Thanks for the feedback. She did it (tried it) because she has been working through that plan, and it's on the plan.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Prince of Fatness
I'm starting to like these fartleks. I'm really trying to wing these things and get some good variety in the pacing. I just pick an object and run to it, then run easy until I feel like picking it up again. I've been finishing these with a few shorter quicker bursts. No tingling in the leg this time, either.
Not at it at all.
I had a good workout today. 6 x Mile repeats...aiming at 6:40s...
6:39, 6:40, 6:37, 6:39, 6:40, 6:38
Next week I gotta do 4 x 1.5 at 6:40...
I like informal fartleks with picking objects on the fly, too.
Biggest training week ever... 170 miles biking, 32.6 miles running, 4 miles swimming.
For the last 8 days, 270 miles biking, 37.3 miles running, 4 miles swimming. And I did my first "Trainer Century".
Nice work Tony (although you might have to explain a trainer century?)
I had a big running week last week - basically matching my biggest week ever, and certainly biggest in the last year. Starting the buildup for New York (yes we're now definitely going!!) 8 weeks left.
Trainer century = 100 miles on a bike trainer
Well thats stupid. Nice work Tony except that bit!!!

Rollers or rear wheel brace? Either way that's ballsy. Well done.

So I guess I can say I had a good workout yesterday. Ran XC for 6 miles (8:30s) and didn't think much of it until I got up today and felt some soreness in the muscles. Now that's a good feeling.
Can't wait to do it again.
Feeling the growl again

In the spirit of you trying out something different, I gave it a go at a longer fartlek effort last night. Turned out to be pretty decent. Did the recommended Spaniel effort of 10/8/6/4/2 with 1/2 recovery. ON pace was 5:35-5:40 and OFF was around a 7-7:30. The OFF portion was slower than what he would do but oh well. It was still a good workout.
Almost made last week a really good week. Had 70 miles on 6 runs with 2 days off. Didn't plan to have the off days but that's the way life is sometimes. Trying to make this the last solid week before marathon taper. We see how things go.

Thanks Mandy! Good job to you too... New York should be fun!
