runnersheffWed 03/01/07 17:21		Hi. Ive been following some of the running forums recently and though i would start one of my own. The daily grind seems appropriate as i want to start an online dairy of my daily training. Ive run for many years, running between 80 - 100 miles a week for many years. My best distance wa 100km and in 2001 i was ranked 10th in the UK. However a loss of form and susequently motivation and enthusiasm followed and i have spent the past few years in the doldrums somewhat, but plan to make a comeback to ultra distance running in 2007. I have entered the Draycote Water 35 miles in feb, the Connemara 39 miler on april 1st and del passatore 100km between florence and faenza on 26th may. Hopefully this wont just be one mans training dairy. Hopefully some other runners out there will stumble on my little corner of out and if you want to contribute that would be great. Hopefully a few people will get some interest from following what it takes to train for races like these and i will get motivation from posting my training. Pete.
runnersheffThu 04/01/07 12:26		OK. The first day and time for a slight catch up on the week so far. Monday 1st rest Tuesday 2nd did 5.25 into work in the early morning and same again inthe afternoon. 10.5 for the day. Wednesday 3rd. steady 7 in the morning. Today got myself up at 7 and managed to get myself out running for 08.40. Did my out and back course today. All I do is run out for 57 mins and then turn round and run back the way I came. I make this a 'negative split run'. Very strong wind and driving rain today. Not pleasant!
runnersheffFri 05/01/07 11:12		Up for 7am and out running by 08.10. 12 miles including 25 mins tempo run, most of it uphill, fairly steep in parts. Breezy at times. Work this afternoon.
runnersheffSun 07/01/07 11:13		Saturday 06/01/07 was up at 04.55. Drove into the outskirts of Sheffield, parked the car and ran the 5.25 miles across the city to the northern general hospitalin time to start my shift at 7am. After worfk ran the 5.25 miles back to the car in the afternoon. 10.5 for the day. Today Sunday 7th is a rest day, but still have 60 miles for the week. Its not bad but need to be doing more really.
runnersheffMon 08/01/07 18:12		Another early start. Up at 04.55 to drive into Sheffield, park the car and run the 5.25 miles into work. Another 5.25 back to the car again in the afternoon.
runnersheffTue 09/01/07 11:37		Up at 7am again for a 9 miler, including 'number sride fartlek' session of 100's x 12 with 50's recovery. Hard going in the wind though.
