Blister Cut

Why do they make trainers with a metal slot at the back of the heel so that this happens on a 5 miler?

What is a Tempo Run.

It turns out it’s a run you find “comfortably hard” that means every run I have done since I started running has been a tempo run. I think?

Anyway today I did a 3 miler that was hard. A tempo run then.

Holy Crap Intervals

Phil — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 17:22:59 +0000

Todays schedule called for 8x400m Intervals. I never do this sort of stuff but i promised i would this year because i know i am lazy runner essentially. These are very hard for me. I was blowing out of my own arse by the 3rd one. So you run 400 meters fast and recover for 400 meters, repeat 8 times.

That red line is about 400 meters and that mound is where the red line is if any of that makes sense then hats off to you.

Roundup

Following a very loose running schedule today called for a very easy 4 miles. This kind of implies that i can change gear and go faster if the schedule says so. At the moment i have one speed and that is slow. Nevertheless it was nice to run slowly because i had to.

This weeks efforts.

A total of 15.80 Miles not bad for a fat bloater.
