Same as Monday, still in Graves Park. It's a great place to go running, so much variety of terrain and elevation.

Running race 46:27 [5] 9.81 km (4:44 / km) +364m 4:00 / km
shoes: Innov8s

Longshaw sheepdog trials fell race. This is the first race I have done since the Bakewell Pudding Race on 29th June. And I felt it. Lost a bit of time going the wrong way on the top of Burbage crags, but not as much as the leaders! The climb up through the field at the end was the real killer though. Glad to have got a race in, hopefully they will get a bit easier...

Running 20:00 [2] 2.5 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: Innov8s

Warm up and warm down. Oli was in a boo.

Thursday Aug 28, 2008 #

Running intervals (Track) 26:00 [5] 4.0 km (6:30 / km)
shoes: Lightweight trainers

Mike Theobald's Thursday track session. Not quite as high a standard as a Tuesday so just about managed to cope. 400m, 200m recovery, 600m, 400m recovery. 4 sets. No speed in my legs at all, but glad I did the session. And you get charged £2.60 for track on a Thursday!

Running 40:00 [3] 7.7 km (5:12 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Left my car at work, ran to track to warm up, then ran back to pick my car up as a warm down.

Wednesday Aug 27, 2008 #

Running 48:00 [3] 10.65 km (4:30 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Roads. Tried to keep the pace reasonably brisk, and finished with a rep up Blake Street which nearly killed me.

Tuesday Aug 26, 2008 #

Note

First day at the new job. Didn't finish until late so no time for a run.
C • Job 2

Monday Aug 25, 2008 #

Running (Drills) 53:00 intensity: (20:00 @2) + (20:00 @3) + (8:00 @4) + (5:00 @5) 7.5 km (7:04 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Drills in Graves Park, with sprints and power hills. A lap of the park to warm up and warm down. Unsurprisingly, I'm now a little sore around my hips.

Sunday Aug 24, 2008 #

Running 1:09:56 [3] 13.6 km (5:09 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Sensor (8.5)

Stannington and Coppice track. Got caught in a bit of drizzle but apart from that it was a nice day to be out.

Saturday Aug 23, 2008 #

Running 1:13:26 [3] 16.4 km (4:29 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Ran from home out to the new office and back, to see how long it would take. It was further than I thought (37 mins / 5.25 miles), but from having had another look at the map there are a couple of short cuts I can take. My hangover kicked in about half way through Attercliffe on the way back.

On the plus side, even if I only run to and from work I will still do over 70 minutes of running!

Friday Aug 22, 2008 #

Note
(rest day)

Last day at my current job so out for a few beers after work to celebrate (commiserate). Start the new job on Tuesday so no break. It's going to be a bit different...

Thursday Aug 21, 2008 #

Note

Game of 5-a-side football with some people from work. I've not played for ages and it was hard work. I also have the feeling I'm going to be sore in the morning, especially the bottom of my shins.

Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 #

Running 41:00 intensity: (6:00 @2) + (21:00 @3) + (14:00 @4) 8.5 km (4:49 / km)

Short Rivelin loop with 7 * 2 mins strides with 1 min jog recovery between.

Tuesday Aug 19, 2008 #

Running 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Run home from work plus warm up and warm down.

Running hills 27:00 [5] 5.6 km (4:49 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

Springvale Spirals. Two of each hill, ten in total. That's the first interval session that I've done in quite a while, and it felt tough. Blew the cobwebs away though.
C • Spirals 1

Sunday Aug 17, 2008 #

Running 59:00 [3] 12.0 km (4:55 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Sensor (8.5)

Rivelin with Rich. Ankles a little bit achey after yesterday. A nice end to a good week of running.

Saturday Aug 16, 2008 #

Running 1:22:00 [3] 12.6 km (6:30 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Sensor (8.5)

Terrain-tastic run starting from somewhere above High Bradfield for a change of 'seen'. Most of the run was in terrain, I found it tough and struggled. But still enjoyable, and there was a big group of us out.

Friday Aug 15, 2008 #

Running 1:30:00 [3] 16.0 km (5:38 / km)

Better than work on a sunny Friday afternoon run with Rich. Parked at Heatherdene and went up Win Hill (a new way for me), along the ridge, Hagg Farm, Lockerbrook, Fairholmes and back along the side of the reservoir. Very nice.

Thursday Aug 14, 2008 #

Saturday Aug 9, 2008 #

Running 1:01:00 [2] 12.0 km (5:05 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Sensor (8.5)

Just a nice cruise around Rivelin. I felt a bit overdressed at the start with my 3/4 length lycras, short sleeve thermal, waterproof and hat on. But by the end, when it was chucking it down, it was spot on.

Run from Damflask with Rich. Still not feeling 100%, but we ran at a nice pace and I made it to the end in one piece. Explored a few new paths.
C • Can't think why???? 1

Saturday Aug 2, 2008 #

Running 59:34 [3] 11.5 km (5:11 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Sensor (8.5)

New route from Emma's. Had a bit of a scratchy throat and felt a bit rubbish to start with, but the longer the run went on the better I felt. Enjoyed it.

Friday Aug 1, 2008 #

Running 44:00 [3] 9.5 km (4:38 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (2)

To work the long way, and back home the short way. My running has been so dull this week.
