| Running 36:00 [2] | |
| shoes: new Brooks Adrenaline | ||
| Pre-breakast run round Rodborough Common, great views and an iron age hill fort.
My legs very heavy again, right hamstring and calf sore and tight. More positively it did clear my head after a whole day of drinking and eating and unsuccessful wagering at Cheltenham races on Thursday......so under the circumstances I couldn't really expect to be feeling too great. That is a few runs in a row that have been hard work though, and I have had a pretty easy week, will be concerned if not feeling good again by Sunday. | ||
Wednesday Mar 12 | ||
| Intervals hills 30:00 [4] | |
| shoes: Inov8 | ||
| Can't make FVO run this evening but realised I could fit in a run at lunchtime - haven't been running from work for ages and ages.
Lovely sunny day and all the woodland on the Crag looking gorgeous, definite sprint race potential in conjunction with Pru campus - although the cliffs are a bit big and dangerous! Doing reps up the hill seemed a good plan as missing both FVO reps sessions this week too - it was also a good plan as nice and sheltered from the strong wind! Legs felt like lead again though which wasn't so good, almost bailed after the third one but pulse wasn't high so got a grip on myself and tried harder, actually felt slightly better by the end.. Times were (jog down recovery time in brackets) 2:34 (2:34) 2:41 (2:50) 2:43 (2:47) 2:39 (2:49) 2:39 (2:51) 2:38 Maybe I am remembering it wrong from doing these reps many years ago but thought I was in shape to be doing 2:30 at least - will try again in a few weeks and see what I can do when feeling a bit more spritely..... | ||
| Running warm up/down 23:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Inov8 | ||
| Warm up/down up and around the crag, so long since I was up here that I had to check the routes still existed, look quite well maintained which is good. | ||
Tuesday Mar 11 | ||
| Running 40:51 [2] | |
| shoes: Inov8 | ||
| In London all day and felt knackered, unusually for me slept on both plane journeys.
Got home late but legs felt stiff so headed out round Leckie loop. Felt rubbish to start with, really lethargic. Felt like the first half was all uphill into the wind. Felt a bit better when I realised first half WAS all uphill into the wind. Felt a bit less stiff by the end, legs eased off. It was all very slow as well - I guess not much effort put in either as pulse was back well below 100 within 30secs of finishing - just about worth going out though. Hopefully just felt like that after a long day and running so late - need to heed Lard's advice and keep getting the rest in! | ||

Was liking that. A lot. | ||
Sunday Mar 9 | ||
| Running 1:06:26 [3] | |
| shoes: Inov8 | ||
| Got home from Wales while it was still light and could see snow on the hills - not sure when my next chance will be to run in snow so headed up into the Gargunnock Hills to Carleatheran summit.
Enjoyed it but soaking and freezing underfoot - very painful when my feet started to thaw again! Legs feel a bit overloaded and could do with a rest - looking forward to an easy week or so now pre-JK. (Got on the plane at Cardiff when Cardiff City were beating Middlesbro 1-0 after 10mins in the FA Cup quarter-final. When we arrived in Edinburgh, I have never seen so many people get from a plane to the nearest television so quickly!!) | ||
