Half marathon training

[coachnomad]

No but I am trying to do more yoga

 

[summergurl]

Yoga is good for core strength though isn't it?

 

[parfittaroles]

I'm doing the Llanelli one you?

 

[WelshJojo]

I'm doing the Llanelli one you?

I'm doing Silverstone, along with Coachnomad and I think Shazzabir

 

[Shazzabir]

I am doing two kettlebell workouts a week. Going to also do a 30 min bike and 30 min x-trainer session in between 3 runs a week.
After my 8 mile run my ribs and boobs were really sore? Anyone else had this? Presuming its to do with my arms swinging??

 

[summergurl]

Sounds silly, but are u wearing a decent sports bra? I found towards the end of my training i was getting sore boobs but then changed to a sports bra and it was ok x

 

[Shazzabir]

Actually I wear those sport crop tops, so no I'm probably not. I do have a sports bra, so will make sure that's what I wear for the long runs. Thanks Summer

 

[coachnomad]

Well done! I've not run for over a week due to work and other problems

 

[Shazzabir]

Just a quick question: what are u meant to do when u need a wee part way round. I only ran 95 mins, but was desperate to go by the end of it!!!!

 

[coachnomad]

Well done Shazzabir, that's great!!! For my longer runs I try to make sure I pass a tiolet at some point just in case. I also think toilet control is part of the training, try experimenting with what you drink, how much and how soon before you go for a run. Try and go to the toilet 2 or 3 times before you run too.

I'm still on plan and going out tomorrow instead of today as I went out yesterday instead if Sunday.

 

[summergurl]

Got back out there today and used my new Garmin toy! It's brilliant

Did 2.05miles
22:02
10:46 pace p/mile
277cals burnt

V.pleased with that. Usually my pace is 11:30p/mile so where an earth I got 10:46 from after 3days of eating junk & drinking wine I do not know! lol
