| Regional event at Bentley Woods. Great area, just a shame it isn't bigger. Not a great run, binned a lot of time. One big mistake and a loss of focus in the middle section. Finished quite strongly after a hard few days training so not all bad. |

| Woke my road bike from it's winter hibernation, gave it a bit of tlc and then took it for a quick loop round the block to check gears / brakes. Seems fine, will try and get out on it a bit over the next few weeks. |
Saturday Apr 21 |
| Running long 1:55:00 [3]23 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics trail shoes |
| Long run out in the peaks with Oli, Neil, Rob and James. From Heatherdene, up Win Hill, along the ridge, Hagg Farm, Fairholmes, Lost Lad, Back Tor and Derwent edge. Struggled on the climb up to Back Tor and then Neil put the boot in along Derwent Edge so the last 30 minutes was quite hard. Then a picnic after. Spot on. |

| Running intervals 30:00 [5]6 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Lightweight trainers |
| Track. Back to it after 3 weeks off and it felt very very hard. 5 * 1km with 1 minute recovery and then 4 * 250m with 50m walk recovery. Glad I got through that as hopefully it won't be mentally as tough next week. |
| Running 45:00 [3]9 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Run from work to track, ran with Jen most of the way. Then from track back home with Oli and Jen. Now it's light we can run along the canal which makes it nicer. |

| Running race 25:50 [5]6.8 km (3:48 / km) +180m 3:21 / km | |
| shoes: Innov8s |
| Trunce 2. Legs felt heavy tonight after the races over the weekend. Interestingly I was running OK up the hills, but had no leg speed on the flat sections.
Despite that, my splits through the first two sections were faster than 3 weeks ago which is pleasing. |
