for the heart rate monitor .. try wear a thin t-shirt and the strap over that and see if that works for you?
nice consistent training .. bathroom break inclusive
Rest Friday then continue with program as planned
enjoy

Ok - so 1:45 on Sat, 30:00 Sunday and Monday and 1km intervals on Tuesday.
As to HR monitor - thin t-shirt won't work well, as there is still the sports bra too!
I have tried the polar sports bra where the hr monitor goes inside but even that gives me chafing - I think it's the weight of the HR monitor more than anything as I've never gotten chafing from my sports bra alone.

hopefully the new 'belt' solves the problem
please let me know if you are able to find a solution and what it is as well
Thanks

So, since last time...
Friday - rest
Saturday - 5.3km - 30:52
Sunday - 16.6km - 1:49:39 - hilly, trails
Monday - rest - stomach a bit off
Tuesday - rest - same as Monday
Wednesday - 5.3km - 32:09
Thursday - ?
Friday - ?
Saturday - ?
Sunday - 10km race
After this my races are:
16km - July 18 (not sure about this one as I think it might be too ambitious)
10km - August 21
21.1km - September 23
with more 10kms planned for October and November
I'll see how I feel after the 10km this Sunday, and then begin the training cycle hopefully on Tuesday.
Any suggestions for what I should do between now and Sunday?
Still haven't gotten the new HR strap, but will let you know how it works once I do.

Race on Sunday was better than my race on the 17th (2 weeks ago). 50:38 with km splits as follows:
4:52
4:55
4:43
4:55
5:10
5:25 - drink break
4:56
5:10
5:21 - drink break
4:58
It was really hot and I think I would have done better to drink a lot more before the race! Legs are much less sore than last time (i.e. not really sore)
Took yesterday off as it was a holiday here and didn't get a chance to fit a run in.
Not sure what to do for the rest of the week - i.e. should I start training schedule today - with intervals for Thursday?
Training Help Please - TheEd - 03-07-2012
it would have been an easy run today and if you have recovered properly it would be the 2k session come Thursday
Cheers

Ran easy Tuesday night - 5.2km in 29:47 but legs did feel heavy - might just be the heat and humidity here, will try for another easy run tonight and then see about intervals for Thursday - should I be doing same as last time 3 x 2km at 4:55 with 90s rest?
Training Help Please - TheEd - 04-07-2012
yes, stick to the previous pace, especially if it has been hot
hope it all becomes easier soon

HR Monitor update - bought a smaller strap before spending the big bucks on the more expensive strap. Tried it out yesterday - no chafing and my chafing problem areas from before weren't irritated either.
As to training - took last week just to do easy running. So plan to get back to the schedule this week.
Last week: - biking - 118.4km
running - 40.1 km
Will start the sub 50-minute schedule tomorrow and will do the 2km intervals on the track this time. 2 questions with the training - how much is the biking going to detract from my running if at all? and can i run longer than the time indicated for the easy runs as long as I am running easy?
