    4 runs in the last 5 days.

    4 mile tempo (around 7:30 pace)
    9 miles around 8:40 pace
    4 hours long run including 2000ft of hill reps
    And 950ft gain in a 1.5 mile treadmill run

    🥵Happy place

    A month of training left and Wales will still kick my ass

    Wow! You continually amaze me. You are going to crush this run. 
    I think it is without doubt going to crush me 😂 but I'm up for it and I'll be a prepared as I can be (coming from a totally flat part of the country)

    Also went 5.  Calf is tender but held up.  Another week of going easy.  Hoping the week after I can start running hard again.

    Thanks!  I was more talking about the speed but I probably would like to be closer to 10 on Saturdays right now.

    How is everyone doing? Today I finally hit one of my goals of running 5 miles in under 50 minutes. I usually finish closer to 51 minutes. Today I did it in 49 minutes. I know that is really slow compared to you competitive runners. But it is a personal best for me. Yay!!

    @GlowGirl that's amazing! And definitely something to feel proud about, 👏👏
  • beano.79beano.79 Posts: 765
    I did my midweek tempo runs and treadmill uphill runs. Today I did 22 miles with close to 3000ft of hill reps, 9 miles tomorrow to finish the week.

    Next week is a low mileage week and I think I'll have the weekend off from running before a big final 2 weeks of the training block

    That sounds great!  How do you feel?


    Went 6 today,  was intended to be the last of my easy week.  Looking forward to trying intervals this week and seeing how the calf holds up.

    @GlowGirl I'm quite nervous about it tbh. I've never encounted this much elevation gain in a single race before and I don't have anything like a mountain close by to train on, but I've definitely done what I can.

    I feel ok but tired, I'm very aware of my limitations though, so when I'm doing a tough training block I always plan in a low mileage week every 3 or 4 weeks to recover and keep fresh.

    How does the calf feel at the moment?

    Smart and experienced!

    Calf feels good now.  Still was tight at points but I found myself freaking and getting to normal strides as I got toward the end....that was a good sign.  We will see with the sprints!

    Took my daughter to junior park run this morning which I always trot around with her. And my legs were just not there 😂 so decided to rest today instead of taking on my 2md long run of the weekend. Wise decision I think given the training and racing I still have over the next few months

    She is enjoying it for now which is all I can ask. I try not to push her too hard 😂 it's 3km and she has a PB of 13:40 but hasn't really got near that again. She usually comes in just under 15 mins. She's still only 7 and I'm just pleased she has taken some interest.

    Treated myself to some new Hoka speedgoat 5 for next month's ultra marathons. Been eyeing them up for a while as I'm looking for a more cushioned trail shoe.

    Sub 10 min miles is always good thing. Congrats.

    Luckily you don't have deal with these temps....

    Yikes. Those are treadmill temps for me.

    Back at it today. A little over two weeks ago I got an epidural in my neck due to some disc herniation.  Did 4.1 miles of jog/fast walk today with little numbness in my hand.  It s been a long road to recovery; I was happy with today s results.  
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    Glad to hear it, hope things hold off.  My epidural lasted 30 days.  Felt like a new man.  (Was 27)  
    Keep working on it!

    Ran intervals for the first time in a long time.  (I think since tapering for the Half in November)
    Calf felt great.  First 1/4 mile was in 1m35s, felt awesome.  By my last 1/4, I was 20 seconds slower and almost ready to puke.
    It felt awesome.  👍

    Great job, SC. I am glad you are keeping it up.

    That's great, hope all stays well with your neck. 

    I have a follow up today about my osteoporosis (as a 45 yo male with no family history, makes no sense). Hopefully it's improved in the past year with the med they had me on. 

    I completed my longest run ever yesterday, almost 17 miles. This training block is going well, I am hopeful to get close to a 1:30 HM in April.

    Awesome
      How did you feel after the 17?
    What is the pace you are training at?

    Went 7.5 on Saturday,  which was longest this year as I build back up.  Funny to type that when a few years ago, 8 was my normal for a weekday.  :lol:     how things can change!  
    Want to get back to 10-15 mile long runs as normal.  
    Felt fine on Saturday...intended to go 7 but was buzzing along and had a route change which saw a little extra added on to get home and I figured it wasn't too much off plan.
    Was cold for the first part, though.  :)

    I felt good. My average pace was 7:43, with 2 17:30 HM tempo segments that averaged 6:53.

    I went a bit longer than intended as well, I was running on a path I hadn't run before and apparently took a wrong turn somewhere on the way back, I expected to get back to where I parked before my full time was up, but was a bit over half a mile away when my timer finished. 

    Temps have been getting better here lately, was a little cold yesterday at the beginning, but was 51 at the end. Had to shed layers during my room.

    You'll get back to 10-15 miles before you know it.
