Cool TT, good to have you on board. Are you actively trying to do non-running training too, or are the hours just going to be another count of your big Premier League mileage? :-)G

Hi HappyG, I just like to try and stay active. I am just starting to build up again after a year out due to illness. I run but also enjoy hill walking with my dogs or just taking a long ride on my bike. It is nice to have a goal to aim for, hopefully that will keep me motivated.

Added a couple of new additions to the header, and hopefully you can all see your targets for the month.
Banked a couple of hours this morning.

My target might be a bit soft. i-m doing 60-70 mile week running, which is 10 hrs. even just 2 hrs gym n swim is 12. Could be over 500 but we'll see. :-)G

I'm thinking my target may be a bit ambitious as I won't be running as much this year. But then I aim to cycle and swim more and keep up with my weights and resistance training.
The danger is just sticking something in on a rest day. So I'm going to put stretch and rollering in on rest days (although I'll do it other times too). But I still can't justify to myself logging it!

I am in, I will say 500. I managed 459 last year, 170 hiking, big hiking holidays, 226 running, 18 bike, 50 hours weights circuits core. I want to increase bike and core/circuits/weights, and increase running slightly, possibility hiking will suffer.

I've been thinking about rest days. I've scheduled in Friday as a regular rest day. But if I do a session on a Thursday morning at 6am (as I do), then as long as I didn't do anything before Friday morning, that's 24 hours rest. So could I theoretically stick a session in at lunchtime?
I'd probably do a non-impact session like yoga/core conditioning. I've just joined my workplace gym, so am looking at what I can get out of it.
But I know when I'm all fired up with enthusiasm, I have a tendency to want to do too much, so I'd be interested to know what you think.

I count Pilates and even BodyPump as "rest" by which I mean "rest from running". I think there are 2 bits to rest:
- activity specific (e.g. if you do biceps today, you can do quads tomorrow or whatev)
- general aerobic/fatigue i.e. just do less or nothing sometimes
How big the rest, how long etc. is dependent on and relative to what you are used to. I've seen a certain 2:30 marathon runner call 24 hours without running "a rest". For others running every 24 hours would be intense, back to back training. So it's all relative.
But you'll prob know the balance best yourself. If you think you're overdoing it, you prob are! :-)G
