Progression run around Eccy Woods. Ran 2 1/2 loops and felt much better overall than last time. The second loop was comfortable, where I had to work really hard for a slower time in Dec. Couldn't have managed a full loop on the third as I blew up on the hill. Progress.

Hanging, checking and collecting at Limb. Gorgeous day for it with snow on the ground and the sun shining. Tons of kids on the white and yellow and lots of folk to catch up with.
Crookes Valley session. 10x120m then 400, 3x800, 400 (ish - a bit over). 1.23, 2.43, 2.43, 2.41, 1.21. All at a reasonably relaxed pace, aiming for consistency rather than times. Steady increase on last time I ran this before xmas.

Biked to work and ran from there as I need my bike later on. Went for a hilly route down to Hillsborough then up to BHP. Very gusty high up and nearly got knocked over coming through the Arts Tower wind tunnel.
Lunchtime over to Rivelin at a solid pace with an all-out effort up the Coppice Track in 5.01. Gasping by the top, but happy with that as a marker of progress. Wet and soggy and still a bit snotty.
