speed!

Got a couple of sessions done today. Starting to feel I've got rid of that virus.
First up was about 10am in the gym. Did 1km run, 2km bike, 1km row & repeated that 3 times. Then did some weights

About 5:30pm I ran down to Duffy's oval where we did 10x300m 1:02, 59, 57, 55, 53, 1:01, 57, 56, 59, 56. I then ran home via Terrigal beach & went for a swim.
Happy that the hamstring pulled up good. Will have to wait & see until tomorrow if it's got any worse

the hardest long run in awhile!

OMG! What a struggle that was today! Ran out at Palmdale to the intersection & back. It's about 20km but I was just stuffed! No energy & found myself stopping about 6 or 7 times just to get myself back together. Saw Baz out there on my way back...Anyway except for the battle I was still happy with it. It took a little over 2hrs
I need to get use to running in the heat & humidity again

Brooks hill time trial

Muggy muggy morning! I had no intentions of racing this today. Good news for me is that I felt much better than yesterday. Just ran a steady pace starting at the back. Not sure what time I did as I ran without a watch. I think I heard 48min.
Still no matter how slow you go it's still hard. Felt quite sick when I finished...lack of energy too

Boxing day struggle!

Hit with a virus.....well on the tail end of it from last week. After my run on Sunday...you know the massive 17k long run that felt like 30k....well after that run I done hardly anything. Felt like crap & just too tired to get out there. That and aches & pain don't help either.
Anyway got out for a 50min run yesterday. Thought that was good of me & it was xmas morning.
Today I felt okish when I got up so I put on the shoes & ran a slowish 11.5k. I'm still looking for my fitness.....reckon it's on holidays...hahaha. It was muggy out there...so humid! I put myself on the scales before I left & when I got back I was 1.2kg lighter!!

getting there!

I was out running about 6:50ish. Injury was good but feeling quite sore from the virus I've picked up. It makes the muscles tired & sore & gives you a sore throat. Still went easy & ran from home to the old waterslide & back.
Just a bit over 17.5km....felt like 30k though!

another pain free run....well kind of

Trotters again. This time Erina bush run. About 13k. Quite hilly this one. We go along the base of Kincumber mtn. Injury was good....just felt tight. Has loosened up as the days gone on.
Tomorrow I reckon I'll do that long run. How longs a long run now? Back a couple of months ago it would've been 30k plus. But now 20k would be it....but we will see tomorrow!

no blogging, not much running but by no means lazy!

Stupid injuries is all I can say! I have no motivation to blog on when injuries attack me!
Well I'll give it a shot here!
I've been giving the running a massive break over the past 7 weeks. I've run a couple of trotters & also got a 50min 10k in there...hahaha!
Really though I managed to finally run without much pain last week:) They were on the t'mill...but still a good sign. This week I've pushed it a little more.
Monday just a cycle class
Tues am another cycle class
Had a crack at the 3000m handicap on Tuesday night. I had 11min as my time. I ended up running 10:55. Slow but still happy with it. By no means could go any faster! I fell to the ground when I finished...but the good news is my injury was great!
Wednesday I got a cycle class in then later tried 6@6. Now again slow....24:50 but still no pain!
Thursday had no pain just tired legs from the running...so I did a cycle class
Friday...well managed to run around 9k. Hamstring just felt weak & tight. No pain but was scared to go any faster. Feel it still needs that rest.
I'm going to do cycle again tonight then trotters tomorrow.
Most likley no running Sunday...but we will see:)
