What? The gimp girl is starting the daily workout thread?<br><br>
I did 45 minutes of pool running this morning. The first 10 minutes were warm-up/trying to figure out the form. I think I got it down all right except maybe my legs still need a little tweaking.<br><br>
Next was 6 X 2-minute "track sprints"/2 min recovery. Immediately during the sprints my stomach started feeling sick from the flotation belt around my waist. I ended up changing to a life vest which was more cumbersome but didn't bother my stomach (this is also why I can't wear water belts on runs).<br><br>
Then I cooled down for 10 minutes with easy running.<br><br>
This was nowhere near as good a workout as land running, but my face got warm, breathing was heavier, and when I took my heart rate it was in the 120-140 range.

11 easy miles on TM in 83 and change - Yesterdays high 40s gave way to this mornings teens, but it will be 50 again soon <img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif">

I am glad I made it to 5k runner as just the pain and agony of being a miler made me cringe. <img alt="cwm21.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cwm21.gif">

I'm never going to catch Mikey, so why even try? <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br>
SGH - I feel your pain. I HATE pool running. It's an oxymoron. But it does ensure that you get the workout in and heal at the same time.<br><br><br>
A titch over 9 miles with 6x600 metres at 5k pace / 90 secs jog in between. Finished with 2 miles at a strong pace. 1:16:45 or so.<br><br>
Into the insane crunch of the Pfitz program with 7 weeks to go.

5.4 miles this morning. It was cool and dark, slightly windy. Felt pretty good. My right shin tightened up a little, but I stretched a couple times and it seemed fine. It's been getting tight a lot lately - can't like it!

I can finally walk (almost) without a limp today! <img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif"><br><br>
I'll try to get to the gym and put together a miscellaneous rehab/prehab workout tonight.

 

[athletictrainer22]

This morning I was out for my first hill workout. Gotta say that it was kinda fun and different for a change. 4 miles in with 4 hill repeats. Now if it would just get a touch warmer (17 this morning) my morning runs would be great!!

 

[dg1]

7.75 hilly miles @ lunch. 25 degrees with wind 15-20 gusting to 30.<br><br>
Isn't it Spring yet?

 

[Floridaboiler]

The garmin said 5.72 miles but before the leaves came out on the trails it measured it abotu 6.2 miles so close enough. Total time was 49:24. 3 more days and a wake up to race day.

I'll post full details later, but today's run absolutely, positively sucked.<br><br>
12.5 miles in just under 2 hours. I had planned 16. I got to mile 11, and said to myself "I'm not having fun. I'm going home."<br><br>
What went wrong? What <b><i>didn't</i></b> go wrong? My right hip started hurting, so did my right knee, my left calf, and my stomach was upset from mile 6 on. Add in a couple of bouts with stitching pains, and you get the idea. This run is <b>NOT</b> one of the more memorable runs.<br><br>
Weather sucked, or blew as the case may be. Sustained from the N at 10 with gusts to 25.<br><br>
When I was at 11, I was right into the wind, and it was really gusting hard. All those things were bothering me and I said "Screw it, I'm going home."

 

[merigayle]

EQ- i have had runs like that and they suck. But a good run is right around the corner <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> They always are.

4.5 or so very hilly miles in less than one lunch hour. Legs felt pretty much recovered from Sunday's long run. I credit a steady diet of chocolate milk and doritos.

 

[Flounder]

Grizzy - You are wise - I am just getting warmed up <img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif"><br><br>
10 miles tonight @75 minutes<br><br>
Good runnign to all -

 

[roots]

Although cold tonight (28F and windy,) I had a fabulous track run.<br><br>
11 miles total (94 min)<br>
2.5mi warm-up<br>
6mi @ T-pace, 40min total (4x 1.5mi; with 2-3 min recoveries)<br>
2.5mi cool-down<br><br>
Average T-pace = 6:38<br><br>
I couldn't be more pleased. I have not run this long of a tempo since this time last year. My training group was running 800s, so it was somewhat a solo run.<br><br>
With 4 weeks to go to the next race, I'm changing gears a bit and cutting back to one long quality workout per week. My goal is to keep adding distance to the tempo run until I hit 10mi, or break. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">
