| Long run with Andy P and Rich. Parked at Redmires, ran along the conduit to the A57, across to Boots folly, down and up to Back Tor, along Derwent Edge to the Wheel Stones, then cut across to come out just above Cutthroat Bridge. Finished off along Stanage Edge and past the pole. Nice run, apart from the hail shower just near the end. |

| SYO Spring Cup race on the Walkley map. Rob had planned a quality course (thanks Rob!) with lots of tricky control sites and route choices. Made a couple of little errors but nothing major. It appears Neil has the series wrapped up unless I can find a way to penalise him some points. |

| Run home with Rich. Absolutely piss wet through when I got back. |

| Pretty tough track session tonight. Started off with 1000m, 800m, 600m off 2 mins recovery. Then went on to a 15 minute 300m relay partnered with Oli. Ran 9 reps, each taking between 49 and 52 secs with the same recovery between each but had to jog 100m. Finished off with a 100m shuttle relay for 7 mins. |

| Running race 25:47 [5]6.5 km (3:58 / km) +220m 3:24 / km | |
| shoes: Innov8s |
| Trunce 3. After the recent rain the river was up so the rope was out. Made the course quite a bit slower (I hope). Just scraped a pb but had to run hard all the way to the line. Stomach felt bloated, maybe too much buffet food at lunch. |
| Running 20:00 [3]4 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Innov8s |
| Warm up for Trunce and very short warm down as had to rush off to an SYO committee meeting. Oli & Jen were too busy to come, which was a shame because they missed an exciting meeting. |
