Greetings from the turd's bath. I'm currently steeping my legs and toasting my balls. I'll have sweaty turd balls shortly. Seen as I've nothing better to do .......
Thursday: 9ish miles with 4 x 1 mile reps with 3 minute recovery. Ran these with the social media outcast that is the athlete formerly known as Drquirky. Just a gentle reintroduction to a bit of a session for us both. We weren't expecting much and we weren't disappointed
Ran these along the conyngham road outside the phoenix park. Going towards Donore you have a very very slight incline and the wind in your face while coming back towards islandbridge is handy. Splits were 5.36,5.37,5.41 (lost concentration) and 5.21. Nothing to write home about but they did feel easy enough. Hope to increase rep number, bring down average time then start to reduce recovery over the next few weeks. It's a start!
Now, if anyone wants a picture of my salty balls send me a PM and I'll oblige.0 -

106 days to London marathon
Friday: 10 miles @ 7.05 pace. Handy enough run in poxy enough conditions. Rained pretty hard and wind also reared it's ugly mush. Managed to lose two more nipples. Need to get myself some bodyglide until the moobs decrease in size a bit

100 Days to London marathon
It's a Thursday, it's cold outside. So to help warm the cockles of your heart I bring you Tales of the Turd's Training live from the Tub #TTTT. That's right folks, live from my hot bath again!
Monday: 9 miles at 7.09 mile pace. Was still feeling crap in the AM so decided I'd probably have to take another day off. However as the day wore on I started to feel much better. I had instigated an orange alert regards man flu and it seems to have been successful. I'm a pro at managing this deadly disease at this stage. I refuse to do anything in the house and take to the bed. It definitely worked and I'm still alive to tell the tale! The mrs commented, "can you imagine if I got man flu". I pointed out that women don't get man flu, they just die! Anyway, this was a late run after 9pm and it was freezing. Balls weren't hot and salty that night I can tell you!!!
Tuesday: 12 miles @ 6.50 pace. Man flu antigen obviously still circulating the system and wasn't 100%. Instead of flogging myself on a tempo I decided to shift things about and did a medium long run instead. Worked out perfectly. Was fecking freezing again. Did this along the canal bank.
Wednesday: 7 miles @ 7.15 pace. Freezing again and this run ended up been too fast. Was running with a couple of others and I let them dictate the pace. Should have headed out on my own and took it a bit handier as was supposed to be a recovery. Didn't really bother me at the time but half an hour after the run I had a pinching pain in the shin/calf. Head was wrecked but thankfully I instigated a code orange on the shin splint front and stretches have since sorted it.
Thursday: 10 miles total with 5 * 1 mile. Freezing again and the bloody wind made this a tough one. Was going to reschedule it for lunch time when it seemed a little calmer. However, I'm trying to get a routine going so decided to stick with the Thursday evening slot and take my chances with the wind. Did this along the Conyngham road again. Mile reps were 5.30-5.55-5.27-5.55-5.16. You can guess which were wind assisted and which were into the headwind. Did these with the social media outcast and was delighted with the company. Still nothing to write home about but it's a slow building process
Had my weekly weigh in this morning and that is going in the right direction. Diet is good and niggles seem to be under control. A1 Sharon, A10 -

Hate to say this but #TTTT has a certain ring to it - bedtime stories anyone ? (and on a Thursday too
What stretches to you do for your shins - got a bit of a niggle today (stepped things up in the last while in fear of the forest run ) don 't think it quite warrants a code yellow yet but might need a bit of tlc0 -

Ha ha yes I took my inspiration from that
Regards the shin pain. In my case it's usually always tight calfs so I do the usual stretches for those.
However, the best stretch for me involves me getting on my knees (oh behave) and sitting on my heels. It's a great stretch and stretches all the way into the foot where it is very hard to normally reach.
Get on top of that ASAP because shin splints are shocking. Usually inflamed fascia etc so rest can really help. Better taking a day or two off before it becomes a major issue. Because once the fascia (in my case) gets badly inflamed it takes ages to sort itself.0 -

Ffs, between your salty balls & images of you on your knees you are quite disturbing tonight ! Hope the shin is just a small niggle - was fine on my run to work this morning but a bit niggly when I was walking around at lunchtime (having been sitting at the desk all morning) so decided not to run home. Think I'll stick with the bike tomorrow and do the stretches - might even get on my knees
Thanks 0 -
97 Days to London marathon
Friday: 7 miles @ 7.30 pace along the canal. Legs felt very good starting out but half way through I could feel a little tiredness in them. Obviously mile reps are taking something out of me. Nice run enjoyable anyway
Saturday: 18 miles @ 7.02 pace. Holy fcuk, this was not pleasant. 8am start, it was very cold and a little icy (safe for running though). Foolishly I hadn't planned a route out in my head beforehand and basically made it up as I went along. This is fine usually, but on a day where I'm not feeling the love it can be counterproductive as I'll cut the run short etc. Anyway first 10 miles were grand, I more or less hand a slight wind at my back. Ran by TBB's housing estate and gave him the two fingers. Ran down to the sister's grass track and ran a 7 minute mile on it, the fastest mile run on it this year. Then headed back through Tymon park and along the Luas lines to my house. Last 8 miles into a head slight wind. Wind wasn't so bad but combined with the cold air I found it tough. I wouldn't mind I was dressed up like a feckin' eskimo. Had to cross to the opposite side of the road from the Luas stops to make sure I didn't jump on and get a lift home Hit 17 miles outside the house and then had to do a poxy mile around the housing estate. Overall the legs were fine but it was tough mentally. Moan over
Sunday: 7 miles @ 7.07 pace. Bit pushed for time this morning so a little faster than it should have been. Legs feeling good after long run yesterday. Finished off run with some strides and struts.
~70 miles for the week. Decent week overall and hopefully I can build on this the next few weeks.0 -

What'll your peak mileage be in this cycle and are you doing anything 'specific' to maintain injury free status and make the start line??
Not sure about "peak". As much as the body can take is the simple answer. I suppose 80-90 would be the target but might go higher or lower depending on how things progress.
Regards injury prevention I'm doing a couple of common sense things. Avoiding alcohol. Getting regular massage. I have a nightly stretch routine for dodgy muscle groups. I've also purchased a cindy Crawford yoga dvd and I'll be watching this nightly. Won't be doing the yoga mind you 0 -

LOL. I'd say you did actually give the fingers. If i'd known i'd have stood outside, supping coffee and eating pizza as you went by.
Then I remembered that I ran 24 at faster than 7:02 yesterday.:)
Keep up dave.0 -

And yes I did give the two fingers!0 -

What have I told you two about mile reps near down in the furry glen :rolleyes:

I haven't ruled out guest bath tub cameos but they are most likely to be female.0 -

Really ?? - that's not what you said last week. For the record - was only looking for evidence that you managed to get a female companion into the bath with you After what you sent me last week I have no interest in seeing anything else 0 -
