On track

February 11, 2008

Completed the longest lap so far in my training schedule on Saturday - a 25 km in about 2 hours and 10 min. That equals a steady pace of 11 km an hour.

Shelter just sent me a newsletter outlining their housing advice services. They advise 100000 people every year, many through their network of Housing Aid Centres. Shelter advises on a wide range of housing-related issues, including homelessness, allocations, tenancy law, disrepairs, housing and council tax benefit claims, rent or mortgage arrears, harassment and violence in the home, problems with the landlord, and the prevention of homelessness.

Ran my 3 miles tonite … fartlek style.

What is Fartlek?
Fartlek comes from the Swedish word which means ‘speed play’. It refers to a kind of workout in which the runner accelerates sporadically then slows down again with no particular structure. It is a kind of freestyle interval training which includes spontaneous bursts of speed depending on how the runner feels.

No running shoes for me today as I was too late - didnt get to the renowned store Løplabbet in time.

Hey - but I couldnt let that stop me so went on the treadmill with my old basket shoes running a 7.5 k.  I ll spend a LOT of time in my local  Friskis &Svettis gym in the next three months….
