Training Log: Angus Dobson

Received a much appreciated email of Nick Barrable to say I hadn't been selected, however if it was your two best races I would have made it, not upset about this, but slightly disappointed, as I know it was probably my jk middle, which with fitness I would of done a whole world better, I guess there isn't much I can do about it as I haven't been well enough to train between last week of November until a week before World schools! it has been an awful season other than a quite respectable 12th at WSOC middle, knocking the mighty Will rigg into 13th place ;) and an ok run to put me 4th best 1st year 18 and British. last week I Managed to get myself booked in for blood tests tomorrow, which may or may not show something up, but whatever it says I know I haven't been well enough, at the start of the season I would have quite comfortably thought I would make it for selection which really shows how my fitness damaged my chance, I have asked for some advice, but really don't know where to go from here, wont be training properly for a while with 5 more exams to do, but need to seriously find some motivation to train, and get a result at the Scottish 6, other than that it's not looking the best, and I will need to think through it over wit week

easy jog, from home, up hoad, through hoad woods, up the soutergate road and left through a couple of farms, then up the gruelling long climb which I didn't quite manage the whole way this time, felt incredibly unfit and only started feeling ok ish by the top of the climb. then round a few lanes, past the edge of Kirby moor and put in an effort up a short steep hill, found a random bridleway, which took me to rosside, then home, feel tired, but lovely weather
