it such a gid rate - only 5!
Rest day and Pizza fur me the day. Yesterday afternoon while rushing about I dropped car at garage for tyres and as I turned an ran (the kind of normal catch a bus that may be coming you just can;t see it yet type of run - nothing remotely fast) I felt a pain. To be honest I thought maybe wind   but then I wasn;t sure - ok when I walked but something not right when I broke into a trot (I was nearly late for pilates). I still felt it this AM combined with dentist decided against running an lunch was not really feasible anyway as no many folks in an I was helpdesk and a wee bit busy the day.
Anyway the pain.... it was in my right side kind of too low to be a stitch sort of between my belly button an hip across the way but quite low but I don;t think quite groin area..... anyway it was sore but not anything that bothered me during pilates just aware of something not right. Was sore when attempted to run for bus again (had to get back to garage) and was still sore but less so this AM. Think it's gone but no idea what it was 
So, I think it's fine and I;m resting till Sunday anyway Hope the weathers better it's been raining an blowing a gale here nd a bit cold bbrrrr.... Ooo I;m excited
Is it normal to be excited nearly all the time about running Feel sorry for folks in work but they do encourage me an ask me rather than me constantly wandering around starting running conversations (honest)
Was chatting this PM to a guy who zooms - zoomed a lot when he was younger 31 minute 10k and he keeps asking how I am and what I;m up too an offering advice.... he's training or trained to be an official coach now I'm sure. He seems shocked at my Sub 4 mara with avg less than 25 mile weeks with the short time I'd been running an losing weight (not counting when I was wee). He reckons I should stop running marathons before I slow down too much cos he reckons i can run 'fast' (after seeing my finish at one of the Arthur Seat 5k where apparently I left the other woman standing). So next year he wants me to take a year off an get faster at the shorter stuff before doing another one..... think he might be right Wee bit worried he might start advising me to do some hard interval stuff  and maybe have a bit more structure or something  but too be honest - I think Id like it
Sheesh I wrote loads.... see what no runnin does ti me!
I really want a party smillie in here - Helen will need to help me sort that out again cos I;ve forgotten how!

well done BUT a YEAR OFF???? shorter races are fine BUT if you enjoy longer races/runs upto Marathons then i say stick with it, shorter races/distances such as 5k/10k are ok but its a bit like badminton or squash, shorter impact can cause more problems, just my view but I'm still running BUT peeps who where great at squash are now suffering and not doing ANY sport at all

 Thanks Wicked but we'll see. I really want to run fast again while I'm 'young-ish' so I can come back an take a chunk off my Marathon time. I've never done any other impact sport than running and other than possibly shin splints (the x-rays couldn't see anything) when I put on loads of weight at 16 I've never hurt myself either so far (twisted my knee Jan 2007 skiing when heavy an unfit but don't feel it at all now, oh yeah an I hurt my heel probably when running an jumping from the top of builders storage/ crate things when I was 14)
I love running again but I love even more the feeling of running fast that I get occasionally when training with the group or doing fartlek. I just don't do much of it while marathon training.
I'd really love to get back well under 6 minute miles (as I could when I was 14/15 with 4:52 for 1500m!). With the strength that growing up and now marathon training has brought I'd love to see how close I can get to 40 min for 10k before I head back to marathons for something special Besides my laziness really wants to run for as short a time as possible so to get that in marathons I need to run faster!
Not that I like to am high or anything
If there's the chance of hurting myself on the way because of the impact of the training it's something I'm willing to risk to push myself to be the best I can I spent too long just aimlessly wandering through life without the zest and guts I have found again with running- so I have to use it

I know where you are coming from and that is my reason for not wanting to do marathons at the moment and although I am going to enter the ballot for London this year I only plan on doing it once for the time being and I won't sacrifice the shorter races/speedwork that I love for it, they will just be reduced for a few months in the build up! I know that I am naturally better at the shorter distances both because of my build and because I enjoy the intensity of them and for now I want to put them first. That is quite an easy decision for me to make though because Marathons arn't calling me in the same way as doing well at the shorter distances and cross country are. Maybe have a year off from Marathoning next year and see how much you miss it in contrast to what you get from focusing on the shorter distances and what you achieve from that. You never know until you try and whilst your head may be telling you to focus on the shorter ones for now it's important to listen to what you are most passionate about too because in my opinion you will succeed the most when you are doing the thing that you really want to be doing.

| 4:52 for 1500? You are (have been) scarily fast. I'm not going to offer an opinion... just the advice to do what you want to do - only take advice if you like what they are saying. Or am I just staing the obvious? |

Don't worry folks - I'm stubborn enough to do what I want anyway I just like to air it a bit an make sure it's what I really want.
So after today I think it is V Happy with my 10K PB run 6 out of 6 for 2009.
Full report in the reports - http://aluaka.forumco.com/topic~TOPIC_ID~1946.asp
Just not long finished my slow cooked dinner - both the mums this week met my Irish Stew with approval I had another glass off wine Thats three drinks (of the alcoholic variety) in 5 an half weeks
9.5 miles total today takes the miles I think to 32 an 4 miles shy of 1000 miles since I entered my 1st Marathon on 1st Jan 2008

Smout, congrats on the PB.
A couple of points on your diary entry...
quote:
Is it normal to be excited nearly all the time about running
YES - I really struggle to think about anything else. I'm always thinking about the next race and what I need to do to improve.
Secondly, the year off marathons is an excellent idea. It's what I'm doing at the moment (hence why it's an excellent idea ). Basically, if you want to run a quick marathon, you need to run a quick half. To run a quick half, you need to run a quick 10k... do you see where I'm going with this?
Look at the top runners, they take years before they run a marathon. They get quick and then add the endurance. It's the "proper" way to approach running. Most runners do it the wrong way and get seduced by the marathon first.
From your former glories & recent improvements, I'd definitely recommend you work on shorter stuff. Nothing longer than half marathon and get plenty of 10ks/5ks under your belt.
Whatever you choose to do, good luck, it's clear you've got the determination and ability to do well. |
