6x 3km session. Disappointed with this session, the weather was awful -rain, and cold, but the main problem was the very strong wind. A couple of sections I'm not sure I was moving forwards. I also just felt still pretty tired, I'm not sure what's up, I think I'm just going through a bad patch and I suppose can't expect to nail every session. Rep times were slower, much slower than I wanted - 12.00, 11.52, 12.01, 12.11, 12.24, 12.38. Have to admit I got very tired from running against the wind and hence why Rep times slowed.

24mins moderate, then 10x1min at 10k pace, then 20mins moderate. Took me a while to get into thus session, although the pace was pretty much there I didn't feel great, more it felt like I was running a lot slower then I actually was.

Decided to do a short afternoon run as my mum was walking somewhere and I could run to meet her. Not great conditions but I felt better than I did this morning.

Easy run in awful awful weather, rain, very windy and absolutely freezing. Ran down the hill for 2.5km then along biddulph way and then came back the same way, would have been a nice run if it hadn't been for the weather. Felt ok, generally just not quite right, but legs felt like they had more energy in them. Finished with 6 x hill sprints.

Moderate run, but my legs still felt pretty tired. Managed 4.30ks on the flat, and that was ok, think it's taking me a few extra days to recover. Didn't sleep great last night.

Clams exercises that Chris gave me. Didn't run in the run evening as I felt like I needed a rest. Also had gait analysis in the evening as well. Indicated as I thought that I need to work on glut strength on right side.

Easy run, but my legs felt very tired today, running was quite an effort, still on the flat I was running 4.40ks. Found a new route which meant I was on the flat after 2.5k then ran off road but flat for 7k before running back up a road home.

New standing exercises from Chris. Getting better at them..

Easy run, felt a bit better this evening, legs still tired on any of the gentle inclines. Finished with 4 x strideouts.

Easy run and my legs felt knackered today, very tired and no energy in them. Quite a bit of muscle soreness in them as well. Just ran it easy, mixture of off road and on road (to get onto the off road).

Core work, usual swiss ball exercises and then new standing based exercises that Chris gave me to do. Also some extra swiss ball work.
