Indeed a pretty tidy 10k as well - good luck with going sub 37 (sounds like an insane target to me)!Great to hear the recovery has got to the point where you can consider getting back in the gym Susan - amazing. Don't push it too hard...but deffo give it a go - in moderation its got to help speed stuff up.
Largely back on target for me this last few days.
9/9 Dumbbells and 30mins varipace for 7575m
11/9 8x500r3:30. A while back I managed 7 in the low 1:40.x and a faster last for a 1:39.9 avg. Ever since when this session comes up I go for all 8 at 1:39.9 and I've not yet made it. Tonight managed 6 @ 1:39.8/9/8/8/9/9 but was hurting badly so then 1:44.9 and 1:42.7 to finish for a 1:40.8 avg...I'll try again next time!
13/9 Dumbbells and 6k@20 in 23:45.5 (.1 too fast!)
14/9 Inspired by Rod I had a go at the 4mins for the IRL tonight. Last year I managed 1197m and spotted a gap in the record books to claim the BR for a few weeks. Quite rightly Richard S let it be known that he had set the bar considerably higher a few years back and my tenure of the pedestal was somewhat short lived! My best ever in my early 50s was a 1220 and nowadays my aspiration is to get back to 1200. I'm still not quite there, but managed to eek out one more meter this year for an 1198 so I have to be happy with that. In fact I was quite tired today so I may give it another go if I get the chance on a day I'm feeling fresher, just to see if I can find another half second. I'll have to give it time to forget the pain first though!
