Finally 1 hour running!

Yesterday I saw Forests Gump in Television, and of course, that one of my favorite scenes of this film is when Forest decides to go to run, and it goes three years.
This morning has rained with intensity, and I have not been able to run, so I have left it for afternoon.
It had many desire, and I have run during 1 hour and 2', by forest, I will have made about 8,4 Miles. I have been something uncomfortable because of the long trousers, but even so, it has been a very good training that gives back the hope to me to do something more.
First it is to return to make half marathons, to see if I can face finally the challenge of marathon.

4.8 miles on the road
4.8 moles on the road, from home to the roundhouse of the "Catllar" and to return.

With a hell heat (will have arrived at 23 or 25ºC), a route that has cost me more of the habitual thing by the heat (and that I have left to 18:00).

Now my preoccupation is centered in trying to make longer distances, and in which there is less time of rest.
Good sensations.
By the way, this year not I know if there will be "Cursa de L'amistat" ("Friendship Race"), that a 1 of May of the last year, and in that I was left 10 position, in short, pity was celebrated the day.

5 miles exactly
4 days without running are too many.
At the most it must have a pair of days, not more, because when I return to train is very difficult to run better.
So, I suppose that it is a habit question, and I must "put me the batteries" with the subject.
I have run from house, to the powerboat that there is in the road of Tarragona-El Catllar, and to return, are exactly 5 miles verified with GPS.
Exactly 5 miles in a time of 37', with little hot temperature, and by road. On the other hand today is run the Valls Half Marathon, and Montmelo Race, but, I have in the end not competed in any of the two.

Training in the forest
I was walking during more or less one hour and tip by the forest, discovering new routes to run.
And today, already dressed in sport-dress, I have trained during one hour.
The forest is located in Els Hostalets, and is like a species of oasis, at the end of as much buildings.
It's peculiar, but there is an amount of footpaths and ways endless, although there is a little while in that is to lower by pronounced hills, doing very difficult to always run.




I was an hour running or training, because what is to run, I will have done with about 6 luck kms, the rest, between scaling and slopes, I have gone very slow.
But it has well been, a training in which I have been able to combine the anaerobic and aerobic (to run, jumps...) and loa, hills, scaling...
One day would have to take a GPS, to know the whole range exactly.

5,6 miles before the rain
Yesterday I rested. Sometimes the ideal is to do a "kit kat", to be able to take advantage of better the training.
This morning, I have decided to run, just before working, to 9 A.M.., and I have done it in Tarragona, following this route:
Playa Larga (Beach Long) - Fortí de la Reina (Bunker of Reina) - Passeig Casanoves - Arrabassada Beach- and arrival to the Nou Estadi (the field of the Nàstic Premier Team of Spain), and returned to the beginning place.
I do not know well whichever km I must have done, I have been 43', and I believe that they will be almost 10 kms, but in my clock it puts 9km and more or less... Right when the finishing, to begun to rain, perhaps if no, it had followed until the hour.
I am happy with the training today.

Fulfilled Objective: To run "almost" every day
4.3 miles more, I know which it's not many, and that has been only 30 minutes of training, but my objective is to run every day, or at least 5 or 6 days to the week.
Thus, surely which already there will be time for longer distances, and to be increasing.
Since I have left to 19:00, and the sky were not much light, I have returned to go by the urbanization and the town, and sure I begin to be something saturated to always run by the same site, maybe tomorrow I'll change my way.

2007/04/10

4.3 Miles again, but in this time in the urbanization
I have left to run in the evening, to 18:00 lately left never to that hour, and although I have gone something forced, because a appear a little pain in stomach, does not have been bad.
33' of running with a little everything.
Again, the long pants don't help me too much, because was very uncomfortable.
The good thing, the temperature, chilly, pleasant, without sun, but conscious that the 4.3 miles of today have been "sweepings" miles, of bulk, to be accumulating...

The LightHouse Way in Tarragona: 4.3 Miles
I have gone to Tarragona specifically to train, and I decided to do it in the LightHouse Way, in the Port of Tarragona. A circuit of 4.3 Miles (go and return).
It made enough that I didn't train there, and the truth is that I had difficult, because is very similar to a great track of athletics, track cycle, and walk track.
In the end, I have covered the walk in 30'20 '', and to an exact of 4'20 '' km, quite calm rate, without to have had breakfast, with something of pain in the left binocular, and with the sensation of which if it went more speed was going away to me to fall the MP3, so I will have to look for a solution to be able to listen to music and to run, without it bothers to me...

49', Rain and Runner's World
It has been raining all the night, but luckily, when I have waked up to 8 A.M. , only it fell some that another drop.

Under a sky totally covered, and with that freco and that humidity so typical of a day of rain, I have been going to run, with the intention to return to make 6.25 Miles, but to do them of a calm way, without vertigo rates, and breathing placidly.

I have run by the town of Pallaresos, and the only section something more hard, the one of the ascent of 11 of setembre Street of "Jardins Imperi" Urbanization (It is a hill of volume and back that seems that never it finishes...)

I have done it without a excessive effort.
Total, which I have been able to cover a distance with about a 6.6 Miles (according to my clock), 49' of training, that has ended pectoral sessions of musculation (3 repetitions of 15).

The Stomach Virus...
Day 2 of April I rested, because it is custom to rest after a race.
And day 3 I awoke with a strong stomach pain, and vomits, with which I was practically if to eat nothing. Wednesday I were recovering to me yesterday, and today Friday, when it could have begun to run a little, in the end I have remained in house, because it rains, I'm not feel still good

It is necessary to see what can change the training plan that one has anticipated by the circumstances.

Cursa Bombers (6.25 Miles) And the train arrived late!
And almost no comptie in this race!
The train that went from Tarragona to the Estacio de França (Barcelona), has arrived with more from half an hour from delay, right to 9:55 A.M..
Not I have been able to warm up nothing, not I have been able to locate me in first positions of SUB 43' (and that already seemed me bad to leave from there), I have not been able to go bathroom before running (with which the "pain" which it has taken to me has been tremendous) and, this morning had not taken pizza that thought to take, with which in the end, I have made a rare race that I have finalized in 43' absolutely lamentable, because I did the worse time in the distance .
So now I am going away to put the batteries to train more, and mainly with the intention to go to the Circuit of Montmelo to improve my mark, with the permission of the RENFE (Spanish Company of Trains), and the circumstances, clear (with that, little I can do).
Even so, either I do not feel very ashamed, and yes with a pending subject, and desire to return to do 125 miles in a month, that already is well to do so much the idiot (if I must leave to run at night to 21:00, because thus it will be).
Something positive: Another Cursa Bombers: And I already take 5 times followed!
