Ran a 7:04 fifth mile (faster than planned, had virtually no pace control) before slowing which cleared the left side, but couldn't fully shake it until I got back (6 miles); not happy as it was extremely painful.

Schedule says 13 miles steady next, doing that Friday before my weekend, sure I can squeak out another 160m at the end.

Ooyah. I've been lucky with stitches *thankfully*. I'm interested what causes it, I know it's your intestines rubbing together and a friend gets them when she eats sausage rolls before she runs.

irrc they don't actually really know what causes it (can be all sorts of things) and they don't know how to cure it. I just keep running through it and it goes away eventually. Damn annoying though.

Haven't run since last Thurs. Did a hilly, but very slow run and knee was agony the next day. Saw physio Mon and have been bruised since. Hoping to run tonight, but knee is aching again this morn. So frustrating!

Yeah normally not too bad and even stiches are normally survivable, this was the entire stomach area and really bad, worst I've ever had anyway.

Strange one today, worked from home this morning and had loads to drink (like a litre before 7:30) then spent half the morning getting rid of that and having a bit more stopping at 11:15. Had half my pasta lunch I did yesterday about 10am.

13:45 went out for my run, had a few mouthfuls to drink about 20 mins before but still felt really dehydrated :s Stomach wasn't too bad but not perfect either; wondering if the intermediate pilates class did as much damage as it felt like. Still survived. Legs really ached though even from early on - the sort of "I've done 10 miles and my legs feel twice as heavy" aches. Then I realised, I've actually done over 36 miles in the last 7 days because I moved this weeks runs to Mon/Wed/Fri to avoid having to run while away at the weekend.

Not running again til Tuesday.

Hope your knee gets sorted Kate, not having a good run at the moment

I'm now fully immersed in Knee poopiness now... threw myself off the motorbike today doing 30mph and thwacked my already slightly jaunty knee.

Bit miffed as was improving on running and looking forward to one tomorrow. Back to square one for the moment and waiting patiently until it's improved again.

Knees seem to be the subject of woe at the moment

hope you girls get better soon.

Unfortunately also in this camp

did 12miles on saturday 2hr 15m 23s - with the sis in law to be who's doing the Brighton Marathon the week before me.... oh and also the dog! Hence why it wasn't that steady a 5 laps of the park - lovely weather though.

Knees were quite sore afterwards but ok yesterday and today so hoping it was just... I dunno :/

Got my Ashby 20 number, chip etc in the post on friday - omg serious!!!

No headphones? No people on bikes?! Two laps... omg. The strictest one I have done so far I think! Going to be pooped!

It's on public roads so no headphones is the norm. They can't stop cyclists though. Although I won't be able to ride round with you because we don't want you disqualified :-( I HATE two lap races, but I really enjoyed this one. Don't worry you'll be fine xxxxx

Well the Parkrun at Crystal Palace was cancelled on Saturday because of another event running, but they managed to bury it so deep in the newsletter that nobody saw it. About 20 of us ran it anyway, untimed, straight through the middle of the event. Critical Mass for runners, RECLAIM THE PARK! There were some newbies there as well, so it would have been a let-down for them.

I've heard another local Parkrun is completely cross-country, so I'm going to go along to that one next week.

How goes the taper BBx, Leicester this Sunday isn't it? I've got a nice short (well, for me very long) 15 mile training run, good luck with 20!

[Edit]

Weather for Warwick and Leicester Sunday...
Rain / Snow Showers
High +9
Low -1

Hi JMC

Yes I realise last night how behind I was posting my runs in here

they are all in the watch so will catch up soon

As advised by Coach I did 7miles earlier on the week and 5 last night. Been hydrating and eating pasta (my favourite part of rev taper

) and if I am honest with you could do with some more sleep otherwise am good

The weather yes looks crap, but to be honest I would prefer that to sun. Whenever I go out I seem to automatically put all of my clothes on lol. So should be ok.

I actually think Ashby 20 is going to be harder than the London Marathon!!! Its two loops - not a fan of loops and hilly (according to Coach). Still, it will do me the world of good in prep

How are things going for you? Good luck with the 15m!

jmc41 · 16-03-2012, 14:03

True, I don't fancy running even if it's 15C (felt like 20-25C in the sun tho) like last weekend.

My taper calls for just 10 next w/end and then gentle 3/5 mile runs but that's just a half. Tbh my knee is still giving me issues (and calves today quite sore) so I may sack off next weeks speed work, I've done two hard & fast sessions this week so not sure it'd do me much more good that close. Having today and tomrorow off too giving me legs almost 72h this time.

Hills definiately helpful for flatter running, or other hills of course!
