Saturday Morning 11 Miles
Have a busy day planned, so decided to get up nice and early to run this morning. It had rained hard overnight, and more torrential rain was forecast for later on today, so my best option was just to get up and go. I didn’t really have any major plans for how far to run, [...]
Steady 7 Mile Run
Nice easy run – the only aim being to keep my heart rate in a comfortable zone. More miles in the bank….
Easy 5 Mile Run
Llanelli Waterside 10k
Progressive 4 Mile Run
Not too much time to write a detailed report, but today’s run was a perfect pre-vacation (or really I should say pre-holiday) workout. Temperatures in the morning at this time of year are so much better than late afternoon when I typically run. My goal was to head out, run the first mile fairly easy [...]
Easy 4 Mile Run
Nice easy run with my daughter this evening. Not fast, not slow, just a nice easy pace which kept my heart rate down in the 130s. Each mile was slightly faster than the previous one, which is always a good way to run. Actually it was nice to save my energy for the 2nd workout [...]
Modified Key Run Workout #1
Too hot (over 90°F) to do any more than 2 x 800m and 2 x 400m repeats. One positive from the workout was my 800m times were slightly faster than last weeks repeats and my new Brooks ST3 racing flats felt great. 800m – 2:48800m – 2:46400m – 1:24400m – 1:22 Tonight was also the [...]
9 Mile Run In The Sun
Nice run in the Sunday afternoon sun. For the first 5 or 6 miles I purposely kept things easy and made sure I kept my heart rate under 150 beats per minute. On the last 3 miles home I pushed things a little allowing my heart rate to climb and my speed increase. Starting to [...]
The Quest for Strength Week 3
Tonight I’m pleased to say I completed Week 3 of my push up plan. I must admit it was pretty tough and I’m glad I have 2 days off before I need to start the 4th week. The 5 Series tonight were 25, 19, 19, 17 and at least 22 to finish with 2 minutes [...]
Steady 8 Mile Run < 150bpm
It was nice to run easy tonight after two tough workouts from the FIRST Marathon Training Plan. The aim was to run 8 miles and keep my heart rate under 150 beats per minute and not worry about speed or pace for a change. The cooler weather (approx. 67°F) and slight breeze made for a [...]
