| Training Jog/Walk 55:00 [2] | |
| ahr:112 max:144 shoes: Saucony Approach |

| Speed & Hill work 28:43 [4] | |
| ahr:141 max:162 shoes: Saucony Approach |
| Now doing Lard's 12x60secs with 1 min recovery.
Did first 8 , then needed to get Hamlet over a wall, so took 2 mins recovery, 9, then on 10 or 11 was running out of route - turned to go up a small hill and distater, turned my left ankle and spent about the next 4 minutes writhing about on the floor howling - hence time is some arbitrary number. |

| Training Jog/Walk 48:00 [3] | |
| ahr:133 max:151 |
| warm down, in Roudsea woods and back to car. Managed to go the wrong way in woods hence 30 mins became nearly 50! Must hunt out the O'map I've got. |
| Core 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| pilates and upper body weights. Cancelled row due to unintentional extended run I'd had. Those full length mirrors in the studio are a nightmare! I'll wait and see how stiff I feel tomorrow. Wallowed in bath for a good 45mins - hippo. |

Tuesday Sep 16 |
| Training Jog/Walk 1:09:05 [2] | |
| shoes: inov8 mudroc 290 |
| Simpson Ground which now has new roads in it and has been decimated by felling. Hamlet the hound was well happy. My feet were sore yet again and were on their way to blisters - don't know if these inov8's will ever be blister free - but the fit seems great. Will try and wear them intermittenly and only for short outings - maybe the blister issue will stop. Have printed Lard's interval training schedule so who know's what I may do next. The fact that it doesn't take very long is a big advantage. |

Hope to combine gym, swim, cycling and running as well as some days on the mountains - and the odd bit of orienteering. Variety is the spice of life & all that! |
