PS: I'm going to JOG Half Marathon on Thursday, maybe 1:45. Stay tuned. :)
Well, today will be a short run, and my 5th day in a row. It's been a while since I did that. The foot is not an "issue" on runs now, except for near the end of longer runs, but nothing major. Getting out of bed in the morning is a different story though.

I'm not sure if you misread the post, or if this a case of mistaken identity. Either way, I can assure you that I am not Running Dog.
Thanks for the picture.

RD, I decided not to run today afterall. 4 consecutive days of 100min, 45min, 50min and 75min is a bit of a jump. I'd better not push it.

Yesterday was a spin on the mtb for 40mins. Then 80mins of slow easy running on hilly old mining trails in Bendigo.
Today was a 67min easy run on flat trails along the creek and a lap of the golf course. Finished off with a 35min spin on the mtb.
30+' on the roads yesterday.....reduced due to wet snow falling and not because of any injury recurrence.....felt good until the clothing got soaked through near the end.....a hot shower cured all.....still some minor occasional stiffness, but not a big issue....wanted to celebrate in solidarity with my thread-mates....happy anniversary to my fellow DYRTers.....(not sure how that got turned into a negative, but hopefully we can turn it back around)...
Equating being told you're wrong to a hidden knife is really saying something about yourself. We are all wrong at some point.

yesterday: bike commute only
today: commute on foot, running after the tram. Feeling good.
day off
Yesterday I did 30min grass/trail jog + 4x100m on the track in 26,24,22,20 + 6x1000m on the road in 5:02, 4:39,4:29,4:12,3:57,3:51 + 10min grass jog.
The very beginning of "speedwork"? :)
It felt fine, except for a bit of foot soreness on the last couple of 1000s, but I'm fine today.....looking forward to 10k ish today, then 21k tomorrow......
Cheers

Improvised tapering continues.
Going skiing for a week.
Am waiting for a reply from Weldon Johnson and Moderators on a thread i started but evidently was deleted. But they must all be very busy...
3 mile warm up to indoor track. Freaking cold out today, but I'm a wuss anyway.
6400 in 22:31; 5:46, 5:37, 5:36, 5:30 -- weaving around joggers
4 minute recovery
3200 in 10:53; 5:31, 5:22
4 minute recovery
4x200 in 33, 35, 33, 32 w/ 1 minute jogs in between
Still in a revised version (to me) of a base build up. Doing things different this year--and know my new style was not influenced by the internet. I actually read books on running--I guess I'm trying to combine Daniels, Lydiard, and Simmons into one. I'll see how it all works later this year.

Damn, I'm sure I've done that session, Brady. Simmons??? All the best.
Today I did a grass run, 40min jog + 4x130m-ish accels + 10min jog. I could feel yesterdays stress, but all was good. The end of the accels may have touched 1500m/Mile pace.
hit the trails yesterday for 30+'......couldn't wait any longer for spring......not too muddy, but still some snow and ice deep into the woods......very slow due to terrain and unfamiliarity (a new trail for me).....very satisfying......no stiffness......life is good......
this thread was an interesting read until Skuj came back and ruined it with incredibly annoying repetitive crap.

Prediction: Skuj will now refer to "track chick" as "RD."
gonzo,
Hope you're lurking. Need to get your update on keeping on.
Weigh in please.
Skuj, How's the youngster doing??
20 mins.easy,lower back pain cut it short.
The youngun is wonderful, Sundance. Thanks. he's so incredible.
Here is my incredibly annoying repetitive crap for today:
I jogged our Half Marathon race course, in 1:43:30, then did 4 short accels on grass. The foot was good and the ham didn't twinge. Things are looking up, and RD, I'm gonna keep posting!!! :)
Cheers

Wednesday, 2h 15m mtb ride across Spring Plains forest to the Tooborac shop and back. Quite testing trails, lots of short sharp climbs plus a few longer ones, lots of loose surface. Went out to the harness racing track and did an easy 5x200m strides on the sand then 15mins barefoot jog on the golf course.
Thursday, easy 72min run through the Argyle forest. Pretty slow and easy.
Finding the slow running a little tedious but I am determined to build a bit of a base so will put up with it.
Ran 9 miles at 6:34/mi 59:08.
13+ min warmup, to track: 400m pace test 1:56, 1x 1mi pickup 6:30, 400m pace test 1:55, 14min cooldown. coming off achilles strain.
