Training Log: Nobs

Easy morning miles round Bannerdown common. Extended the lap to include a decent little climb. Feeling pretty good again, and pretty much nothing from the shin.

Another one round Bannerdown Common. Flatter loop, feeling the heat but moving quite well. Breaking in the new tempo shoes.

Nice spot of pre-brekkie bridleway action. Heatwave incoming but wasn’t too bad at this time of the morning. Still pretty toasty! Virtually nothing from the shin and body felt good.

Nice 30’ on the grass round bannerdown common. Was worried shins would hurt but barely anything from them so happy days. Will keep it chill for a bit. New shoes, very comfy.

Ess and See.

A hilly 21 miles for 21 years. Planned to pull the plug if the shin gave me any bother. Felt it occasionally but not at all after half way. Only had a slice of toast for breakfast and a banana at half way. Accidentally went a bit hard up the climbs in the first half. Felt brilliant at 90mins. However in the last 10km I started to go downhill. Dipping into a horrible bonk. No water for the last hour probably caused it. Got my head down and ground through the bonk. By the time I got home my blood sugar numbers had hit negative. Absolutely spangled, not really a surprise as HR was 165 average so it was a steady 3 hour effort lol. Good run though.

Short lumpy plod. Again feeling good but shin not feeling great. Only a 1/10 but I think a bit more noticeable than yesterday. Still going to do 21miles on Sunday which I hope will fix this.

EUOC core. 4 sets this evening. Huge.
