jogging bottoms are like sweat pants Member 935, 972 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 227.5 567.5 kgs @ 97.6kgs UnEq	Training run 3.86 miles in 33:11 (8:34 mins/mile) Splits: 8:21, 8:42, 8:40 Last 0.86 @ 8:36 pace Avg HR 170, max 179 This was supposed to be 4 miles @ tempo (8:20). I didn't have any clean undershorts today so I ran in boxers + running shorts - this proved to be a mistake as I got some bad chafing from around 1.6 miles. I'm pretty sure I could have gone faster if I wasn't in such discomfort! I was able to focus on good form throughout - I was trying to stay upright, chest proud and head not leaning forward, with a relaxed stride pattern. One more long run on Wednesday, then I'll do a mini-taper - the 10K is in two weeks today.

I was really tired by the end and had to talk myself out of stopping at the 6 mile mark. Now time to undo my training with three days of fast food, drink and perhaps some token rugby.

I couldn't have run much faster, that's for sure. But still, after a week off and a weekend of the worst possible diet/drink, this was a necessary run. With the 10K on Sunday, I'm trying to decide whether I should leave it there for training or fit in a faster 2 mile run tomorrow or Friday. Lifting will resume next week.

jogging bottoms are like sweat pants Member 935, 972 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 227.5 567.5 kgs @ 97.6kgs UnEq	Training run - race pace 2.02 miles in 16:31 (8:11 mins/mile) Splits: 8:08, 8:13 Avg HR 176, max 186 That's my final run before the Oxford Town & Gown 10K on Sunday. My aim is to go sub-52 minutes, which would require a pace of 8:22 or faster for 6.2 miles. I think I can do it, but it's going to hurt.

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	Enjoy the run tomorrow

jogging bottoms are like sweat pants Member 935, 972 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 227.5 567.5 kgs @ 97.6kgs UnEq	Oxford Town & Gown 10K 2015 Chip time 53:58 Mile splits: 8:21 8:35 8:30 8:40 9:08 9:11 Avg HR 180, max HR 202 (!) So, a 10K PB (eight years on from my last one, and I've taken 39 seconds off my time), but I missed my goal by two minutes. I started well and felt great for the first 5-6km, even though I knew I was off the pace by about 20 seconds at the half-way point. I really started to tank around 6-7km and the whole stretch from 7-9.5km was pretty painful and slow. I found a burst of energy to run the last 600m pretty hard, including a flat-out sprint finish - I'm glad I did this and managed to get sub-54 at least. I'm disappointed to miss my goal but still fairly pleased given that I've been ill this week. On reflection, I think I needed to spend more time doing tempo training - the furthest I've run at my target pace is 5K (all my quicker ~4 mile runs were slightly slower than target), so that's something to work on for next time. https://scontent-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11062117_10153422106047223_3289105674129247273_n.jpg?oh=36131768f11ab678128de5d7ce102daa&oe=55CD9F80

So, between the 10K race and today, my only proper exercise was a 3 mile run in Central Park. We did a lot of walking in the Lakes (32 miles in total) and a fair bit in NYC, so I mitigated my s**t dietary choices somewhat! I now have 18 weeks until the Oxford Half Marathon, so I need to get back into my running training to build towards that. My weight loss has also stalled over the six weeks or so, so I need to get my diet back in order and start lifting again. Training run - Thurs 28th May - Central Park, NY 3 miles in 28:22 (9:24 mins/mile) Avg HR 173 Training run - Sat 6th June 2.5 miles in 22:52 (8:56 mins/mile) Avg HR 170

Could do with getting that going again. I have been playing a lot of cricket and the impact of bowling has stopped me from running for the last month. I need to slowly ramp that up again as I have the half-marathon on 11th October.

jogging bottoms are like sweat pants Member 935, 972 posts SQ 220, BP 120, DL 227.5 567.5 kgs @ 97.6kgs UnEq	Well, I forgot about this journal. I stopped running and lifting, got a bit fatter, then started lifting again (in a gym this time!) earlier this year. Recent highlights include: - Sumo deadlift 1 x 220kg (lifetime PB) - Paused sumo deadlift 5 x 180kg - Beltless high bar squat 3 x 150kg - High bar squat 1 x 170kg (lifetime PB for high bar) - Front squat 5 x 115kg - Paused front squat 3 x 120kg So it's going well. I'm considering working towards a GBPF qualifier in early 2018.
