Today’s run was about building up my long runs…. Last week it was 30 minutes and my average pace was 12:38 min/mile. Tonight I pushed myself way too hard…. I started running at a speed of 5.5mph. Why you may ask yourself why? That is the same question that I have asked myself. The reason […]
Another Easy 30 minutes relaxed run…. I am supposed to keep the pace really relaxed and try to think about breathing consistently throughout.. It says if you ned to walk some of it… there is no shame in that. I think I shall remember this later on when the training gets tougher and longer but
I was supposed to do this session yesterday but I decided to change the days around as I was worried that it would have been too much after playing padel for 1.5 hours and then having to drive home to Kent for the annual Panto campout! The first exercise… I really really struggled with….It is
I wasn’t going to start my official marathon training until after Christmas but I have changed my mind!! I know it will be tough and I was worried that I would over do it if I started training to soon but I am also a little bit worried if I do not start soon I
Today is my first run since I was nearly eaten alive by the escalator at London Bridge. To be honest, I am not 100% sure if it is too early to go for a run as I still have a bit of swelling behind my knee and my back and side still ache a little.
Well I lost my squash match as I anticipated but it was great fun nonetheless. It is nice to lose to such a talented young player who plays the game with a great personality and kindness. Esther has a very very promising future ahead of herself. I then head to the gym for my run….
I have set myself a goal of running 10k on 15th December 2024, therefore this week I am following a training plan. Today’s plan is Zone 4 Fast Finish Run! It’s not as bad as I originally thought it would be.. 5 minutes in Zone 115 minutes in Zone 25 minutes Critical Velocity. (Zone 4-5)25
Tonight’s session was 6 x 1 minute on/ 1 minute off. I re-set my training the other day as I stopped running for a bit as I was focusing on playing padel… not though it made much difference to the results… But at least we had loads of fun along the way. The pace tonight
8 x 1 minute on/ 1 minute off. The aim of this run is to push myself for 1 minute intervals and to work at a harder effort. To start with it is the normal 10 minute Warm-Up at a 4.2mph then we are off…. Increase the pace to 5.9mph. EEKKK I hope my legs
Today’s run was quite challenging as I have to run at a faster pace than my usual plod along but it is only for 4 minutes and then I get a two minute recovery pace. …….And we are off to a nice little start with a 10 minutes Warm-Up. This is a great time to
Well…. yesterday I was supposed to run 45 minutes and today I was supposed to run 35 minutes Easy. Not sure why but I thought the plan today was 25 minutes Easy! I finally head out of the door and go for a run outside rather than running on the treadmill. It took me forever
OMG…. super excited my new CheerUpCharlie running tops have arrived. I actually cannot wait to do my run today just so that I can show the world them! I may regret saying that when it actual comes to doing my run or more to the point during it! The Tokyo training run is another interval
Today it is all about building the strength in my legs….. I certainly notice the difference in my legs. I know we should be kind about our bodies but sometimes it does make me wonder how on earth I can do some of the sports that I play when I struggle to do a split
I was supposed to run on Saturday but I went to the beach instead…. Mind you my original plan was to run along the beach but by the time I got there, I just didn’t fancy running so I didn’t!! Today… I started the day with an awesome game of Padel…. it is great to
Today’s plan is to run at a faster pace for 2 minutes with 2 minutes recovery. They say….. ensure you pace yourself well in the early reps to ensure you are still feeling strong at the end of the session. These hard runs may be hard, but you will thank yourself on race day for
Today’s training session is ‘Easy 25 minute relaxed run’… Keep the pace really relaxed, try and think about breathing consistently throughout. Enjoy it! During this session I have to run at a 12.57 min/mile pace which is 4.6mph. Although this pace is supposed to be easy… I somewhat struggle or at least I think I
