| Long run out to Wharnecliffe and Greno. Pretty blowy but a nice morning. Sore forefoot so experimented with some extra padding, which got me through the run. |
| Circuits 10:00 [2] | |

| Another last minute one. |
Saturday Jun 21 |
| Running 1:00:00  13 km (4:37 / km) | |
| |
| 2 x 15 mins on a road loop near Pensford with about 10 mins in between. The efforts were pretty much all uphill and the recovery was all downhill so a tough session. |

| Almost forgot today... |

| Circuits 10:00 [3] | |

| Running 1:00:00 [2]11 km (5:27 / km) | |
| |
| Out to the Grindleford fell race, but not to compete - my legs badly need a break from racing. Nails and I went for a jog around the route with a few detours to offer a bit of support/heckling. Nice evo for it after all the showers earlier. Looked painful. |
Wednesday Jun 18 |
| Running 1:20:00 [3]16 km (5:00 / km) | |
| |
| The usual loxley, fisheries, spoon lane route in blustery and wet conditions. Not feeling too bad really and quite enjoyed myself. |
| Circuits 10:00 [2] | |
| |
| A set of core strength exercises. After a few weeks of racing I have a couple of niggles including a sore hip flexor on the right, and a stiff glute on the left. I'm usually rubbish at doing this kind of strength training, so the plan is to do a 10 min session every day until WOC to put things back in working order...lets see if it works out. |

| C • Good effort... 19 |
Tuesday Jun 17 |
| Track session 30:00 [5]5 km (6:00 / km) | |
| |
| Back to Woodbourne Rd after a good few weeks away. It was like seeing an old friend again. Usual drills and strides followed by three sets of 600, 500, 400 with 35 secs recovery, 3 mins between sets. Felt pretty good at the start but quickly got tired and struggled to complete the session, legs still feeling quite empty after the weekend.
Just for Nails: 1.46, 1.28, 1.10 / 1.48, 1.31, 1.14 / 1.51, 1.31, 1.14. |
| Running 55:00 [2]10 km (5:30 / km) | |
| |
| To track and back with Jen, Nails, Rob and John. Took on the epic canal detour and picked our way through the treacherous puddles. Jenny saw a big dead fish. |
| Running 20:00 [1]3 km (6:40 / km) | |
| |
| Jogging about in the morning at Graves park getting to some of the more inaccessible bits to update the map. |
Monday Jun 16 |
| Note | |
| (injured) (rest day) |
| Slept in until almost midday after the usual hellish drive home from Stansted. Felt so tired and sleepy all day I just couldn't face any training.
Also the start of a niggling foot injury - ball of my right foot hurts after Jukola. |
