Juneathon Day #26
With it being Tuesday, that means it’s a half-marathon training schedule day and as I would never ever ever ever ever not stick to my schedule, I went off to the gym at lunchtime for an interval session as I had been ordered encouraged to do 22 minutes at 9/11kph. Ouch.
I get to the gym and it’s busy but I find an unused treadmill hiding behind a pillar and get on it and notice the man on the bike in front of me has no neck and I wonder why he hasn’t got a neck and after a few seconds some of my hair has come out of its band and is flapping in my face and won’t stay behind my ear and it’s really bugging me and so after 5 minutes I have to stop to do some girly hair-adjusting type stuff and I carry on and my hair has come loose again and I think fuck it, I’ll be sweating like a pig glowing in a ladylike fashion in a minute and I can just plaster it onto my head and I’m thinking I don’t think I can do all 22 minutes today, maybe it’s too much the day after body pump and only five hours sleep but I carry on and it eventually gets to 18 minutes and I think can I do the final four minutes that I was ordered encouraged to do? and I think well I’ll have a go but I think I’m going to faint or puke or an extremely unladylike combination of both and I eventually get to the end without dying. Result.
Someone tell me again why I’m doing this please?
Stats
Treadmill: 22 minutes
Distance: 3.58k
Speed: 9/11kph
Blimey what a fuss abouit nine-elevenths of a kilometre per hour! It’s only just over 0.8kph – wait until you have to do 1kph 😉
oh right! Intervals! Now that’s more like it 🙂
Part of the idea of them is to feel on the edge of not being able to cope – this coach is dead proud of his prodigy – well done you 🙂 Definitely a hardcore finely tuned athlete

You are doing this so you don’t turn in to the guy that was in front of you with no neck!!!!!!{gross} My hair is real long and a pain to keep up and out of my face.
Well done ol bean on the training. Im doing a half marathon in October so i will soon be putting the mileage in 🙂 as well as the interval training yuch!
Perhaps cos the Nottingham half is damn hilly and it will be a lot
less likely to kill youeasier if you’ve followed a hardcore training plan.What? Hills? No one said anything about hills. I don’t do hills. Eek.
‘Why am I doing this?’ – I blame Preston.
I was kidding, I love hills.
Make sure I do loads 🙂
Yeah they changed the course last year – the hills were a cheeky surprise that I must admit I could have done without :-/
Noooooooooooooooooooooo hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllsssssssssssssss 🙁
