Lake District trip with Rob was a lot of fun but a bit of a wash out on the exercise front. Was feeling headachey and lacking in energy all weekend, and the hills were so icy we didn't do much. Spent Sunday in Grizedale and was underwhelmed by the sculptures!

Run back home after a very positive meeting at the lab. Results chapters should be done and dusted by the end of next week! Excellent. Hamie not good but better if I focus on good style.

Super quick stretch.

6mins aerobic, 2 x 5 (1) @ threshold, 11 mins aerobic. Second aerobic bit was uber slow, but intervals felt good. R hamstring too tight. I think maybe I have lazy arse syndrome.

Bah sitting and writing all day doesn't half make you stiff. I can barely touch my toes today after a good day yesterday. Might have to go to Pilates with Mum this evening to try and stretch out a bit.

Eurgh! It's minging out there today! Wet and windy and partially snowy. Bleurgh. Colder than any of the actual cold days. Still, enjoyed getting out once I made it and did aerobic, 5 minutes of drills (getting faster and more co-ordinated, still not sure about this Russian Dance though!), 14 mins of sub threshold which was getting quite speedy, even up hills. Sprint up the hill at the end actually felt like a real sprint, well co-ordinated with good form. Getting there. And without too much volume. ObviouslyI know I would struggle to attempt a proper classic right now, but I am regaining fitness and efficiency quite quickly. Which is good.

Core bits - the more static version with some crunches and weighted press ups to start. Ouch.

Stretching plus some back stretching too. Bah, writing!

Wow, over 3 miles at last. An exciting day to be sure. 11 mins aerobic, 15 mins sub threshold (mostly fine but a bit slippy in places to really stride out), 3 mins aerobic. Horrible wet slush everywhere. Rubbish!
