| 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)

| Well I slept, using herbal sleep aids though, not my choice but it was turning into a nightmare for my training, so I just have to do it, felt so much better. NO golf today, but did go for a small motorbike ride Not, it was an hour and half long, and really didnt know were the time went. Plan was 12 miles maybe 13, ended up doing 16.5 miles, OOOPs, but clearer head for it, I sometimes do this when Im stressed just go out and run run run!, ONly thing is I didnt plan to run this long, so no carb loading last night, and no preparation food wise, just carried water in my back pack as it was a hot one today... I think on mile 14 I was into the fat burning mode, glycogen depletion as I didnt have any gels on me either, I was hurting oh I wasnt planning on this so I wasnt prepared mentally but I got through it... so My 1st long run test eh!
Thanks for the replies on my question yesterday about carbo loading and running on empty to hit the wall, its great to hear your ideas and thoughts so any one else wanting to comment on the running long runs on no carbs etc, and just water would be great... I did it today and survived the wall.. Time 2hrs 4 mins. splits, well did 14 miles at an average speed of 7.45mins, then it was wall time so the last 2.5 miles average 8.28 mins OUCH.... Happy Days :) |

6 am me, yes again, cant believe I am doing this, but did it again. Xtrainer 20 mins level 5 stretches Good training in the gym this morning if I was gonna race in Arizona or something; a gym that does not put on air con in the morning but seems like its heated arrrhhh..... 9.36 miles treadmill, 1% incline. 2.8 miles easy pace 8 min miles (7.5mph) 3.56 miles threshold pace 6.28 min pace (9.25mph) 0.5 mile VO2 max pace 6.00 min pace (10mph) 0.5 miles easy pace 8 min mile (7.5 mph) 0.62 miles (1km) @ 6.00 min pace (10mph) 1.38 miles jogging warm down 8min mile pace Okay funny miles but the treadmill is in KM and KMH, so I have to convert to Miles. xtrainer for 10 mins..... Oh this was hard for me today, last time I did this was 1.5 weeks ago and it was in the afternoon with air con, still I stuck it out, and got through it. Again only 6.5 hrs sleep tried to go to bed early just didnt work, as everyone in the house was shouting and cheering a footy match on, so I went and watched it, then couldnt sleep anyway till about 11.30pm.. I am looking forward to going back to my routine next week of strength training in the morning and runs in the afternoon.... and more sleep.. Rest of the day....walked for 3-4 miles around a 9 hole golf course, with my son, I won again not really, we drew exactly the same score and I actually played much better too...then we went on a 6.5 mile bike ride through trails and some road, nice afternoon sun out and hardly a breeze. Anyways a very knackered but happy bunny today.

| Wow early morning this morning again and what a beautiful morning it was, 5.5miles easy. 30 mins xtrainer level 6 5.5 miles sluggish slow 8.30 pace, this was hard, I was going to go longer but kept it short my legs were heavy must have been the tempo session. I saw a fox and a bunny rabbit this morning, and I listened to U2 beautiful day, I was singing along to it all the way round, cos it's such a beautiful morning, maybe thats why I was so sluggish LOL. Rabbit I call it burt DUDE. 20 mins xtrainer level 5.
work then Golf again on a 9 hole course with my son and his friend, I won by 1 point, so hes getting better and so was I too, its a 3 par course so 27 points, I got mine down to 35, I was made up with that as I have never had a lesson, well my dad told me a few pointers twice and he used to be pro! But I cant do more than 9 holes as its so slow I get bored.... A couple of miles slow walking.... Happy Bunny on a beautiful day :-)
