) drove with Dylan. I thought itd be about 6miles, funny it was 7.8 miles 52 mins, very windy but no rain! wind was pretty much headwind all the way, except for occasional shelter from the trees. All in all an okay somewhat no so easy run, but was supposed to be.

not much sleep but still got up early enough for the ;
vibrobgym, press ups, bridge one legged, crunches, side plank, step ups and squats. had to pick my bike up, so 1.10 mins bike ride, which made me very tired, but went straight to them gym. 15 mins xtrainer level 7 9 miles I ay easy, it was easy pace but into a head wind, when I was out of the wind I noticed the pace was alot quicker 7-7.30 pace! 9 miles 1hr 2 mins. 15 mins xtrainer warm down. To add, still not very hungry, I am only just consuming 1500cals, and having to supplement with protein shakes and stuff, which is making me feel sick! I think its the overtiredness thats doing this, well hoping!
