This week I gave myself a stern talking to (the only person I listen to, lets be honest) about the running and getting down to some serious training for possibly three half marathons in the autumn.
I researched, I found a plan (will be posted here eventually).
Week One (not strictly to plan)
Monday-rest-done
Tuesday-Intervals-done
Wednesday-rest-done
Thursday-3m-not managed this
Friday-Rest-but did walk 3 miles up hills so covering Thursdays run, right?
Saturday-3m
Sunday-6m
I am working on the theory that plans are meant to be flexible!
Tomorrows 3 miles will not now be a parkrun with two madams as planned (big madam breathing a huge sigh of relief) as hubby has free tickets to the Yeovilton Air Show, so an early rise is in store for me to get 3 miles in before a hot day looking skywards.
Today I dragged big Madam on a walk from Branscombe to Beer scenery lovely as ever, as was the ice cream we ate in Beer!

Enjoy your early morning run! Think of me at around 9.20, baking in the exposed bit of Killerton 🙂
Don’t think you managed pr and don’t blame you it was a scorcher-maybe we will both manage it next week?
To be honest, it was so hot in Exmouth early on that I decided not to go. I’m not about for the next few weeks. Back on the 10th, volunteering as “random marshal” and running the week after that
Random is good! Can’t promise to be there on 10th as during our hols although we are not going away, can’t bare to eave Devon!
I plan to be running on 17th. I am also hoping for slightly cooler temperatures overnight and in the early morning (it can hit 30 by all means, but not until after lunch!).
I love the heat. But it`s playing hell with my running. Hal Higdon has good half marathon plans, by the way.
Flexibility in training plans is good. The rest day and the speed day have been to the letter… But my ‘undulating run’ was ‘four hours of tennis’ today and the order is completely to pot.
Long live flexibility.
Flexibility and delaying great running tactics
So looking forward to seeing you at Cardiff! I’m bricking it about my training – I did my 1st run in 2 weeks yesterday, can you give me a stern talking too as well please?
Get to it you slacker!
