Hey Guys
Okay a little background I am a 20yr old who heavily involved in my running.Ran fairly decent times as a juvenille in comparison to others of my age. In the last two or three years however my PBs have stalled despite major improvements in my training etc. The only PB i have broke in that time officially is my 5 mile at 27:41 (broke my PB for 5k in the process).
I had great intentions for my training this year as it my first year as a senior however struggled with shin splints for the best part of four months. Anyway finally back to consistant training in the hope of a good XC season. Anyway i thought a log might help me on the straight and narrow now that i back fit enough to tackle sessions and hopefully be a good read for others coming back from injury.
A quick catch up on this week to get started
Week 1
Day one: 8 miles easy
Day two: Rest
Day three: am 6 miles easy pm 3 miles easy
Day four: 8 miles easy

Good luck and looking forward to see progress.

One thing I like to see on blogs (maybe as I'm a stat freak) but can you post times of your "easy" runs etc - I'm always intrigued as to who finds what pace "easy". Thanks

Running Bing · 12-06-2009, 11:18

I reckon you're 10k time looks the best. (Though McMillan Calculator would probably put your 800 and 1500 times as the best.)

true that the time of the 10k equates to very fast but was alot of downhill parts to the course so i dont consider it to be as good as my five mile as i ran that on two seperate course Raheny and Sportsworld

Week One Day 5
Seeing as i had the day off work today i thought it was the perfect time to get back to doing core. Havent been keeping it up in a while which prob should have considering i was injured for so long this year.Anyway a good 40 min worth of core work ther at half two to give me a chance to chill before my run this evening. Heading with P3fitz will be good to get bit of company again as most of my runs the last few weeks have been solo. Was trying to avoid people till i was able to cover my hour runs comfortably

**ecoli** · 12-06-2009, 21:23

Week 1 Day 5
9 mile in 63
It been a pretty good week training so far at about mid thirty mile mark so far for the week with two runs still left to go. The legs felt a bit tired but this was prob a result of the late night due to watching the NCAAs and the morning core work session.The company was good to have and turns out guy i ran with coming back from injury too so was good to have someone in the same boat as me maybe work with fair bit over the next while. will prob take it very easy tomorrow as this weekend my first run over ten since i came back so dont wanna rush it too much

haha thanks for the concern but fair is fair now we training at more your field of expertise it only fair that you can make me suffer to get me back for the track sessions

Woddle · 12-06-2009, 21:48

Completely taking the pee, looking forward to running this route with you as you might drag me along a little quicker. On my lsr I tend to plod. Predicted overall pace approx 8 min. There is a couple of climbs aswell, nothing too serious.

sure take things handy at start and see how it goes. looking orward to the route from looking at your map seems like a pretty good loop. warn you though recently havent been a huge morning person so may take me lil bit to get the legs moving haha
