I also found a couple of flints I thought had been "worked" but when examined by my wife (archaeologist before full time parent) my elation was soon dashed. Its good to dream. | ||

LUCK, today I was finishing a small landscaping job and had underestimated how much turf to get I was 1 roll short, annoyingly none to be had in Pork Pie town I had to go back to the original supplier 15miles away Halfway there there is a large roundabout where I spotted 8 or so rolls on the roundabout where some barry dumbkoff had failed to secure his load. His bad luck was my good luck. They were a bit mashed up but saved me about half an hour and £3. | ||

HR first thing was up 10bpm or so I think it must be a combination of 2k fear and my toe fixing system working overtime. If things don't pick up tomorrow /Tuesday I will defer the 2k I would rather be crushed by a non attempt than a HD attempt. Bench going well though. | ||

My easy weeks are often pretty crappy on times / HR and don't start to pick up until the middle week. You've done almost all the hard work now, stick with it! | ||

Short term plan maybe have a dash at something short or restricted rate (default pb) Longer term I think I need a break from structure for a few weeks, which I guess will be lots 100's and really need to start some strength stuff again. Almost tempted to do a PL comp even though I haven't squatted for close on 2 years. Last night went out to the shed For Dylanfest to celebrate his 80th did a few Long Leg Benches 60x10 100x1 140x1 155x1pb 155x1 micro pause 155x1 155x1 100x20 last paused.

old age traveller Member 332, 7863 posts | so the taper is meant to fill you wth confidence, for me it has highlighted just how bloody hard it is! Possibly because I am a negative split type of guy starting off at overall intended pace and maintaining it for 4 and then 3 minutes was not the best plan coupled with a higher than expected HR it has made me think my Pb from 2 months back of 6.39 is pretty decent. I will carry on with the taper then warm up on Sunday and attempt what feels right. Smart money should be on the shorter distances. | ||

I'm starting to feel nervous for you We've hammered Rathburn from Winter to Spring I wonder what times it will bring Very soon we will see It's pb time for jt and me | ||

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3367 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | jt said: Last night went out to the shed For Dylanfest to celebrate his 80th did a few Long Leg Benches I don't picture Mr. Zimmerman as much of a bencher. The outcome of your training doesn't necessarily have to be a 2k PB on a specific week, other distances or dates can do just fine. | ||
