Thursday 26th - 3.24m in 0:30.31 @ avg pace 9.25/165 avg HB - MAx HR 198:eek:

Decided to go up Chesterfield Ave today trying to beat the wind at its own game...no such luck. Very cold and windy again today until i turned on North road and then is was lovely, warm & sunny

m1=9.30/169
m2=9.27/170
m3=9.21/167
m.24=9.10/168

i just looked at the details of my run and see that my Max HR was up at 198

...i have no idea why as i wasn't going too fast and this is the rate it would be at when i am racing...maybe the battery is going or else my body is trying to tell me something!!!!

I'm having this problem on recovery runs, there isn't enough sweat in cold weather and at slower speeds for the contacts to make a good connection, I've given up remoistening them:o.

Treadmill run today..couldn't get out so decided i'd hop up on treadmill and see how it went...was pretty boring except when at 60mins the threadmill just stopped...obviously a default 60min stop...just shows i have the threadmill about 4 yr and never went any more than 5m on it:eek:

Legs were a bit sluggish today, had a stomach bug yesterday and didn't get out so think today was just lack of sleep affecting me, head wasn't in the run either so pace felt all over the place.
Todays run was suppose to be a 1m easy followed by 30min@MP, 1 m easy but it went like this:(

m1=10.40/149

Saturday 4th - 6.4m - 4m @avg 9.52/166HB , 6 x hill, (1.6m) .83 cooldown @10.27/172

4m @avg 9.52/166HB, then reset the watch and started the hills,
i wasn't sure what pace these were meant to be done at so i just did what i was able for:
1. - .16mile @9.06/172= 1.24 mins
2. - .15mile @8.50/172 = 1.16mins
3. - .13mile @8.35/172 = 1.07mins
4. - .13mile @8.05/172 = 1.03mins
5. - .13mile @8.44/172 = 1.06mins
6 - .12mile @8.37/171 = 1.04mins
cooldown of .83m@ 10.27/172
hills and Cool down was 2.4 m... so Total 6.4m

i decided not to do the full 8 hill reps as i wasn't sure what impact the 4m at the start would have on me BUT i Enjoyed the hills:eek:

Sunday 5th -8m @10.37/161 enjoyed this as it was nice and relaxed!!

Tuesday 7th - 3.7m @avg 10.00/157HB

I had the Garmin to Other Sport so no splits for this one. It was on hilly course at home, (soon i will try to do the garmin links) so happy enough with the pace, i tried to keep it comfortable....
My back was tight/stiff for this one and i'd say it was a combination of the hill reps on Sat, and 4m walk on Monday on same hills

Wednesday 8th - 4.30m @ 9.38/163
Plan 1m warm-up, 20mins @ HMP, 1 mile cool down

back better today, but took till mile 3 to settle into this, the first mile felt very fast & unsettled, but then relaxed into it and enjoyed the rest of the run.....

didn't realise at the time how fast i was doing them, but when i nearly got sick on no 7 i realised it :eek:... did no 8 just to finish out the session::D

Tuesday 14th February - Happy Valentines to all 4m in 36.30 @9.08/162
Went out to do this and decided not to look at the Garmin, just go with the flow!!! And i have to say i really enjoy it, legs were fresh and i felt like i was gliding along!!! missing the long run on Sunday obviously helped!!!;)

Nules, I'm not really sure....PB for half is 1:57:XX so would love 1:55 with a long term goal of 1:50, but don't want to worry about that at the min...i'm not getting out for all my runs at the min and i'm hoping that won't impact on the half, but to be honest i will just go with the flow on the day...i,m not overly worried abou tthe time, just want to get a good run in in the Home County!!!

I hope you get your sub 2 and with all the great training you're doing it should be fine on the day!!

Younganne · 17-02-2012 9:51pm

Thursday 16th Feb - 3.12m in 29.11@ 9.22/167 followed by 6 x 400m reps

The run was fine, i did a new route that was hilly for the 1st mile, and then ok...legs felt fine...had to slow down for the last half mile as the dog was lagging behind...she's getting old and doesn't like running on the main road so back to the back roads for us!!!

the 6 reps were as follows:
.26m @ 7.35 = 1:58.07
.29m @ 7.44 = 2:14:43
.28m @ 8.04 = 2:17:50
.21m @ 7.16 = 1:31:05
.25m @ 6.36 = 1:38:68
.15m @ 8.01 = 1:09:85
I was at home for this session so Im afraid the reps were all over the place...i put the garmin on to KM so that i could get the 400m and did the first 3 as 2 laps aroung the house and garden, but the kids and dog were following me and i felt like i wasn't in control of the run so headed out on the road for the next one, ended up running uphill and running out of hard shoulder, next one was down a long inclinel( hence 6.36 pace) and the i just walked and ran the last one up the end of the incline and decide to call it quits . Next time i will have a better structure in the session...i think it will have to be the Polo ground next time!!!:rolleyes:

Anne i have no doubt you will get a PB on the day. I honestly don't know about sub2 for me. I definitely think i train better than i race... i just give up when the going gets tough :rolleyes:

Saturday 18th -12.13m in 2:04:42 @10.17/168
Had to change my LSR to Saturday as family event to attend and it was the first time i had company for my LSR and it was great to be able to run at proper pace and chat...we had rain, sun, wind, hail and snow during the run but it was very enjoyable, i did the first mile and the last 2 miles on my own
Splits: 9:41/161, 10.28/160, 10.30/162, 10.22/165, 10.26/166, 10.24/169, 10.19/171, 10.09/171, 10.20/171, 10.30/171, 10.11/176, 10.05/174, 10.00/170

The heart rate seems a tad high for an easy run and this was a relaxed, comfortable run...only thing that might have affected it was bad nights sleep and a few bottles of beer....

Younganne · 19-02-2012 9:41pm

Sunday 19th - 5.1m in 50:23 @ 9.53/159
Went out for easy run and did the five mile, felt nice and relaxed but should have been a bit slower (i think)...not sure what paces i should be running at at the min and i feel the reps, and hills and the variety in training at the minute is giving me a better base pace, but will just have to keeping going by feel at the minute till i get a race in to see if there is an improvement...2 weeks to spring Half so heres hoping to beat current PB of 1.57

10.13/153, 9.47/159, 9.47/160, 9.47/162, 9.53/162, 9.28/181(uphill)

Wednesday 22nd - 4.5 m in 41:47 @ 9:17/167 with 4 x 600 reps

m1=9.26/158
4 x 600m Reps
1. .39mile @8.34/176 = 3:19mins with .15mile in 1:40min @10:48/170 recovery
2. .39mile @8.32/180 = 3.17mins with .21mile in 2:15min @ 10.49/167 recovery
3. .39mile @8.02/176 = 3.09mins with .16mile in 1:46min @11.11/162 recovery
4. .38mile @7.51/176 = 3.00mins with .15mile in 1:29min @ 9.54/172 recovery
Cool down: 1.26mile = 9.41/164

Found the second 2 reps easier than the first two and might have had something to do with the headwind i was running into. Happy enough with this run, couldn't have done the first two any faster as i was still warming up...i reckon.

Friday 24th - 5.7 m in 56:42 @9.57/160 with 6 x Hill Reps

headed for the Kyber for this and did the hills on the road, don't know if this was meant to be on the road or if i was meant to be running up the "big Hill" beside the road, but figured i wouldn't get a minute of the grassy hills so stayed on the road!!!:eek::o

I was happy with this and the run was fine until the cool down and legs were screaming in protest but i had to get back to work so plodded along....:(

Times look like this:

m1=9.11/159 m2=9.16/157

6 x Hill Reps
1 =.18mile @7.26/172 = 0:01:18 with .17m in 2.02mins @11.51/157 recovery
2= .16mile@7.05/175 = 0:01:08 with .17m in 2.00@ 11.42/160 recovery

3=.16m @7.33/177 in 00:01:13 with .17m in 02.03 @ 12.21/162 recovery
4 = .16m @7:43/176 in 1:15 with .17m in 02:02 @10:02/164 recovery

5=.16m @7.25/179 = 1:12 with .17m in 2:05 @ 12.12/163 recovery
6= .17m @7.26/177 in 0:01.13 with 1:37min recovery @16.20/168
