| 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

Did long run today, fully fuelled I might add, with gels and water... did a different route very very windy day today, and very warm. 20 miles, average pace 7.51mins, with two huge hills, I ran out 10 miles then ran back same the route. 2098 cals used. I will have to download the route later and see what the elevations are. great new run, really enjoyed it, had 2 gels on the way round, which is good, and similar time to my last weeks flat route so even better..... 2hrs 46mins. Happy days, now a really easy week :) Hey I did my usual 20 miler route, cycling yes CYCLING so I have covered 40 miles today on my little legs :) we cycled faster that I would have run it, and My son did it too so WELL DONE DYLAN. :-)))))

Had physio which was painful to say the least after a 90 mile week with good quality session's and a long run only yesterday with a long bike ride too, so I am really tired today, like really tired, like knackered, shattered yawn yawn, I am officially Mrs Sleepy today!

Sorry this has taken so long to type up, but had a hectic day yesterday, had a friends 40h bbq, then race then a wedding in the night..... Okay, I got there in plenty of time, bit tired after a long day, it was warm and humidity was high...... I didnt know anyone there which is unusual for me, so didnt know who to run with? the race started on a track, 400ms,then out through a small funnel, it was a very fast start very fast in deed and I went along with it, not realising how fast I was running till I hit the road 5 min pace, just before 1 mile I realised I was steaming along with another women and thought I need to slow the pace allot, I think I slowed too much about 6 min pace, I was actually struggling, 1st mile was 5.35 mins way too fast I was aiming for 5.45 and really it was last quarter I probably lost the 35 secs, so really I was running at 5 min pace for much too long. I died from here on which was a horrible feeling, I felt heavy my shoulders dropped legs heavy arms hurting on 1 mile is not good, I just tried to hang on in and on mile 2 you have to do a small uturn on a small pathway, which was awfull with lots of people going either way, and You virtually stop to turn round, well of course I was real tired and it took me ages to get going again. mile 2 6.15min oh dear and the last one was awful it was marathon pace 6.45 mins, and I felt proper sick at the end, I was not impressed, the lady I ran with at the start did an awesome 15.38 mins ouch no wonder I died. My slowest and crumiest 5k ever yes ever 18mins 58 secs, that is bad! and I am not impressed at all as it was all my own fault for going out so fast! 5k race Lancaster uk not a very impressive course afraid I wont be doing this one again!
