 | Running intervals 1:00:00 [4]15.5 km (3:52 / km) | |
| shoes: Asics Gel 1120 (1) |
| 15 * 3 min / 1 min Foxdals around part of the Sheffield half marathon route. The only bit of the course I didn't cover was the first and last bit near Don Valley. Did all the bit through town, I think the out of town Eccy Road section will feel tough on race day. A couple of little hills at the end of Charter Row, up the side of Devonshire Green and up past Ponds Forge. |

| Home to club hut, out to session and then back home. Started to rain heavily on the way home. Saw Rach's housemate Jenn (running) = 2 points, running total = 6 points.
Heard tonight that a former world champion could be interested in training with our group whilst he is in Sheffield for a couple of weeks towards the end of April. That would be pretty cool. |
