Training Log Archive: Indiana Jones

Warm up run with Ginie plus a few strides and extra jogging to stay warm in the cold wind.

Glen Clova HM. Nice undulating course on minor roads. Wanted to try and push myself to get under the CR (67'21) but slowed down too much in the final 5km. First half was much more hilly but with a tailwind, think I was around 31'40" at 10km which wasn't that fast. Would have been possible to go faster but I thought saving energy for the last half was a good idea. When we turned around I struggled to keep a good pace going in the windy sections. The final 4km had a few short sharp hills too which also killed the speed. Really enjoyed it and felt strong all the way, would have been amazing to have a tough head to head race on this course. When I saw Kris Jones on the start line I thought it might happen but he'd been injured and took it easy.

Very cold cool down jog. Got a massage afterwards and the guy reckoned the achilles/calf didn't seem bad. Could feel it slightly in the hours after but seemed to ease off when moving a while.
