| National event at Cawthorne. Muggy day and felt pretty drained on the way to the start, but perked up and felt good once I got going. A rough forest at the start but it got better as the course went on. Good to have fresh legs I reckon. |
| Running 35:00 [2]6 km (5:50 / km) | |

| Decent warm up before the race and a run after with Rob. |

Thursday May 1 |
| Running 2:05:00 [3]25 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| Having noticed a pattern emerging in Craney's training over the past few days I thought I would take the chance to head out for a session with him before he sells his soul to the man. Out to Wharnecliffe and Greno, then back via Craney's place, it was tempting to stop when I ran right past the end of my street but there was no way I was going to let him get an extra 20 mins on me. Nice run at an optimal chatting pace, but felt pretty tired myself by the end. |

Tuesday Apr 29 |
| Track session 40:00 [5]6 km (6:40 / km) | |
| |
| Hallamshire track session, first time in a few weeks so I was more than a bit worried about it. I'm surprised to say that it was actually quite enjoyable, and we even had the honour of being able to train* with Ronnie the Rocket. Strides and drills followed by 4 x 600, 3 x 500, 4 x 300 with 1.15 recovery. Nice session that kept the interest up. Ran 1.51, 1.50, 1.50, 1.50, 1.31, 1.30, 1.29, 51, 50, 50, 49.
*By train I mean that we did our session and he ran around doing his own thing. Fair enough, he was probably pretty drained after a couple of tough days. |
| Running 55:00 [2]10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| |
| Run to track and run home with Jenny. Mike and Rob refused to run along the tow path because they were afraid of the puddles. |
Monday Apr 28 |
| Running 30:00 [2]5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| |
| Morning jog up to Bolehill, really stiff legs so very steady. |
| Circuits 40:00 [3] | |
| |
| ShUOC circuits. Tried to take it as easy as possible especially on the dynamic stuff. The rest of it felt good for my stiff back and legs. |
| Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]2 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| Dashed there straight from a lecture so no time for warm up. Short warm down in the hall and around Crookes Valley. |
