Looks like a good few autumn marathon casualties this year... Managed progressive 5km runs the last three evenings from 11km/hr up to 15km/hr which I think is around 6.30min/mile-ish. These have been on the treadmill and felt ok. Contrast to my runs on the road where I feel like I can't run faster than 8min/miles... Think it's an impact thing. Happy to keep going with some treadmill running as it allows. |

BS - we tend to do 40secs/ 30's recovery and passing through 200m between 34-37secs depending how fresh i am... there's always a last rep burnout and pass through 200 in 31/32secs and wish we were just running 200mtrs

*Gulp, will try to cut the recovery to 45 (from 75) tomorrow but may need the puke bucket. Last Thursday night at the club (night after the 20x200) some of us done 6x 0.5 and my legs were burning bad 😂

Chrisull lack of downhill practice is one of my big problems at xc. Cant run downhill without slowing down. I totally agree it mashes the quads but it must be good for you because its so hard

Clare - just putting tempos in weekly is beneficial, but as said on prev page, having some structure to how they fit in plan can be important too, so building up from 4 to 7 miles over some weeks. And they can be a bit quicker than HM pace too, imho! G

7 miles done and it was hard when it was meant to be easy. Really not feeling it at the mo. Tired and legs hurt all the time. I'll keep going with the P&D schedule and hope my legs get stronger and I get fitter.
