Last day - a bit of a wreck, but I loved it
Well, I've had my last day and I'm packing my bags ready to leave. This week has been a major deviation from my regular running. According to my marathon training plan, I should have done 52 miles on flat or slightly undulating roads around Hertfordshire. Instead, I've chosen to do 47 miles, mostly on mountain trails at altitude. My legs have been battered, pummeled and stretched to within an inch of their active existence, ...
Day 5 - Just like Scotland: mountains & rain
... Meters. It feels as though I've spent the day being abused by women. Firstly, there was the morning speed session, where we had Liz Yelling beasting us round the track for a VO2 work out. Later, I spent an hour with Charlotte, the masseuse. This was a much needed, deep tissue sports massage. After the last five days running, my legs were throbbing and she went in hard from the start. Kneeling on the table, with full pressure on my calves, IT bands and every other part of ...
Day 4 - Tough mountain run and refreshing splash
Only one workout today: Mountain run. Distance: 10 miles; Time: 1:38; Av'g Pace: 9:40; Heart rate effort: 72%; Calories spent: 1,296; Altitude: Started at 1,100 M, ascended to 1,450 M on first 2 miles, then undulating between 1,200 and 1,450 for remainder as the route takes in different peaks of this mountain range. Ears popped at about 1,300 M. I could have taken a longer option, but I decided to pace myself for the training ...
Day 3
... mountain run - 7 or 14 miles - Afternoon in the town of La Clusaz, optional for afternoon are swimming pool or shopping in town Note to self: Take some photos and post on this blog More things to do when I get back - Introduce a deep stretch session to my training, this would be good in front of the TV one evening a week. - Cancel that taster Pilates class I signed up for - it's a bit like an ice bath, I know it's good for me, but there are some things I just don't like ...
Day 2
One of the great things about mixing with other obsessive runners, whether at the club or on a specialist holiday like this, is the gems of knowledge you pick up. The sort of anecdotal tips from people who've experienced the latest running shoes, or tried the latest supplements or read a particularly good book or magazine. For example, one of my fellow runners is a Pharmacist, and he has recommended a concoction (which he also uses) to help combat the fatigue I get during high ...
