About Me | |
---|---|
Harmless and perennially unaccomplished old woman, mostly minding my manners because I'm just a paying guest here. Sometimes I forget. NHS workforce survivor. Prone to toxic optimism, but not deluded enough to believe that anyone can do anything if they set their mind to it or that age is just a number. Quite nice in real life.
I took up running in 2001 to do just one marathon for charity, and here I still am. I have little talent for it, but once every few years I have a brief flash of mediocrity and then burn out. Realistically, I'm more likely to become a casualty than a beneficiary of age-related attrition in the sport, but I'm not going to sit around waiting for it to happen. Show More...

Describe your ideal run, ride or swim. Gently undulating tarmac (not for swimming, obvs., swimming is just an essential skill to reduce my risk of being drowned fatally to death). Not too much wind or traffic. Everything else is negotiable. |

Wet, breezy, but not too warm to wear a raincoat.
Only very mild hamstring discomfort this morning, and everything else is fine (not surprising since I didn't run very hard yesterday) so I went out for 60 minutes easy with the option of walking if necessary. It was OK at that pace. 61 Base. Garmin will have my Acute Training Load as Low again by tomorrow. 1st Jul 2024, 11:03am

Went out to deal with my Fetchpoint bug intending to do the small triangle as a minimum and aiming for 60 minutes. Was running surprisingly well, leg niggles all silent apart from right Achilles tendon pulling going up the hill out of Hayton. OK, full disclosure, both Achilles tendons. Quite warm once the wind was behind me coming back down the A596, heart rate no higher than I'd expect in that temperature at that pace with a full complement of erythrocytes.

eL Bee! invited me along for the ride when he went to get his Fetchpoint bug. He worked me hard enough for my missing pint of blood to make itself known. (Comfortable enough, but HR and Garmin Exercise Load unusually high for a tandem ride.)

Went out for a short easy run to squish my Fetchpoint bug (off road again) and try out the Nike Invincibles that I bought in the sportshoes.com sales a while ago because I think my Epic Reacts might need to become walking shoes soon. They're OK - good fit, no rubbing, differential feels about right, tolerant of easy trail. I don't require them to cure my delicate Achilles tendons, but that would be a bonus.
Warmer than I expected. My heart rate went up higher than I'd have liked on anything that wasn't downhill. But I think I can just define this as a Recovery Run. 67 Base. 8th Jul 2024, 11:36am

Garmin suggested 10min warm up, 3 x 8min@8.25mm with 2min recoveries, 10min cool down. Seemed more useful than the 60 minutes easy I was going to do. First two efforts executed reasonably well since they were downhill and, I was to discover when I turned round at the end of the second rep, wind-assisted. I was completely gubbed at the end of the third rep and then the sodding watch yammered at me for my cool down being too slow. Stopped it at the end of the programmed session before jogging home.

60 minutes easy. Just a light breeze, cold enough that I didn't overheat in capris and a raincoat, started off drizzly (thought the raincoat might be overkill when I set out) and got progressively wetter. Soaked to the bones when I came back. The actual run was fine; I feel a lot less tired today.

No excuse to dodge the run today. Not particularly warm, a bit humid, breezy. Took a bit of time to get into it (I was fine by the end) and my innards have been fermenting something since yesterday. I'm inclined to blame the Frisee lettuce that came with my sandwich at lunchtime on Tuesday. Aware of that cranky bit of hamstring today though it doesn't actually hurt. Heart rate wouldn't stay down on the off-road section.
At least I'm moving again, and won't have to go out and get steps after dinner, although I will have to go out and get a bottle of milk at some point today. 105 Base. 18th Jul 2024, 3:03pm

Definitely a better day for cycling than for running. The breeze is cool but the air temperature is warm.
Gave the Infinities a test on a normal run rather than on puggled legs. Might take a bit of getting used to, but nothing about them is dreadful and if they won't do for running they'll be excellent walking shoes. Would have gone across to Arkleby and up Station Road if I'd been running well and enjoying it, but I wasn't so I didn't.

Terrestrial tandem, to check the tweaks eL Bee! made yesterday (there's still a creak coming from the chains-and-spirographs area, probably front end). The heart rate graph on the buzzy one's training log entry tells most of the story.

Better than expected, sometimes it happens! Not too warm, nice breeze, roads dry despite heavy rain yesterday evening and into the night. Felt as if I was running very smoothly most of the time, and my heart rate was coming down nicely on the descents. Opted to roll with it rather than trying to add any fancy stuff. Late decision to round it up to 8 miles and then to 90 minutes.

I used to be able to run in the evening. Let's see if I still can. A bit stiff-legged and sleepy, and it was only an hour after dinner so my lower oesophageal sphincter got a workout too (it's fine).

45min before Coke and oblongs, including the "easy" route on the long wall (5/6a/6a+) which was very strenuous because there's no way of dodging the overhang. And also, it's long! I'd struggle to lead it. 65min afterwards. Endurance, mostly. Led a 5 and a 5+. 22nd Jul 2024, 2:37pm

A bit warmer than I like for running, so I went out to ride the 16 miles I needed to get to the next checkpoint on this year's bike challenge. The loop to the south was a late addition.

I was quite pleased that I could. I wouldn't have given it a thought back when I used to cycle a lot, but I'm out of practice.26th Jul 2024, 1:56pm

Statement of intent yesterday was to do a 50k ride on my solo bike for UTMOST. Might as well get on with it; racing tonight but not expecting the sort of performance that it's worth saving my legs for. Decided to get a flattish continuous 50k on the board. Hardly any breeze, and it was more helpful than not along the coast and then, by some miracle, also helpful most of the way back inland. Traffic very light. Coast path overgrown.
Also uprated my 10k, 10 mile and 20 mile benchmarks, and at my level there are easy pickings to be had for any old 40 and 50 miler. Maybe next week. 75 Base. 24th Jul 2024, 1:21pm

*Inspired* by a quick spin out in the car to Moota garden centre (three achillea, pot-bound but with active growth at both ends, and one low-growing sedum, for £4.50 apiece, plus a purple cotinus, and a chat about compost with the owner) I moved the baby sunflowers that were outgrowing the pot they were sharing with the yew, gave all the sunflowers and the cosmos a dose of Tomorite, and did some weeding.

Other people doing their first run for four weeks might start off with 20 minutes, but not eL Bee!.
Enjoyed that. Legs less stiff than I thought they might be, though I knew they were tired because on the downhills I was automatically letting my HR come right down rather than picking up the pace. Not unpleasant out, overcast, light breeze from the west, bit of drizzle 50 minutes in that didn't come to anything. My ZFF went through 1000 miles of running today. 112 Base. 25th Jul 2024, 12:53pm

Straight to work when we got back from Dobbies, because I have lots of planting to do. Started with the five hydrangea "Living Infinity" (dwarf paniculata, would have liked seven but can work around five with other recurring planting). They were quite dry and pot-bound. Also watered all the other purchases from yesterday and today and moved the ties on the tall sunflowers higher up.
The border of the swamp garden looks a lot better for getting a good churning. ![]()
Fetchpointing with eL Bee! (yes, two days in a row) to the junction with the Threapland road (5k) then the buzzy one turned back as planned and I set off to go round Blennerhasset, dropping the effort level. Was going to go out and back along the tarmac section of Railway Terrace (5 miles) but met a dog whose human said he was in a bad mood and continued along the footpath rather than annoying the poor woofhound by turning round and running past again from behind. The footpath was in reasonable condition. Then I had a stiff head wind coming down from Watch Hill and there was a surprising amount of traffic coming towards me from the town. At least I didn't have to think about doodling the time up to 90 minutes at the end.
Almost warm. HR doing its own thing by the time I got to Baggrow. 151 Base. 26th Jul 2024, 1:33pm
