| Lincoln city race. Eyeballs out racing around the streets and cobbles of Lincoln. Some tricky bits (especially at the end which was quality) but lots of long legs which gave plenty of time to plan ahead and a bit of dead running. A good run out nonetheless. I was pleased, second (I think), 2 and a half minutes down on Oli. |
| Running warm up/down 20:00 [2]3 km (6:40 / km) | |

| Just to try and stop my legs stiffening up too much. |

| Really enjoyable run in the peaks in the sun with Rob & Oli. Parked at the Fox House and went out along White Edge as far as Wellingtons Monument and then back along Frogatt Edge. Beautiful day. Quality. |

| Run to the club hut, and then up Loxley Valley to Damflask behind Jason which was supposed to be easy but felt pretty hard to me. Then me, Oli and Rob climbed out of the valley, dropped down again and up Spoon Lane (runs parallel to Spout Lane but is off road). Through Stannington to Rivelin and home. Legs stiff after yesterday. |

| Run to and from Woodbourne Road track from work. |
| Running (Technique drills) 30:00 [4]4 km (7:30 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| First session of the drills Jubby suggested to work on running style. Persuaded Oli to come along too so that we could look silly together. Started off with dynamic stretching (Jubby - need more info on that knee swirls one - don't think we did it right), then technique drills, then finished with speedwork 10 * 150m off 150m jog back recovery.
It was tough, and made the muscles work. The speedwork was tiring, not sure my technique was right but was concentrating on the knee lift and keeping my hips forward. |

| I have wanted to do a long ride for a while, and today was a good opportunity with nothing else on and the sun shining. A57 to Ladybower, Bamford, Hathersage, Grindleford, Calver, Hassop, Pilsey, Chatsworth, Beeley, Beeley Moor, Owler Bar, Fox House, Hunters Bar. Just over 80km. Back pretty stiff at the end, but enjoyed it. |
