Bloody Sunday

Just to let you all know that after sunday's epic run, when I fell about 5miles into it my knee is BLOODY SORE!!!
Thanks to all who were concerned about me, just to let you know it looked just as bad after my shower, but not so bad after a wee glass of wine! Today it is very tight, I also have a cut hand and a huge bruise on my arm (god knows how, wish I had seen me fall, will have to ask Andy)
Anyway, legs a bit stiff today, but have to say I did enjoy y'day,though did struggle to stay awake after 9.
Good to have Karen, Catherine and Sandra's company till Rowerdennan, hope they enjoyed the return journey. Andy turned back before them (hope your knee is getting better) . Whilst JR Brian Christine and myself braved it to the Drovers.
Good to have a banter with fellow team mates in the Drovers to finish of the day

New Sunday Arrangements

Team Schedule - 1st Milestone

Well done, without as much as a whimper, you have completed the 12 week BASE of the 32 week schedule and now would be a good time to reaquaint yourself with the team schedule & goals (gaols) evaluate progress & take a look forward to the next phase, 10 weeks of STRENGTH TRAINING, woop de doo, haud me back, etc etc, what does this involve?

Saturday's "3 race route" trudge was a good introduction to the type of long run workout which will help come race time.

Time on your feet becomes more important than miles, long runs done as offroad walk/runs with some back to back (B2B), Sat/Sun, so that you get used to running on tired legs. You should have sufficient recovery overnight so that you can run long again the next day & also continue the rest of the weeks schedule.

Mini goals updated to include a "Highland Fling" length B2B in March.

You should be looking ahead to ensure the progressive increase in weekday runs, Steady, Rep & recovery Sessions are managed taking account of the usual life work Zulus!

Roon the Vale Sat 17th Jan

Map and profile of today's run round the Vale...

training programme change

as the WHW training run has been brought forward a week ,will week 13 now replace week 12

Tonights Run

Made it 8.6 miles on G Map.
That would make an average of about 9 minute miles, given the easy start I think that would be right even though it probably felt much faster on tired legs!!!

Mileage

Thursdays training run a bit short, being 6.35miles on G Map
You'll have to do a bit more on Sunday!
Sorry, but my week finishes on Saturday so I'll run my bit extra in the morning before heading to Strachur and I'll watch you do yours at Ardgartan.

Training run

fellow team members are invited to join steph and I on a 10k training run over 5 hills on sat 14th feb, look to training programme for details, hope you can all take part.

goals

1st n 2nd goal achieved, appropriate rest and recovery has set me up for goal no3, some team members have fallen behind schedule (do not see many ticked boxes) happy training .

I am in,ithink
