8 PM

Running 46:00 [2] 8.2 km (5:37 / km) +109m 5:16 / km

Plan was to join the Harriers for their track session however I found it had been cancelled as the track was icy - I wasn't to know as I don't seem to be a member of their facebook group anymore.

Rather than running from home I decided to do a tour of Tonbrige which would have seemed dull but I found it nostalgic and interesting seeing what has changed.

SN Trophy at Ash Ranges - Black 11.7km

Routegadget

Nice area, nice course with routechocies on the longer legs. Trouble was that after a poor leg to 15 I got a bit cold and fed up. Patrick caught me with 6 to go and i would have stayed with him had I not mucked up 25 not seeing the control behind a tree.

Time losses (6 mins):
#3 14s
#11 135s attacked to late with no real attackpoint. Lucky to find it in the end
#14 45s did extra path running then needed then mis interpreted the hill behind the control for the knoll next to it so was hunting like a headless chicken and got lucky
#15 90s rubbish exit then running down the wrong path
#25 36s Didn't see the control behind a tree
#26 40s Off line not really paying attention any more

spiked:29/30c shoes: Salomon Speedcross Vario Trail

Brighton City Race - Mens Open 6.7km

If I ran my own race I would have fighting it out with Leon and Patrick. Unfortunately I didn't do this. I did some following on the first 4 picking bad routes along the beach. This meant Patrick had a small lead going up to 5. In a hurry to latch on to him, I forgot to punch 5 and was halfway to 6 before I realised, binning 2:44 and a lot of energy. After that I was playing catch up and thanks to Scott mispunching I snatched 3rd.

Running 46:51 [2] 8.2 km (5:43 / km) +69m 5:29 / km
ahr:123 max:134 shoes: Salomon Speedcross Vario Trail

Had thought about doing an intervals/tempo session but I was so shattered after packing last night/ driving to Aylesbury this morning/ hard day at work that I only managed an easy 45 mins.

Towpath still closed so did the same loop as before. Boring as per but thinking about the pizza express I always have when here got me through.

I can still feel knee not perfect but it doesn't seem to be an issue like before so happy to press on
